Indiana Hoosiers

[Z.I.P.]

W. VA women playing UCLA in the snow in Morgantown now.  Bloomington perfect in comparison.

IU scores.  Zips sleepwalking.

[Z.I.P.]

Ben made one nice save, but defense slipped up on CK.

Both teams look frozen.

that's a wrap

When you do not get a top 16 seed, it makes it tough!!!!!

[fknbuflobo]

Very rarely does a non seeded team advance to Thanksgiving.

Not good enough.....I am not sure about the substitutions 

[LZIp]

great.

[Z.I.P.]

We played the opponent even on their (dirt) pitch.  The season is disappointing, but we should be proud of how it finished.  Fought hard on the road.  Next year is a must-advance season, but don't expect so much drama -- or injuries!  

[fknbuflobo]

Zips still have never won in Bloomington

[wimbledonfc]

Obviously not the result we wanted but positives from the game   started very well and should of had a penalty and hit the post during the 1st half.  once IU scored (off an Akron mistake), was hard to break them down.  the team has a bright future.  I'm calling g a 2nd star within 2 years

Disappointing result but at least we weren't the number one seed and got ousted by Providence. Wow.

Giving up 4 goals in 13 minutes after leading 4-1...MAJOR collapse.

For anyone still following the Mens Tournament, there is another Akron connection besides Phil Fives at Indiana...
