2017 PSU Field Hockey Thread

[UncleLar]

I've said it all year long, but Michigan, Maryland, and PSU are all Final Four material. Unfortunately, the ACC has three teams you could say the same thing about (Duke, Virginia, and North Carolina). Here's hoping the NCAA sets their brackets up so that we can get some ACC/B10 battles rather than having the schools face teams within their own conference.

Well I was right on two of the three - and I think I would have been right on all three if we had gotten someone other than UConn in the draw.

I love how the B10/ACC battles played out. Maryland beat Wake Forest and Duke. Michigan beat Syracuse. Northwestern beat Louisville. Just wish that we could have been matched up against UNC to make it a clean sweep.

I'm predicting that Michigan meets UConn in the National Championship game and hands the Huskies their first defeat this year.

8286, thanks for posting. For additional details:

UConn scored the 1st goal just 4:46 into the game on a deflected shot off a penalty corner. UConn scored the 2nd goal of the game at the 17:58 mark on a redirection, to take a 2-0 lead. PSU called a TO. PSU scored at the 25:21 minute mark to get on the board, 2-1. They scored again at the 31:31 mark, on a penalty corner, to make the score 2-2. That was the score at halftime.

UConn again started strong in the 2nd half. They scored at the 46:05 mark, and again at the 51:06 mark, to take a 4-2 lead. PSU rallied with a score at the 51:06 mark to make it 4-3. @ 2 minutes later, PSU appeared to get another score to tie up the game. Unfortunately, after video review the goal was waved off. Over the remaining 17 minutes\ PSU had several chances, but they could not score the equalizer.

UConn was seeded # 1, and had not lost a game all season. PSU put a great battle, but came up short of advancing to the Final Four.

Rats!
