Old Dominion, probably still high off their win over UVA on Friday, was unable to keep their buzz going as they traveled to Penn State yesterday. A 4-1 loss on the road was probably expected for a team that barely made it into the tournament to begin with, having missed out on the CAA playoffs at 5th on the table. They legitimized their at-large bid for sure with the shocking 1-0 victory over UVA, but were brought right back down to earth when The Nittany Lions had there way with the Monarchs in the second round.
William & Mary legitimized their automatic bid and first round bye by knocking off a tough UMBC side. While not nearly as convincing as the last game the tribe played, the 4-0 win over Hofstra in the CAA final, a 0-0 (4-3 on PKs) was good enough to see them through to the sweet sixteen. Now the only remaining CAA team in the big dance, William & Mary will recover and get ready to tango with Southern Methodist in Dallas next Sunday. Or maybe its the Cotton Eyed Joe, I don't think they tango in Dallas...
