It looks like ESPN+ still has the broadcast rights to the early rounds of the tournament, as the ODU game is already on the schedule for Saturday.

Great goal by Winstanley, and Augur did a great job of finding the ball in the opening 45 (and having the ball find her). I loved Dave's halftime interview on the broadcast-they asked him about the goal, and he said that was the only bit of soccer that was played in the first half.

No kidding. Broncos didn't seriously threaten the Hoyas goal for most of the second half, then scored a pair of goals 34 seconds apart in 79' to tie the game. Murrell thankfully restored order with a shot nicely placed in the upper right corner from about 15 yards out two minutes later, and 3-2 was where we finished. On to the Cardinal Sunday, where very bad minutes will likely prove more costly.

Halftime, Hoyas up 2-0. Murrell had the second in 19' after the Broncos had a When Playing It Out Of The Back Goes Wrong moment. Santa Clara's most/only real dangerous change of the half came when the Hoyas had a WPIOOTBGW moment of their own, but put the shot over the bar. Field tilt was pretty lopsided for the first 25 minutes or so, but the Hoyas had to do some actual defending in the second quarter of the game.

Broncos took the opening kickoff on a slightly delayed start, tried to play a long ball, and Hoyas went from top of the box to Linhares beating two defenders on a long ball and then finishing past the keeper a whole 13 seconds into the season. Hoyas up 1-0, now in the 6th minute.

Just couldn't get a shot on frame from all the close chances. Four or five headers all over the bar, plus the late chance with Panayotou and Sargeant. Humbug.

10 minutes done, Tulsa still up 1-0. Hoyas have 10 minutes to find at least one to extend their season.

I thought for sure we'd lose that game with Tulsa's taking control of that game when we got caught with a lineup that just wasn't working. Fortunately, we survived it and did better the last 9-10 minutes after the changes. 20 minutes to thrill, agony, or penalty kicks (no golden goal anymore).

0-0 at the half. Very even game. Hoyas need to get more shots on frame. Yeah, this is way too stressful.

Pitt wins, 2-1. Panthers did a good job of not letting the Hoyas have any prime chances from the run of play. A couple outside the box shots came close but didn't find the corners, and the rare set pieces didn't generate anything either. Oh well. Congrats, ladies, on another Big East double and the NCAA win.

Halftime, down 2-1. Pitt took the lead, Manning equalized on a "that looks like a cross, but then it goes in", and then Pitt took the lead about 2 minutes later off a corner kick. Hoyas goal for the second half is probably to do a better job in the center of the field, which the Panthers have mostly controlled so far.

Great strike by Murrell puts Hoyas up 2-0 in the 70th. Hoyas in great position to go to Tulsa for Saturday night.

Halftime, down 1-0. It's been a bit back and forth so far, with Georgetown working to break down the defense and Creighton having some opportunities on the counter. Hoyas did actually put one past the 24-year-old keeper Kruse, but it was correctly ruled offside.

1-0, Hoyas win. Nervy final 75 seconds, with Hofstra free kick from a dangerous position punched away by Augur and then a subsequent cross going past the Pride attackers. On to the next round, against Pitt or Buffalo (that game being played tonight at 7 ET).

Hoyas lead 1-0, 23:39 to play. Started with a great pass from Augur to an open Means by midfield, then Means with a good run down the right side into the box, beating a couple Pride defenders, and crossing to an open Harwood for the goal.

Halftime, still 0-0. Leas did a fantastic job of emergency defending with a couple minutes left to prevent a 1vAugur situation. Hoyas hit the crossbar on a header by Means off a corner and Leas header early, but neither team has generated a good shot in the box. Leas did have a shot outside the box that Hofstra keeper spilled, but nobody was around for the finish.

ESPN+ stream actually working this year, unlike last year's opening round. 0-0 with 41:20 to play in the first half.
