Georgetown wins soccer championship

[Bethlehemjohn]

3-3 at the end of regulation and both OT's and then won 7-6 in PK's!

It was a terrific game. Lots of action with both teams playing aggressively. I thought Georgetown was the better team, and was glad they won, but I hate deciding a game on PKs. I would rather they take 3 days off and come back and play another 90 minutes.

As an aside, I noticed the officials were very careful in making sure that neither goalie got off his line early on the PKs. It has gotten ridiculous in the European leagues with goalies cheating off the line.

Don’t follow the sport closely, but isn’t that just a Pitt thing to get matched up against an “underdog” national championship winner in an early round of a tournament?

Yea. Like WVU gets friggin Marshall in Round 2.

Georgetown was the best team I saw this year. I wasnt buying them because the Big East isn't a great soccer league and they had an L to Louisville so I thought they were overrated but they dominated Pitt like Luxbacher was still coaching. I mean it looked like Varsity vs JV. Like USMNT vs Brazil. When Pitt played UVa, Wake, and Clemson, the games did not feel that way at all. Those teams seemed better but there didn't seem to be that much of a gap. Georgetown just looked incredible.

But how much of an underdog was a team that was the third seeded team in the whole tournament? And they didn't even need to beat the second seed in the semis because Stanford beat Clemson.

They played the number one seed in the championship and would have been what, maybe a 55-45 underdog at most?

And the only reason they were seeded behind UVa and Clemson was because they didn't play as tough a schedule. They were most likely the best team this year, at least that I saw in my limited college soccer viewing.

They might have been, although I am not sure how winning the championship game on pks necessarily shows that. My guess is that if they played Virginia or Clemson ten times they win some, lose some, and tie some.

Wow - I didn't realize Georgetown was #3. Never mind then. I had no idea they had such a good soccer program - shows what I know.
