When Philadelphia native Nyk Sessock decided to transfer to Indiana last winter, he did so with an eye on playing for a program that would help him continue his development for the next level and give him a chance to be playing on the final weekend of the college season.
What he didn’t realize at the time was that the final weekend wouldn’t be until mid-May 2021 and that his former team would be the one standing in the way of a 16th trip for the Hoosiers to the College Cup final.
“To know that we’ll be playing in the last game this season, no matter what the result, is a really good feeling,” Sessock said in a phone interview on Saturday, a day after the Hoosiers beat Pitt 1-0 to advance to the final.
