ND Men's Soccer Team to the National Championship

[military_irish]

Congrats and brig the ship home

 

[Cali_domer]

YEAH!!! Dumb question was this year a strong year for us? Are is this a shock ?
Edit- I didn't realize we had this good of a year. 16-1-6 record ain't shabby.

 

[military_irish]

I may be wrong but I thought at one point they were #1

 

[notredomer23]

This year's squad is very strong. Were at one point number 1 in the country and have been stellar throughout the year. They have legit MLS talent on it and even a kid who could play in Europe in Harrison Shipp or maybe even Patrick Hodan. Fun to watch.

 

[RuntheBall]

Besides football, probably the best sport event on campus!

EDIT: WOMENS VOLLEYBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[military_irish]

National Championship game is today at 3:00pm ET on ESPNU.

Opponent will be Maryland

 

[IrishLax]

Going to be a very even game. Probably a coin flip chance of bringing home a championship today.

 

[RuntheBall]

Up 2-1 in the 60th minute.
40' Goal by Brown (assists by Besler and Mishu) to tie the game at 1.
60' Goal by O'Malley (assist by Shipp)

Wrong football, God.

But good to know you're listening

It's probably our fault. I mean, where his son grew up, they do refer to it as football The Lord works in mysterious ways

 

[Ndsoccerguy]

Great team!

Great team!

Really enjoyed watching this GREAT team play on Friday and Sunday. They played with such passion, skill, determination and confidence. And such an attractive style: possession-oriented and intelligent attack. Very, very proud of them! Go Irish!!!

 

[notredomer23]

The ND Soccer Program(Men and Women's) overall has to be top 5 in the country. The women have been there for 2 decades and it seems as if the men have arrived

 

[tadman95]

Congratulations!!

 

[Irish#1]

Way to go gents. Good to see the sign lit up.

NCAA Soccer Champs
Mens BB beats the Hoosiers
Sykes commits
Hill commits.

Good weekend to be Irish!

 

[RDU Irish]

Congrats to the team. All I can say after watching the end of the game, I am pretty content waiting for another ND soccer championship before I watch more soccer.

Why is there not a single person in the stands? It is like they weren't playing in front of anyone.

The NCAA and the Philadelphia Union did a absolutely horrible job advertising it. I live a half hour from the stadium and I didn't even know the Finals were in Philly until Thursday.

 

[gkIrish]

Very happy for the guys. Love when Grace Hall is lit up.

I had no idea they were here. Like at all. Wow I definitely would have tried to make it, especially since I just got done taking finals in the city on Friday.

 

[NDPhilly]

Was gonna go but... the Eagles were on at 1(Which ended up being a total waste of time). That probably added to the low attendance as well.

 

[ACamp1900]

The last five minutes were crazy nerve raking, I am pretty tired of watching ND getting to title games and losing ( soccer, football, hockey, basketball)... So great to finally seem them come through on one...

Up 2-1 in the 60th minute.

Matt Besler's brother?
