Hoyas denied what should have been their third PK of a match when WVU defender's hand knocks down a cross. Still 1-1, 7 minutes to play.

Second trip of Sands (who fortunately was able to return for the start of the second half) results in a PK, which Polvara buries. 1-1 game, 23:16 to play.

Down 1-0 at the half. Mountaineers goal off a good passing sequence in 16'. Hoyas have had good possession in the final third since the goal, really attacking well, but the Mountaineers pressure has been a problem and they've been blocking a bunch of shots (and fouling a bunch). Hoyas also should have been awarded a PK for a trip in the box on Will Sands. Hope to see Sands return for 2H after he was injured along the sidelines in the final minute of 1H.

Is this game televised or will it be behind another paywall? ESPN apparently has exclusive NCAA tournament rights, so Saturday's game will only be on the ESPN+ stream. The College Cup games, both semifinals and final, will be televised on ESPNU.

I couldn't see all of today's game because of the NFL, but the first 30 minutes or so seemed very cagey, with neither team able to establish a decisive territorial edge, and no legit shots. But after Polvara's goal put the Hoyas up front, we really seemed to take control of the game. Many times, if you see a 1-0 game, you see plenty of bunker from the leading team and the trailing team is able to dominate possession while the leading team just counters. From what I saw, that wasn't the case today-we used the opening goal to really take control of the game, at least in the second half.

2-0 F/T. Panthers had a couple chances late, but Giannis and defense kept the clean sheet. Next game at Shaw Field on Sunday at noon ET against the winner of the Providence-Marshall game later today.

Hegardt pass puts Riviere open in the box with no defenders near him, and he slots it home. Hoyas up 2-0, less than 8 minutes to play.

45 minutes, no goals. Shots are 10-1, and I think Georgia State's "shot" was a long free kick that made its way to Nikopolidis rather than serious attempt at goal. Hoyas dominated play and had the better of chances, with their two closest moments to scoring probably a ball into the 6' that Stojanovic couldn't finish and a 25-yard rocket from Polvara that went off the post.

Broncos win with a goal in 99', I believe. Quick pass to a player in the box, who beat a diving Augur to the other side.
Congrats on a terrific season, ladies, and tough break to run into a team as talented as Santa Clara in the second round.

90 minutes, remains 1-1. Santa Clara free kick with about 65 seconds left went off the inside of the post, so on we go.

1-1 at the half. Cummings header off a corner kick tied it after the Broncos' Turnbow put one in the upper right corner from the top of the box to open the scoring. The Hoyas' best chances have come off of set pieces, with Vicari putting one just wide on a designed play off a free kick. No surprise, the defending national champs are pretty good.

Great ball by Polvara in to Stojanovic, great finish for the winner. Hoya Saxa, and on to the NCAA tournament.

Scoreless at the half. Hoyas had the better of possession and a couple good chances, including by Stojanovic a minute into the game.

Santa Clara beats Stanford, 1-0, so they'll be our opponent the next round. Based on the box score, a cagey first half, with only 3 shots total (15 for the game).

Final whistle with the margin still 6-0, and on to the next round against the winner of Santa Clara-Stanford later today.

Leas with a cracker of her out from the top of the box, Fox off a through ball from Leas, Harwood knocks in a cross for her first career tally. 6-0 with 5 minutes and change to play. This is fun.

Livingston off a free kick, Cleverly with a cracker from the top of the box, and Leas slotting home a loose ball. Hoyas up 3-0, <20 to play.

45 minutes, no goals. Hoyas have had the better of the possession and the chances, but haven't found the right play in the final third, and didn't get the one PK they eh maybe probably should have.
