I love that we got in so many subs in. 21 different players played (18 of whom played more than 20 minutes). Great that our starters got that rest with the short turnaround (and risk of injury on the slippery field).

I think Irvine has a good chance against Nebraska, who won because unseeded Tennessee's GK slipped making a kick.  If we take care of business on Sunday it'll be a rematch from earlier this year for a trip to the College Cup.  That Irvine game was tough, but we are also finishing much better now and everyone's settled into their positions. 

Also of note, our 6-goal scoring margin thus far is tied for 2nd among teams that have made the 3rd round.

1) #2 Seed Penn State 9 (7 of their goals were scored in their shutout vs Massey #188 Central Ct. St. in round 1)
2T) #2 Seed Stanford 6 (we have played Massey #35 Pepperdine and Massey #29 South Carolina)
2T) #1 Seed Florida State 6 (5 of their goals were scored in their shutout vs Massey #221 Morehead St. in round 1)

I wouldn't want to play against Stanford right now.  Go Cardinal!

North Carolina, as a 3 seed, is still alive and well in BYU's bracket and has outscored its opponents 4-1.  I wouldn't be surprised if the College Cup ended up with those 4 bluebloods (Penn State, Stanford, Florida State and North Carolina).
