Men's soccer win BE Tournament

[Newsdreams]

Beat Providence 3-2. Conference and Tournament Champs! 

[jsglow]

Outstanding.

[Brewtown Andy]

Adam Lysak with three goals in three games at PPL Park over the last two years.

[MUfan12]

Men's team was the overall #9 seed in the NCAA tourney, so they get a bye.

No favors with the draw, though. They'll host the winner of Akron (2010 Champions) and Indiana (Defending National Champs).

Here it comes....

Here it comes....

If only we had a proper soccer stadium in which to play Indiana.

How's that?

Heard the funding was only $100,000 short.

[The Lens]

National Champ game scheduled for Philly in mid-Dec.  Who set that up?  Goodell?

Heard former Marquette coach Steve Adlard sent his kid to play at IU a few years back....seems like all the former MU coaches are saying no.

Indiana's 8-11-2. Got in by winning the Big Ten tournament, and needed penalty kicks in the semifinals to do it, too.

But did he promise to send his kid to MU before going back on his word?

Even a congratulatory thread for a non-basketball sport can be turned into something about Tom Crean

Congrats to our men. Excellent news. Hopefully they will be raising a final four banner over valley fields soon.

Nice to see that one a freshman who attended my son's high school scored one of the goals.  He didn't get to play too much this year, so it's nice to see that he made good use of his limited minutes in the BEast Final.  My son and his younger brother are HS teammates and friends.

Go Warriors!  Marquette and Walsh Jesuit!

Did I miss something...was a new stadium built?  I read the donation was contingent on a new $5 million stadium.  Maybe it has, I'm just asking.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Super bar.

[Newsdreams]

Super bar.

But it is turning into a TC debate, so it is now officially about MU hoops

Actually, the multi-year construction was just completed. Locker rooms, new turf, permanent stands with stadium seats, new press box. Oh, and Buzz inked Jamil.

That's why I'm asking, the articles said "new stadium", but I suspect it was actually a refurbishment \ upgrade of what was there...correct?

Completely torn down and rebuilt, from turf to stands. Locker rooms never existed as such.

Thank you

[Blackhat]

This was the original idea for the soccer stadium.   Was this built?   

[4everwarriors]

Sure was, but not completed 'cause lacked $100k in funds.

They did a nice job on the soccer stands. Complex is very nice and school should be proud of it. Thought it was funny but last Friday night during women's game I heard a Western Michigan fan say he could not believe the bathrooms were heated. We must be living large at Valley Fields.

Top Drawer Soccer says Indiana-Akron winner gets 'A trip to one of the best burger joints in the country in Sobelman's Pub & Grill (plus a game against Marquette) in the next round.)'

Are the locker rooms also for lacrosse or just soccer?
