Upset for the Ages

In Case You Missed It
CHARLOTTESVILLE – In a game that will go down in Washington State soccer history the Cougars (14-6-1) upset the No. 1 seeded Virginia Cavaliers (17-2-3), 3-2, to advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. For the Cougs, the win marked the biggest upset in program history considering the stage and the team as the Cavaliers entered the game ranked No. 3 in the country having lost just once in 21 games prior to Friday night in Charlottesville. Despite the stacked odds and the monumental task in front of them, the Cougs took it to the home Cavaliers from the start, using their speed and athleticism to get behind the vaunted Virginia defense.
