Re: Rhody soccer

great season.
The two goals UConn had to tie it up were very questionable. Esp. the one that tied it,
I hope they introduce the team and showoff the A-10 banner at one of our big basketball games where we have a full house. The team deserves it.

Re: Rhody soccer

Great job by a very unappreciated URI team. Should enter the tournament with a home game and a RPI of under 15. That is D1 soccer not a sub division. Maybe they should get the new stadium with a track around it so we can watch our top teams . :lol:
