HAWKS NIPPED IN OT THRILLER

11/6/10

Although giving a terrific effort on Friday 11/5 in the GLVC semi-final match with the Greyhounds of Indianapolis the Soccer Hawks fell 1-0 on a goal coming 8 minutes into overtime. The victory for Indianapolis puts them into the GLVC title game on Sunday 11/7 against the #2 seed NKU who defeated the Miners of Missouri S & T 2-1 in overtime also.This was the second time this season that the Hounds nipped the Hawks in overtime.

Friday's Hawk-Hound match was pretty much a carbon copy of the earlier one played on October 8th. The statistics for both matches were fairly equal with both teams having just a few opportunities to score during regulation. Both matches were fiercely contested yet cleanly played by two fine soccer teams. Everyone watching yesterday's match was rewarded with a truly top quality performance by both teams.

Had the Hawks won yesterday they probably would have snatched for sure a bid to the NCAA National Tournament. However, the loss puts QU "on the bubble" and they will have to wait until Monday evening 11/8 to see whether or not a bid materializes.
Information on that will be sent out as soon as it has been made official.
