Wheaton's must have been the slide tackle and NP was the take down just outside the box.

Surprised by no commentary tonight?

I didn't even to think to count NP's players.  When these teams lose players?

55th for Wheaton 74 for NP.

I didn't see the Wheaton red.  2nd yellow for NP.
According to Live Stats, the Wheaton player had a yellow card at ~55m and then another foul about 15 second later and was issued a red card.

All tied up after two OT's.

Penalty kicks - so much pressure.

Not sure the live stats will update the Pks, any chance you gentlemen could keep me up to speed?

I switched to the video feed and it looks like Wheaton won on PKs.

Wheaton wins 5-3 on Penalties. The Wheaton keeper made one save on NP's third shot and Wheaton made all 5 shooting first.

I don't think NP has ever won on Pks.

What do we think?  Is that the season for NP?  Or will they sneak in with a pool C in a weak Midwest region?

The Golz bros. spoil again in 11th hour theatrics...  I believe that makes 3 NP v WC games in a row that a Golz (different one each time) has scored with less than 5 minutes remaining.   >:(

I have to believe a pool C bid is likely considering their losses against strong teams.

How many Pool C bids are there for the Midwest?

If I had to guess, an 11-5-3 record is probably not good enough. Two questionable losses to Alma and Olivet and a draw with Concordia Wisconsin on top of a 3-0 loss to Loras puts them on the bubble. We'll see though..

There is no set number of Pool C bids per region.

I think NPU is definitely on the bubble. Likely they needed a strong showing in the CCIW playoffs to be awarded a Pool C. But you never know...

The game tonight vs Wheaton officially went down as a tie (PK's were because of conference tournament).  So, North Park has a one goal loss and a tie against the #1 team in the region in their last two games.  Yes, they did have a couple bad losses but they were early in the season.  It would be a shame for them not to make the tournament.  They won their first round NCAA Tournament game handily last year (4-1 vs Wash U) and gave Loras all that they could handle in a 0-1 game in the second round with essentially the same team.  They may be on the bubble but I think they should get in.  We will see....... Jonas Peterson is probably the most dangerous player I've seen in the last couple years.

Don't get me wrong, NPU has a nice program/team.

Overall Record: 11-5-3
Most Recent NCAA Rank: 2
SOS: .592

NPU at a Glance, actually looks to be in good shape... strong SOS, etc.

But when you look a little closer, I'm actually a bit surprised they are ranked as high as they are currently by the NCAA.They were the CCIW #4 seed. They tied and lost to the #2 (Elmhurst) & #3 (Carthage) CCIW teams, respectively. Yet NPU is ranked higher than both by the NCAA.

Just goes to show how important SOS is in the ranking/selection process for the NCAA.

It actually looks like NPU is missing a signature win...I guess you could consider the 3-0 result against Dominican a strong one, but DU is kind of having a down year, by their typical standards and aren't even ranked by the NCAA.

As long as a good majority of the AQ "Favorites" actually win their AQ's, NPU may actually be in better shape than I initially thought....
