NCAA Soccer Fall Madness, Round 2...

Well folks, last week we saw the bubble teams play each other to win the honor of playing bigger more successful teams that were seeded for the big dance. Tomorrow, Wednesday November 15, we'll see the winners of those battles face off against the top 16 teams in college soccer. #1 Duke hosts Ivy League's Brown. #2 Wake hosts Hofstra. #3 SMU hosts UC-Santa Barbara. #4 UVA hosts Patriot League Bucknell. Just like the basketball version of this tourney, I don't expect any big upsets although UCSB has been a top program in the past and could cause waves.

Looking back at the games I highlighted we saw New Mexico sneak by San Francisco to face Cal, Washington knocked out Creighton to face Santa Clara and UNC-Greensboro took down Virginia Tech to move on against West Virginia. All three of those second round games should be exciting if you're in the area.

Once again it doesn't look like it'll be easy to see any of these games on TV. However, check the ACC website, they may have their matches on-line.

By Thursday we'll know our Sweet 16 match-ups and they'll be played over this coming weekend. All the excitement comes to a head the first weekend of December!
