College Cup Game Thread: FSU vs. UNC (6 PM ET, ESPNU)

[ariya_massoudi]

The trilogy commences tonight from Cary, NC. The rubber match between the Noles and the Tar Heels. Should be a very heavy Carolina crowd, but Florida State will be well represented as well. Join us as we watch the game and updates will be posted below.

It's the College Cup site this year. Very similar to when the softball team goes to the WCWS in OU's backyard.

Noles have applied a ton of pressure on the Carolina defensive third. Haven’t been able to make it count for anything yet

 

[NoleLizards]

Subs in the final minutes of the first half completely changed the complexion of the game. 😟

A uncharacteristic defensive lapse caused the score. A failed clear.

UNC applying pressure the second period.
1-0 UNC with 34:00 in 2nd

This is like playing an away game, just minutes from UNC campus.

2-0

2-0 on penalty kick after a hand call penalty.
Been all UNC after the half. Dictating tempo.

Noles in trouble now. Down 2-0. Have seen this a few times this season where FSU doesn't quite do enough in the final third with all the possession they create. FSU was lucky to get a goal off a corner (own goal) against Arkansas in the QF and win 1-0. Paying the price tonight.

Really couldn’t state it any better. Truth. Sucks, but it is reality.

And as I type, wine and cheese goes up 3-0.

Bummer. Great season for the Noles. Showed heart to make it interesting. Lot of legends saying goodbye but FSU should have a great squad next season.

 

[NoleLizards]

Will be interesting to see if Pensky can continue to reload through the international pipeline.

 

[JerryKutz]

3-2 final. FSU challenging right to the end.
UNC scored 2 on penalty kick and a great header off the free kick.
