Although we lost to UVA 3-0 in our season opener I thought we played them well. Two of the UVA scores came on really outstanding shots by their Tchani. We should be quite competitive. Congratulations to the men. And a special congratulations to Justin Baarts, who stepped in to what surely was a high pressure situation for him.

Tremendous job by the men today and clutch performance by Baarts in goal. Does anyone know if he had been planning on redshirting this year? Would this action effectively burn his redshirt?

great to see Michael N. playing again, he was very active in the 2nd half

I don't know what his plans were, but this burns his redshirt.

Looking at the bracket, that win sets up a re-match with Virginia. That will be a rough one, but, we're playing well!

I can't remember another time, when I was as excited about 4 different Pilot sports men's/women's soccer, basketball, and X-Country. Pretty sweet.

When you look at the records of the mens' teams this year in the tourney, there really seems to be a lot of parity after Akron. The only thing separating some 14-16 win teams is RPI; the records are similar and there are less 20+ win teams than on the women's side.

congrats to the pilot men!! have to admit, while i use to attend both the men an women's games, i havent been to a men's game in probably three years.

gooooooooooo pilots!!!

it's so great to see our Men's team rallying to the college cup just like our Women's team. This is shaping up to be one heck of a fall sports season, what with cross country and both basketball teams doing well!

Good Luck Men vs. UVA, let's keep this going!!!!!

Here's a report from the NC State website on the game.

It could have been written for the UP website.

If I'm reading the NCAA bracket-website correctly, Portland is the only team reamaining in the tournament who has played two road games.

And who's the last WCC team standing?
