The UConn women's soccer team beat New Hampshire 2-0 at Morrone Stadium to advance to the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney. The Huskies got 2nd half goals from Sam Maguire and Danielle Gottwik. For the 2nd round they travel to face Penn State, probably next Friday.

Dropped the proverbial close one:

UConnWSOC9:23pm via TweetDeck
FINAL: No. 8 Penn State 1, #UConn 0. The Huskies end 2014 with a 14-5-5 record and a trip to the second round in their 29th NCAA Tournament.

PSU scored 7 minutes in and that was it.

Overall a good year for the women's soccer team. They got unlucky in having to face a very good Penn State team in the second round.

The first effects of the AAC on our athletic programs is being felt in soccer. Men's soccer was unseeded as a top 10 team last year and failed to get in as a regular season champion this year. UConn women's soccer reward for winning the AAC tournament was a 2nd round game with a 2 seed.

The soccer programs will never every cent of the money from Rizza to compensate for the anchor known as the AAC.

I've read of a number of complaints on how the selection committee for the women's tourney matched up the field, where uncommonly strong teams were matched together in the first round, while in other cases weaker teams like Harvard and Central Connecticut faced each other in opening round games. To check an analysis on the weirdness and of the first round match ups and beyond, check out www.allwhitekit.com.

And this year, the American only got 1 team (Tulsa) into the Tournament. Not good. Not saying UConn deserved an entry 9they did not); but, I thought USF my have done enough to get in. The American women did get 3 invites with UConn getting tot he second round and UCF advancing to the 3rd (so far).
