Quote from: upprdeckI get that it was ticky tack call. But no reason to be anywhere on the field in that spot to even give the ref a chance to make the call.
sure but give the kid a break. i'm stunned that the ref made the call in that spot. play is stopped and there was no taunting involved. he feels worse about it than you do.

he stepped over the line and hugged his teammate. it wasn't taunting. really titchy call by the ref.

Exactly. Technically correct but a stupid call given the context

Pitt lost at Penn and vs High Point.. Very winnable game.

they also spent most of the season first in the rpi. Soccer is just random sometimes but I do have hope for us.

We've shown we can go toe-to-toe with some really good teams, and our offense can put pressure on just about any opponent. Our weakness is defending set pieces, and if we can minimize exposure in that area, we have a reasonable chance.

I see Pitt is coming off consecutive 2-0 losses, to SU and UVA. While it may be wishful thinking, but maybe they've peaked and we're catching them at the right time?

As for the lineup without Lokko, perhaps Diakos gets more time at forward; he's been productive in relatively few minutes.

I thought Princeton had the easier draw.  Glad Cornell advances.

Akron is definitely better than fordham but princetons second round would have been much easier.

Stats show Princeton had two shots, none on goal, although I thought Akron's guy did stop one header in the final minutes.  Akron looked really solid.

Game day, this one feels winnable but Pitt is a really good team.

Carnevale hadn't impressed me. I'd like to see Laron's sub in for him soon to give us a bit of energy and allow Ka to move back to the midfield.

Pitt red card, absolutely the right call, that's massive for us.

clear card. ka got to the ball, pitt captain wipes him out after. maybe a yellow since he didn't spike him. call stands, though.
