Big Dance 2022 - Let's Go!

GA is completely outmatched by Chicago. That team is going to be tough to beat.

It's still only 1-0, so anything could happen, but Chicago has a lot of veterans and they seem to know how to see this one out.

Agreed, but with only 4 shots (1 on goal), they're going to need to generate some more offense to notch it even.

I know it's the wrong board, but I will put in a plug for the Hopkins-Misericordia women's game. Both teams are undefeated - #1 (Mis) vs. #2 (JHU) in a quarterfinal game. 1-0 Hop at half.

The bracket on D3 soccer erroneously lists Kenyon as the victor but yes, Williams did indeed pull it out

Can you confirm that it's showing correctly now.  As soon as I saw your post I checked and it was showing correct for me.  In fact, I input the result personally minutes after the completion of the game and hadn't revisited the bracket until seeing your post.  So not sure what may have happened, but want to be sure it's showing correctly for everyone now.

Chicago takes care of business 1-0.  Back to the Final Four!

Shows correctly for me. Williams 1, Kenyon 0.

Chicago gets the result and doesn't celebrate whatsoever...

I noticed that too. Part of it is they are probably exhausted, cold, and want to get inside, but part of it may be the feeling that when you've been to the Final Four last year and lost, you have unfinished business.

Weird.  When I go to this link it shows Kenyon as the winner:

No time. Gotta hurry up and get back to the library.

I think Christian was talking about the D3soccer.com bracket,  not the NCAA one. The NCAA one was wrong last time I checked.

Congratulations to Williams.  I thought they outplayed Kenyon especially in the sense that Ephs did what they wanted to do and Kenyon didn't do what Owls wanted to do.  I knew was going to be a very difficult game but did not think there was any way Kenyon wouldn't finally pull one of these out.  Brutal, brutal, brutal.  I've watched the Kenyon no-goal that was waved off for offsides just a few minutes before Williams scored and I don't see it or maybe just don't understand it....all Kenyon players looked clearly onside when cross coming in left Thesing's foot, then Diffley spills the ball, Kenyon puts it in.  Then with five minutes left multiple Kenyon players simultaneously called for a handball in the box that wasn't called so don't know if there was anything there or not.  Williams goal comes off restart from over Williams side of the field by GK, Kenyon clears couple of time but Williams able to loft back in, I think Boardman gets a head on it, and Wang pushes the ball in with the side of his foot and ball trickles in reminiscient of Tufts in 2016.  Kenyon CB got beat but got just enough pressure on Wang that Pedreschi could have stayed in net and would have collected easily but that's what happens in these games.  Still, though, amazing performance by the Williams defense even though I still don't understand how Owls couldn't break them down.  Kenyon still had enough chances to win but just didn't get it done.   The constant set pieces/deep throws even from 50-60 yards out was tough to watch but kept enough pressure on Kenyon defense to keep them very occupied.

I would trust the teams involved and they agree that Williams won 1-0.

The NCAA corrected the brackets and now show Williams is the winner

Yes, I thought nescac1 was talking about D3soccer.com when he wrote "D3 soccer".  So let the record show that D3soccer.com was correct and NCAA.com was wrong!!!!   

     

Anyway, sorry for distracting from discussion of the games/results themselves.
