The #14 seed Aggies will host the winner of the Louisville vs South Florida match on Sunday, November 24th at 1 pm. 1308 fans showed to see the Ags win the Big West Tournament and we need even more fans to come out for this huge game.
The #14 seed Aggies (13-4-2) will host the Louisville Cardinals (9-7-2) Sunday at 1 pm at the Aggie Soccer Field. Louisville soundly beat South Florida 4-1 in the first round to advance to the second round vs the Aggies who had a first round bye.
I watched the game. The Aggies dominated the entire game and outshot Louisville 18-5 before a huge and enthusiastic crowd that wasn't at all happy with the referee on quite a few ocassions.
The Ags were clearly a much better team in every aspect of the game but one of the few Louisville shots snuck in. The Ags scored a final second goal in the first half but the referee wiped it off by saying that time had expired which was questionable. No reviews in soccer. This is a tough loss for the Ags to swallow.
"Really tough being an Aggie sports fan right about now"
Another silver lining behind the dark cloud:
Men's water polo is the conference regular season AND tournament champ. Going back to the NCAA tournament for the third time in four seasons.
USF's basketball squad is looking pretty good. They'll be a really tough opponent next month. But it is good to see that the Dons are back after some disappointing years.
Our whole family went to the Chase Center a few weeks ago to watch the USF mens bball team beat Princeton. I couldn't talk anybody in to watching the womens game beforehand against Stanford. (Our tickets were for the double header.)
UCSB has made it to the Elite 8 in the NCAA Soccer Tournament after beating Indiana, a perennial soccer power, 1-0 in Bloomington, Indiana. They were not seeded in the tournament after losing to the Aggies 2-0 in the Big West Tournament and have beaten Cal 3-1 in the first round and St Mary's 4-0 in the second round before advancing to beat Indiana in the Sweet 16.
The Aggies and the Gauchos played to a 1-1 tie in the regular season before the Ags beat them in the BW Tournament. It's really too bad that the Ags lost to Louisville 1-0 in a game in which the dominated everything except the final score. The Ags and the Gauchos look like they are right up there with the best D1 soccer teams but it's the Gauchos that are still playing.
