Rutgers Women's Soccer vs UConn
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
The other regional semi-final is #4 USC vs. #1 Virginia. I believe it will be at Rutgers if USC wins and at UVA if UVA wins.
That's a BEAT DOWN of a program we needed to "beat down" IMHO.
My first women's soccer game ever - picked a really good one to go to. After a slow start, the women were quite dominant for much of the game. UConn is a very good team - evidence, their shutout of ND on Friday - and have been in the Top 25 for just about the entire season. So a 4-0 shutout win over them is nothing to sneeze at.
As I write, UVa is ahead of USC 1-0 with about 10 minutes left in the game so unfortunately, today may have been RU's last home game. Hopefully USC will come back and win that game.
Nice crowd on hand. Never having been there before, it is hard to estimate but I would guess that there were at least 2000 on hand, probably more. Anyone know what the attendance record is for an RU women's soccer home game?

Great game & win. UConn is a good side & had a few moments but we dominated. Once again played hard & smart all over the field. We are playing with great rhythm, chemistry & confidence. Madison Tiernan & Katlyn Walters with headers off set pieces in the 1st half. Cassie Inacio from 20 yds in 2nd & Colby Ciarroca with a breakaway in the last minute.
We go to UVA for the final eight. Go RU.

881 seems extremely low. I was told the stands are supposed to handle around 5K and seemed over half full to me.
That was really such a great, well played game by RU against a very good team.
That is what they mean when they call it the beautiful game.
Congratulations and well done to the team.

It's funny you mention this as I was thinking "this really is a beautiful game" as I was sitting in the stands yesterday.
Maybe the attendance was the paid figure because when I went up to the ticket window it seemed like everyone was waiting in the will call lines but there easily had to be 2000 people there certainly looked like more people than were at the bball game on Saturday
Looking at the teams that are left in the tournament, I'm kinda glad our next game isn't against PSU or FSU who are playing really impressive soccer right now.
Though Virginia is ranked #1 in the country in the coaches poll, we still got a good draw. Virginia is a very good team but they haven't been lights out dominate this season like in years past.
I'd rank the teams that are left;
1. PSU
2. FSU
3/4. tie: RU & Virginia
5. WV
6. Stanford
7. Duke
8. Texas A&M
Maybe people don't fully realize it but RU can surely win on Friday. It should be a great one. Go Knights!

I wouldn't put RU below PSU. That game we lost to them was an aberration. We were completely frozen. We out played them & beat them at our place. While they may be playing well, we are playing very well indeed. I look forward to playing them again.
Giving up a quick goal, to a home team in a post-season game, is usually an absolute killer. Look at:
- RU @ Ohio State (men)
- RU @ PSU (women)
- Red Bull @ Columbus Crew (last night)
....as just 3 examples from the past 10 days or so. A couple of those outcomes wouldn't have been different in the end (W/L) however it's a serious blow to the mental aspect of this game when there are early goals.
