The 3 remaining 1 seeds all get through, by a combined score of 10-0.

We complained about our draw but the seeds have mostly held. Three 1-seeds and either a 2-seed or 4-seed will join them.

The #1 seeds have held easily because of the draws. Only Stanford had to face an elite team talent-wise in Penn State. Duke had a walk-through and SC only had to get by an already beaten Florida. UCLA should easily get by Princeton at home. It will be a good College Cup though. I expect a Stanford/Duke matchup.

Stanford vs South Carolina
Duke vs UCLA

Who's your champ now that the College Cup field is set?

I'm going with Stanford.

Stanford off to a good start, 2-0 with 17 to go in the first half. They had a great attack with 25 to go but never took a shot.

This seems like a terrible venue for this event. It's way too big, the crowd isn't in it at all, and the crowd was probably the only advantage S Carolina was going to have.

McCaskill didn't get a single shot this game. S Carolina only managed 1 shot on goal.

Pretty dominating performance by Stanford.

Stanford has become the premier women's program in the country. 7 College Cup appearances and 4 finals in the last 10 years. But it hasn't translated into titles.

This venue is better than the football stadium in Boca Raton 3 years ago. Looked at the ticket prices and an all session ticket is $43. Casual fan is not going to pay that. NCAA needs to decide if they want to expand the sport or not.

Ucla has had the best chances, but finishing is a real issue. Stanford is better than either duke or ucla.

UCLA controlled the match with beautiful possession but never seriously threatened in the final third. Duke's defense was excellent.

Going to be a great title game. The talent on the field is pretty incredible between Stanford and UCLA. Either team could win it, but Stanford has so much momentum right now. They took apart an elite South Carolina defense with ease.

A couple of big no calls. I think the handball by UCLA was just outside the box and then UCLA should have gotten a pk as the Stanford player did not touch the ball was she swept the UCLA player's right leg.

Really a high level title match. Great game and comeback by UCLA, only to be thwarted by a sensational winning goal by Stanford. I think this was the most talented title matchup in NCAA history. Just watching the technical skill on the ball, the passing, the decision making, the incredible midfield play, just amazing stuff from these two sides. It really shows how far A&M has to go to beat one of these teams for a title. South Carolina was throttled with ease by Stanford in the semifinal, and we're about even with SC this year. We really need to start recruiting at a higher level as well. We have nice teams with good talent, but if we want to win a title we're going to have to step it up on the recruiting trail, especially in our own state. Stanford had a few elite Texas kids playing in the game today.

Palo Alto is officially the center of the universe for NCAA men's and women's soccer.
