#2 Wash U 2, #19 Carnegie Mellon 0 in the 56th minute.

I noticed the technical difficulties message on the video stream for a few minutes. 

Then I think we both saw the same thing .. I think the Flo$port$ platform has a problem probably with the volume across their platform.??

WashU has scored their 3rd goal of the match, and it looks like WashU will defeat Carnegie Mellon today.

WashU's 3rd goal came in the 72nd minute on a goal from Heidi Fesler at the 71:44 mark, assist by Elia Koleno.

#2 WashU 3, #19 Carnegie Mellon 0 in the 74th minute.

Final from St. Louis--

#2 WashU 3, #19 Carnegie Mellon 0

WashU in first place in the UAA at 9 points, 2 points clear of Emory and UChicago

WashU now has a 39 game unbeaten streak going into next weekend's matches at Rochester on Friday and at Emory next Sunday.  WashU has a 21 game home unbeaten streak in games played at Francis Olympic Field in St. Louis.

Next weekend is ridiculously tough for Wash U.  On Friday they travel to Rochester, NY for a 7:30pm EDT game against #21 Rochester (who just beat #13 Brandeis); then, less then 40 hours later, they travel to Atlanta to take on #2 Emory (the game of the regular season in D3 women's soccer)!

This year, out of 18 regular season games, they will have only had 7 home games.

It is crazy, though I believe they fly to Rochester (via Atlanta) on Thursday. 

Other than having to play Emory on the road, the Bears are in the driver's seat.  Both Emory and Washington University have Rochester and Chicago on the schedule though the Eagles have to travel to Cleveland while the Bears get NYU at home.

[CentPA]

WUPHF, I agree, but I do think Wash U will need at least a tie in Atlanta to try and get back to #1 (barring any other losses by either team of course).  I would also say that Wash U has the tougher weekend next weekend (compared to Emory) because both their games on Friday and Sunday are on the road while Emory's games on Friday and Sunday are at home.

I meant for the UAA championship, but this is a Top 25 thread so you are correct.

Rochester is a good team, but they are not at the level of the other three so I am not sure I agree who has the tougher weekend ahead.

Tonight, #1 Emory (#2 in NPI-- 67.669) hosts NR Maryville (TN) (#143 in NPI-- 52.494).  Start time at 6 PM ET.

So Tufts, with a loss and a tie this past week, and Messiah, with a loss and win last week drop just one spot each to #4 and #5 respectively, and Chicago slots up from #5 to #3.  Was a little surprised that Case Western didn't stay with Chicago and move up to #4 and put Tufts and Messiah at #5 and #6 or maybe even a little bit lower (as I'm sure Pomona-Pitzer, MIT, and Washington & Lee would argue since they all won both their games last week).

It is interesting to see how the NPI and USC national polls compare (showing top 15):
