Half of the 2006 Men's College Cup Final is Set....

And 50% of the final won't be part of the ACC as Virgina was spanked by UCLA, 4-0. In the early going UVA looked to be the better team and had UCLA on their heals. But after a scoreless first half, UCLA's creative attackers poured it on and made UVA's solid defense look like swiss cheese. Freshman forward David Estrada's quickness and ball control allowed him to slice through the defense scoring the first two goals of the match within minutes of each other. Kyle Nakazawa and Chance Myers added the final nails in the coffin.

So another ACC falls out of the tournament and over in the second game unseeded Santa Barbara has held the #2 team in the land to a zero - zero tie into overtime. We could see a final without the ACC after a season in which college soccer couldn't stop praising the conference. I love what happens come tourney time.
