In a game between two of the most offensively productive teams in the NCAA, Brown flew out to Denver to be tested by the Pioneers. While the Pio’s punched their ticket to the NCAA Elite Eight, Brown was another victim of Denver’s prominence falling 15-9. Despite a six point goal differential, the game was very close statistically. Denver’s Trevor Baptiste won more face offs, but not by as many as…

Entering Selection Sunday, the top four seeds in the NCAA Tournament were a pretty safe bet, and even Duke at #5 was almost a sure thing. The top four seeds took care of business (there were some close…
The game started out with shades of last year’s upset loss to Bryant, as the Red Foxes of Marist scored the game’s first goal to take an early lead. That would be their only lead of the night.

What an excellent weekend. While there were a lot of great moments including a nice hidden ball trick goal from Hopkins, for me, the best had to have been watching Albany’s Blaze Riorden make a very nice save before trucking down the field and putting away a goal. Although I picked Albany to win, I did not expect the Great Danes’ defense to show up like it did. If the…

In the Saturday nightcap of NCAA action, Duke played host to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State had played some teams tough this year, scored some big upsets, but also had some real head scratchers in the their record. When the dust settled though, Ohio State would leave North Carolina with the biggest upset of the tournament so far. The first quarter was unsettling slow. Duke had really turned…
