Hard disagree. Duke deserved to win with the amount of possession they held, but just couldn’t break through. Temperature was in the low 40’s but felt colder with the wind. Lot of hot chocolates sold. Even though it was a home game the atmosphere was subdued with many students away. Referee let some questionable calls go in the box for sure. Sophie played solidly, Cooper couldn’t do it alone up top against five defenders. Wish they went with a more attacking formation from the start. Not sure size of attackers is critical in soccer.
FSU wins 4-0 over Hofstra
Washington wins 3-2 over Indiana
Next up….Duke/SLU
Game time!
I missed it because I was watching the Iron Bowl, bot Saint Louis up 1-0 with 27 left in the 1st half.
In a car driving back from Florida, so I can’t watch.
But it appears Thor was benched for the first 20 minutes
1-0 at the half
Shots are 7-4 SLU…but each team has only one shot on goal
Corners are 5-1 SLU
Thor!!!!
1-1 in the 54th
2-1 SLU in 58th on a fluke goal
St. Louis up 2-1 with 32 minutes left
Centerback whiffs on a header
3-1 SLU
3-2 Pariano buries it after the SLU centerback whiffs on a cross from Shak Mohammed
15 to go
Duke offense has been good
Very shaky in the back….McGarvey having a nightmare game
Jai Bean!!!! Blistering header off a free kick
3-3
4-3 SLU
Santa Ihara with an own goal off a corner
The defense tonight is shambolic
SLU scores off an own-goal from a corner kick. 4-3 with 10 and a half to go.
10 to go
This has been a wild game
4-3 Final
Defense wins championships….that was not good enough
You can’t make mistakes like that and win
Men and Women both lose at home. Kerr and Church did very well and I believe their programs will be in the mix 2022 for post season play.
