Here's hoping the Eagles do a bit better than last season as far as the tournament is concerned. I keep hoping that they will move the home games from Newton to a new field in Brighton. Getting on the bus to go down there for the rare game was no fun and will keep us from being a perennial power like UVA or Duke.
Chicago: After all the money they put into the soccer field a few years ago (as well as the fight with Newton over the lights), I doubt they're moving the soccer field anytime soon. It is a shame, though.
I'm in grad school at Creighton right now and the contrast is ridiculous. The Jays have a gorgeous, European-style soccer stadium which is a big part of why they have better attendance for soccer games (regularly around 5,000) than any other school in the country. Of course, Creighton football is also undefeated - hasn't played - since 1942, so that helps soccer attendance, too.
GO EAGLES! on to round 2.
ReplyDeleteA funny thing happens when I read about soccer: I get an overwhelming desire to drop to the ground, grab my ankle, and fake-scream for no reason.

ReplyDeleteWith their win over Colgate they already have done better than last season :D
ReplyDeleteDartmouth is a good team but BC should theoretically be able to handle them on Tuesday night.
