It's also on LiveStats on NCAA.com but only the score with the time elapsed. No way to follow the action but the posts here have been so sparse, that you can't follow along unless you have the right TV channel.

This ref has missed two obvious fouls by FSU.

 

[robjknight]

Even the announcer called them

After a very shaky first ~10 min, we've played much, much better and have had the better chances - just not quite making that great final pass to get a goal. We're also frustrating their attack with excellent defense.

 

[RUTrack94]

Awesome job!

Playing against a tough, very experienced squad ranked #1 and holding their own!

RU proving they belong on the national stage!!!!

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Great half we pressured them into mistakes and had a few counters. Held them to 0 shots in last 40 minutes.

yep

 

[eso1989]

Anyone there? What’s the RU crowd like?

This was an awesome half by RU. Sustained the first charge by FSU and got lucky they didn’t give up a goal then played really well. Frankie looks more like herself today. Let’s go!!!

The team survived that first few minutes of shock and settled in. I saw the last 10 minutes and RU looked pretty good. Surprised on the no foul, and for a second when the goalie failed to clear I thought that was the magical moment.

RU has done what they were expected to do as the top seed in their region, so everything else is icing on the cake.

0-0 at the half … very proud!

Great half. They look like the better team but as we know in soccer that doesn’t alway equal a win

 

[MS-RU]

RU weathered the initial pressure and attack by FSU and looked much better after that.

yeah, on the bad clear, the RU player (not sure who it was) should've just chested it down and would've had a free shot at the keeper, instead of trying to head it in from 17 yards out...

 

[newell138]

Much better than watching the basketball game

 

[MadRU]

Damn, should be up

 

[RU#1fan]

Much better than watching the basketball game

Yep

 

[robjknight]

Thought ewe had that goal

 

[zebnatto]

RU Women are fearless!

 

[daneman100]

RU should have had at least one penalty so far.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

What was the phantom call at the 30'. Offsides? FSU players ran into each other and kicked ball out of bounds.

 

[RUtom]

We don’t control the ball much do we?

 

[zebnatto]

We may be wearing down.

 

[RU848789]

FSU dominating now

 

[MadRU]

Damn

 

[RU848789]

FSU dominating now

And goes up 1-0...

 

[daneman100]

Guessing no VAR in college?

 

[RUtom]

Cant win with no offense

 

[jordkap]

Team can’t possess the ball at all, this is looking hopeless. Best shot was to go 0-0 to a shootout

 

[RUTrack94]

It’s not over … FSU has been in the Cup 3 of the past 4 years and lost in the finals last year on PKs. Only goal FSU gave up was on a PK.

Stranger things have happened.

 

[Plum Street]

Tuned in and the crowd looks like a Jv high school football game !! Wow

 

[RUTrack94]

Time to be aggressive and lay it on the line.

 

[RU848789]

Need to start taking some chances now, which will leave us open for the counter...

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Keep grinding it but surprised he did not bring in Banks to rest the D.

 

[greenknight]

Defense needs to stop worrying about clearing the ball and start controlling it

 

[newell138]

Ugh!!

 

[RU848789]

What a chance - two great saves - damn...

 

[RUTrack94]

So close …. Thought we had it …. no PK?

 

[biazza38]

Kill me

 

[RUTrack94]

RU has had a few good shots this game.

Probably going to be a Santa Clara vs FSU final.

 

[RUTrack94]

Kill me

Can’t be too upset with a loss … FSU is like a world U-23 all-star team … and needed a goal on a set piece.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Bummer. Keep Grinding....
