UCONN WINS!!!

 

[DarthGrumpy]

UConn wins 5 to 4 in PK's. The curse is broken! Off to Virginia next, winner gets to go to Philly.

 

[Gurleyman]

[huskymedic]

Wow... What a recent run by all sports!!

 

[SAMCRO]

Wow! Great comeback and getting it done w/ PK's!! Bring on Virginia!

 

[ASweet3781]

I literally just want to grab a Big Ten or ACC suit right now and slap them for being so stupid!

 

[ASweet3781]

I've been hard on Reid and the team but I will gladly accept being wrong. They showed great toughness to win this one! I think winning that UMBC game in PK's may have been what this program needed mentally!

Andre motherfukcin' Blake!

Wow - that's the risk of trying high down the middle on a PK. If the keeper doesn't guess, you look foolish. Good job by Blake - whether it was a hunch or a good read - staying on his feet.

UCLA keeper almost had the one to make it 5-4 too. A little PK luck went our way for once.

Hey I'm on TV. Hi Mom.

Seriously, awesome game and an incredible one to be at. The crowd was fantastic all game but I can't say enough about the players and their toughness. On the road 3000 miles away. At the #1 team in the country. Going down 2-0, then 3-2, then twice in penalty kicks. Just incredible.

Don't know if that's hundreds on the field but send it to the ACC, too!

Being a collegiate keeper myself you can tell that Blake is incredible. The UCLA kicker should have realized that Andre Blake doesn't guess on PK's. He watches the player and reacts to the ball. Theres no wonder why he "guessed" right on every PK vs USF, UMBC, and had already against UCLA. Incredibly bad scouting by UCLA or the kid just made a bad mistake.

Keep rollin', Huskies!!!

I got talked into by the other rec coaches to sign-up for adult indoor soccer this winter. My first game is Wednesday and I have not played in 5 years. Any bet that I will be listening (hopefully watching) the UConn/UVA game Friday night from a hospital bed?

Same here, I will give credit where credit is due. Great job by the team and the staff to keep their heads in this game against tough odds (down 2 to 0 and then 3 to 2 after rallying at the #1 team in the country)! I hope they beat UVA on Friday because if they do, I am going to Philly for the finals.
