[Roach]

Facing Wake for the second time in 15 days.
I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing (we beat them 3-0 last time).

[Charleston Pony]

Nil nil with Wake at the half. Game has been played too much on our defensive side of the field.

SMU leading 2-1 with 11 mins to play

Going to OT at 2-2

Still tied after 2 OTs. Going to penalty kicks

Tough loss

[Mustangs_Maroons]

Was able to catch a bit of the game. To lose after being up 2-0 will sting. Hope the team still makes the tournament.

Hate to call out a player but 12 seemed out of his depth.

[PonyPride]

Technically not a loss. The game is recorded as a 2-2 draw, with Wake Forest advancing on PKs.

But yes, tough way to bow out of the conference tournament. On the other hand, the Mustangs very likely are in the NCAA tournament and really banged up — having two weeks to get healthy might end up being a good thing.
