Also notice who took the penalty kicks out of necessity: Not Achara, not Dodson, not Sands, not Neilus.............
Anybody feel sorry for #18 UVa after all the excessive fouling during the game to get their way? Not me.
What a classy way to win a championship. Almost every single player played in the semi final and final game. And all contributed greatly. A very proud moment for Hoya Nation. Congrats to all.

The nice thing is due to the seeding, our team had to be considered the underdog, but they were playing win in OT right up until the last seconds. UVa was holding on by a thread, albeit good for 90 minutes. Usually the underdog loves PKs.....Not us....Well, not until the result was in....Aggressive Hoya soccer to the end.

National Champs! Congrats to the team! And while it went to PKs... the team deserved it. They were better than UVA on the day.

Well deserved! Georgetown was the best team in the nation this year and it was fitting they took home the trophy! So proud of our boys!

Someone get some XXL's and have the basketball team wear them in warmups Tuesday. I hope they wait for a big game when everyone is town to bring out the team at half time to honor them.

Many of the hoopsters had shouted out their support. Good to see.

Many of the hoopsters had shouted out their support. Good to see. Definitely. Mac mentioned them in a post interview after Cuse and Jagan retweets Hoya soccer regularly. That's how it's meant to be. It's probably what I've missed most in my years after college is that sense of community. I'm happy to see those still in that situation enjoying it. It's a unique experience that is nearly impossible to replicate. Here's to hoping that the soccer team shows up at some BB home games and brings the hardware!

I found it a bit interesting that the Coach’s strategy was analogous to Ewing’s original strategy of having a lot of talented players involved. Last night the Hoyas had key contributions throughout the roster including the bench.

Last night the Hoyas had key contributions throughout the roster including the bench. That is because of the depth of this team. Coach Wiese is an extraordinary asset to this team and has created a powerhouse program that could potentially dominate the Big East for years.

The rules in college soccer are also messed up cause you have unlimited substitutions and each player gets one re-entry into the game. Coach is taking full advantage of the flaws in these rules. In the premier league you only get 3 subs a game and once a guy subs out he cannot come back into the game.
