The road to NCAAs begins with a speedbump over some bulldogs in Rock Hill.

Go Flames!

Careful now Sly...you know that Soccer is a strange game...one bounce going the wrong way can be the difference sometimes

I'm very aware of the intricacies of the beautiful game. I'm just trying to get in a mindset of a championship run. I'll deal with the disappointment when it occurs and not a moment sooner.

Optimistic, aren't we Sly...

I'll deal with the disappointment when it occurs and not a moment sooner.

fixed

The Flames fell behind 1-0 in the 2nd half, but scored 2 goals down the stretch (82nd and 88th minute) to win 2-1 over UNCA.

Nice come-from-behind win today for the Flames to avoid the first round KO. They escaped the clutches of defeat with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes after falling behind 1-0.

talk about a scare. C'mon fellas! (I blame this on SLY)

No. 2 seed Liberty Rallies to Defeat No. 7 seed UNC Asheville, 2-1, in Big South Men’s Soccer Quarterfinals

November 15, 2007
Rock Hill, S.C.

The No. 2 seed Liberty Flames scored two unanswered goals in the final eight minutes of play to come back and defeat the No. 7 seed UNC Asheville Bulldogs, 2-1, in the second game of the 2007 Big South Men’s Soccer Championship Thursday at Eagle Field on the campus of Winthrop University

looks like they had the offsides trap working- either that or we were just sloppy (or looking ahead to 'throp, maybe?)

Liberty was whistled offsides six times in the game, while UNC Asheville was offside once

That's nothing...Winthrop had 11 offsides (to HPU's 1) in tonight's game...but WU's forwards are very aggressive...they always seem to have alot of offsides called on them.

yeah- good point.

If you know you're gonna get smoked by a better team- one thing you can do is constantly move up on them the minute the ball gets cleared- that way there's a pretty good chance you catch them off.

it is tournament soccer...happens all the time. this is the type of game we have usually lost. let's get winthrop tonight!!
