Achara went down with no one around him. Could hardly put weight on it. You hate to see that... Hopefully it isn't as bad as it looked. That does not sound like it will end well... too bad.

Nice to get a little help from the refs for a change. The penalty call looked to be about a foot outside the box, and the foul that resulted in the free kick for the second goal could have been ignored as incidental contact.
That said, we were the better team and would have found a way somehow. Fantastic 3peat men. Now let's take it all the way! Hoya Saxa!

The penalty call looked to be about a foot outside the box, and the foul that resulted in the free kick for the second goal could have been ignored as incidental contact. That said, we were the better team and would have found a way somehow. Fantastic 3peat men. Now let's take it all the way! Hoya Saxa! You read my mind. No consolation for the Friar faithful, of course - Provy's coach got himself a yellow card and then soon after a red several minutes after the game ended - but close calls and even errors are an inevitable part of the game. The PK was huge, but the momentum had definitely already shifted prior to that. Had the call been a free kick from just outside the box, I think there's a pretty good chance we would've scored from that set piece ayway. Color commentator/John Fanta wingman Jamie Watson (who kinda looks like a young Chris Mullen to me??) highlighted a crucial deciding factor in this game: Coach Wiese's decision to send out a very different attacking lineup to start the second than he had to open the contest: 1st Half: #0 NIKOPOLIDIS, Giannis #2 HOPE-GUND, Rio #4 O'HEARN, Sean #5 WU, Daniel #6 ZAWADZKI, Sean #7 MONTES, Jacob #12 NEALIS, Dylan #8 FISCHER, JB #9 DODSON, Derek #10 LOCHNER, Ethan #20 ACHARA 2nd Half: #0 NIKOPOLIDIS, Giannis #2 HOPE-GUND, Rio #4 O'HEARN, Sean #5 WU, Daniel #6 ZAWADZKI, Sean #7 MONTES, Jacob #12 NEALIS, Dylan #3 ROTHROCK, Paul #13 STRASSNER, Riley #17 POLVARA, Dante #14 SANDS, Will There's only so much a coach can do once the game has started, but controlling substitutions is the biggest one and at times can be the most impactful, especially in the college game. Wiese saw how the game was going and adjusted accordingly, even if it meant leaving more heralded players on the bench. Coach Ewing, take note... Anyway, now onto the tournament, where the Hoyas look to be one of the #1 seeds, with UVA likely holding the overall #1 - not that it really matters. They should have some company from the ranks of #BEFutbol - a very good sign indeed for the conference:

Just a great win today and a fun day at Shaw.
Hopefully Achara is okay. Coach and the boys invited Harry down on the field to celebrate and let him hold the trophy for a picture with the captains.
They are a really great bunch of young men poised for a big run.

So, uh, this is kinda weird... do we think this is the Big East/university administrators' attempt to smooth over the whole "there were serious errors in officiating and we had to sanction the losing team's coach for abusing the officials *after the game had ended* even though he kinda had a point" thing?? Never really seen anything like this...

Never really seen anything like this... I am not sure about his post game antics but Craig Stewart had a non-stop screed going against the officials for 90 minutes yesterday. Harry and I sat right on the half line and that guy never shut up. He had at least a yellow coming long before he blew up post game.
