Wake Forest won 1-0 in OT. 

No, it was on PKs. Wake got a red card in the first half, but UVa still played for a 0-0 tie. Really dumb idea. They finish #9 in RPI (since the game is officially a draw for RPI purposes), whereas a win would have put them at #7 (ahead of Akron), and a loss at something like #12. They game-planned their way out of a top-8 seed.

 

Wisconsin also won on PKs. Indiana officially still undefeated.

The play-for-PK tactic makes sense if (1) you are the weaker team, and (2) a win on PKs is as good as a regular-time or OT win. Neither was true today for UVa. They had a man advantage, and a PK win went into the record as a tie.
