Highlights from the quarters 🤩

Notre Dame's PK perfection 🤌 

The Fighting Irish delivered five PKs to outlast Indiana after 110 minutes of play and a Hoosier penalty hitting the post instead of the net. The lads advance to the College Cup for a third time after their last appearance in 2021.

Beavers make history in Tar Heel territory... 🤭

The unseeded Oregon State continues its outstanding tournament performance and earns its program's first berth in the Men's College Cup with a monumental win over UNC at Dorrance Stadium. This combination play between Dante Williams and Vicente Castro produced the history-making game-winner. 

Notre Dame Golazo over 5-man-wall 😮‍💨

The Fighting Irish go up 1-0 over Indiana in the 16th minute with this Messi-worthy freekick from senior Daniel Russo. 

🎶 Cue Country Roads 🎶

For the first time in program history, West Virginia has advanced to the national semifinals and will have a chance at claiming a national championship. The WVU players took a victory lap as the Mountaineer anthem played over the speakers and a packed home crowd sang along. 

Insane three goals in first 15 minutes of LMU vs. No. 5 West Virginia

Loyola Marymount (CA) was buzzing with energy as the first whistle was blown and managed a goal before the two minute mark. Senior Steven Anderson sprinted past a Mountaineer defender to get on the end of a deflected through ball and slot the ball in with his first touch. The unseeded Lions would not be ahead for long though. Not six minutes later, West Virginia's Luke McCormick scored a similar one touch finish off a threaded ball to level the score. In the fifteenth minute, the Mountaineers snatched the lead off a huge clearance from goalie Jackson Lee that bounced deep into LMU's half and into Sergio Ors Navarro's run.

Back to back PK shootouts 🥶

UNC advances

Tar Heels score a late equalizer to survive until PKs

Down 2-1 at the half after a backline gaffe gifted Hofstra a go-ahead goal, the Heels trailed until the 85th minute where forward Martin Vician netted the equalizer to keep the game alive. Locked in a standstill through both overtime periods, Vician's header was enough to send the game into a PK decider where a massive save from Andrew Cordes gave UNC the advantage they needed to outshoot Hofstra.

No. 2 Notre Dame shatters a scoreless match with perfect PK performance

After 110 minutes of scoreless snowy play, the Fighting Irish prevailed with five perfect PK shots and a huge save to end Western Michigan's enthralling run into the tournament.

Stanford knocks out No. 1 Marshall in huge 3-0 upset 🥊

Stanford men's soccer

The top-seeded Thundering Herd fell to No. 16 Stanford in a devastating 3-0 loss in front of a packed home crowd. In the first meeting between the two programs, the Cardinal managed only three shots on goal but netted each of them scoring one early in the match and two in the second half. Despite the low number of shots, Stanford was the better team today defending as a unit, capitalizing on counters and demonstrating expert ball movement in the attacking third. The three Cardinal goals came from different players but the second from junior Will Reilly is a testament to the team's concerted effort all match.

The monumental victory halts a historic season for the Herd that saw a 12-game win streak, a program high in shutouts and many career-high performances. With the victory, Stanford advances to the quarterfinals with a shot at making the 2023 College Cup in Louisville, KY as they take on the winner of No. 9 Clemson vs. No. 8 New Hampshire.

The Hoosiers dance on 🕺🕺

Hoosiers blank No. 7 Virginia with an early goal

Indiana lives to see another day. In their last first meeting since 2000, the Hoosiers netted a goal in the 11th minute to give them an edge against No. 7 Virginia ultimately toughing out a 1-0 victory. Freshman Collins Oduro surged into the six-yard box to get an inside of the foot tap-in off a cross from Maouloune Goumballe. 

6:40 pm, November 26, 2023

No. 1 Marshall down early 👀

One shot, one goal. No. 16 Stanford scores off their first shot of the game to take the lead over No. 1 Marshall in the fifteenth minute of the round-of-sixteen match.

2:56 am, November 26, 2023

Oregon State makes highest-scoring outing of the tournament 🤯

Lethal shooting by the Oregon State Beavers marked the most dominant game of the 2023 men's soccer tournament so far. Arnau Farnos opened the floodgates to equalize No. 6 SMU's early goal by sinking one in just outside of the box. Dante Williams and Logan Farrington were relentless against the Mustangs, each bagging two goals on a combined 13 shots. Vicente Castro and Ellis Spikner added to the fun with goals of their own — for both players, it was their fourth of the season — en route to a whopping 7-1 victory over No. 6 SMU.

Intense moments from the third round 🫣

Vermont closing the gap...and WVU's late game-winning response 🎯

No. 5 West Virginia scored in the first few minutes of the match only to head into the locker room tied one apiece. Surrounded by five West Virginia defenders, Catamount forward Carter Johnson found himself a window to send a left-footed rocket into the back of the net to equalize the match in the 31st minute. 

Despite several chances on both ends of the pitch, the second half remained at a standstill until a chaotic final ten minutes where the Mountaineers scored and defended a stellar game-winning header. Junior defender Max Broughton found himself in the perfect position to nod in just his second goal of the season and give the Mountaineers the go-ahead point to advance to the quarterfinals. The victory wouldn't have been possible though, without two massive saves from WVU goalie Jackson Lee to defend the lead in the last few minutes of play.

Second round highlights ✨

Vermont beats out No. 12 UCF in OT

Another seeded team is out of the tournament. This time, it was Vermont delivering the blow. After taking the lead in the first half and then again in the second, a late UCF goal sent the game into an unexpected overtime. The Catamounts wasted no time in breaking away with this third and final golazo.

Indiana scores OT stunner to topple No. 10 Wake Forest 🚨

After reaching a 2-2 stalemate at the end of regular time, the Patrick-Hugo connection struck for a second time. First in the 50th minute to equalize 1-1 and again to break away in OT, Patrick McDonald served Hugo Bacharach a ball into the Deacs' box to add a Hoosier point to the scoreboard. The second time around Bacharach flicked in the delivery with his back heel to score a stunning game-winner over No. 10 Wake Forest.

Indiana becomes the third squad today to knock out a seeded team and will be advancing to the round of sixteen for a ninth consecutive season.

Charlie Sharp downs No. 15 Duke in OT game-winner 🤩

Duke is out, Broncos move on! Western Michigan's nation-leading goal scorer Charlie Sharp delivered an insane game-winning header to take down the No. 15 Duke Blue Devils in the two programs' first-ever meeting. The game was locked at one a-piece at the end of regular time with the Broncos equalizing late in the second half. Sharp's OT header marks his 19th of the season and 7th game-winner. 

Virginia with the overtime BIKE 🚲

Two words. Leo Afonso. The senior delivered both goals for the Cavaliers' 2-1 OT win over Florida International and he did so in epic flipping fashion. Literally. He flipped his foot over his head to connect with the ball mid-air and boost the Hoos to the third round of the tournament. 

James Madison shuts out No. 4 Georgetown 😵

James Madison avenged an early regular season loss against the Hoyas and capitalized off a PK in the 39th minute to take down the Hoyas. The huge upset marks the Hoyas as the first seeded team to be knocked out of the tournament.

More wild moments from opening night 🤩

Memphis claims first NCAA Tournament win

Memphis gets its first NCAA tournament win in program history on a brace from captain, Lineker Rodrigues dos Santos
who's propeled the Tigers to a 2-1 win over the only undefeated team in the field, SIU Edwardsville. The two goals extend dos Santos's season total to 14 in the team's first back-to-back tournament appearance. 

The goal-fest award goes to Louisville vs. Dayton (4-3)🏅

Talk about a high-scoring thriller. Three-all at the half, a Louisville diving header to cap it off and four players earning their first goal of the season. Both teams racked up points in shameless fashion with Dayton's Logan Brown delivering this showstopper to level the score early on and earn his first goal of the season.

Louisville senior Bryce Lebel claimed his first of the season to give the Cards the equalizer before heading into the locker rooms at the half. It was Brandon McManus who gave Louisville the final lead early in the second period to solidify a spot in the second round against No. 5 seed West Virginia. 

Yale's last-minute game-winner— from the HALF

Yale earned its first NCAA tournament win since 1999 in the very last minutes of an otherwise scoreless match against Bryant. Junior Max Rogers launched this rocket of a shot from the half, catching the Bryant goalkeeper off his line and boosting the Bulldogs to victory. 

Denver's 3-minute turnaround 🤯

Moments lead to goals, lead to equalizers that lead to wins. It took Denver three minutes to turn the game on its head and beat Long Island 2-1 to earn a chance to face No. 6 seed SMU in the second round.

12:10 am, November 17, 2023

An unbelievable first half from the defending champs 🍊

Syracuse is BACK and the lads are using their heads. After going down 1-0 to Boston U. early in the match, the Orange turned around to deliver three header goals before the halftime whistle — two of them in the span of a minute. This set-piece set up sophomore Nicholas Kaloukian to nod in the equalizer and kick the defending champs in motion. 

Ten minutes later, it was Josh Belluz's head connecting with the ball to earn the go-ahead goal, and under a minute later, Kaloukian jumped for a second time giving Syracuse a 3-1 lead after a remarkable first-half turnaround. 

The Orange defended well in the second half sticking out the 3-1 lead to advance to the second round where they'll face No. 8 seed New Hampshire.
