Ducks survive, 4-1 on PKs.  2 saves by Cross and made unreachable by Stevens' 4th shooting first.
Seen a lot of miraculous Stevens escapes to a result in my day, but this might have been the iffiest one.

Rowan just hit the crossbar.

...

One of two massive opportunities squandered.  Also had a 2 on 1 where they sent a fairly tame shot right at the keeper.

There have been I believe 4 bar hits now in this game, 2 a side.

Mega controversy in Hoboken.  Stevens shot from near the top of the box rolled on the deck all the way through, hit the left post and rolled across the entire face of the goal line off the right post.
It was smothered by Rowan's keeper but the refs awarded it a goal.

No way to tell from the online feed angle, but it's now 1-1 with 6' to play.

Just... maybe there was enough spin for it to hit over the line and spin to the goalie like that... Seems mighty unlikely.

Think it's possible that there was just enough of an arc off the inside of the post that somewhere along the path from left to right post it was fully past the line, but I'm inclined to agree and doubt it.

So I give Stevens a decent chance, but also think the opportunity to get to a final 4 is sitting right there for F&M, Cortland, JHU, JCU, Rowan, and I guess CNU.

So you're saying the Final 4 is sitting right there for 7 of the 8 teams?  That's quite the observation ;D

I did start out by saying "Tremendous opportunity for almost the entire Stevens quad...."

Was about chances, not predictions....and that 7 doesn't include my (and many others') prediction of Midd.

A slew of good to very good teams but imo no great ones.

Yep, it's why I thought this was the second hardest region. Lots of parity, but a higher level.

Didn't like this draw from the jump myself as a Stevens fan.  Theoretical #1 seed in the region getting a #20 Nationally Ranked team AND a #2 Regionally-Ranked team in the opening weekend felt like the committee really didn't think too highly of Region IV this year.  Doubly so with the Montclair leave-out. 

If you come out of a weekend like this you're battle-hardened, but it's not what you want to see with the ranking.
