I didn't see the game, but reading the media release is thrilling enough. That was not a rout, that was a beat down. Obviously V-Tech has had its struggles: their record is now 3-7-1, 1-2-1 ACC but everybody in this league always has at least a few good players, good coaches, etc. We just don't see blow-outs like this one. Matt Kassel, Casey Townsend, Paul Torres, Jason Herrick (2 goals), and Patrick Mullins all scored, plus an own-goal to make it seven.
Interesting quote last night, as I was watching the FSC's broadcast of Wofford vs. Davidson, and the commentator Keith Tabatznik, the former long-time Georgetown coach, announced the Maryland result and said "Maryland is going to be knocking on the door of Akron." I hope he is right because I watched Akron's demolition of Tulsa a couple of weeks ago and the Zips are for real - a bunch of big, fast, tough defenders, and a goal keeper that looks like he plays Aussie Rules Football. You just don't score on those guys. But I have to feel that if anybody can score on them it would be Maryland. In any case, after Akron beat Tulsa, they gave up a 2-2 draw to Ohio State, so anything can happen.
Meanwhile, trying to maintain good sportsmanship, I am tempted to send a large jar of Ibuprofen to Blacksburg.
