The Washington State Cougars were bounced in the second round of the NCAA soccer tournament by the No. 1 seed Georgetown Hoyas on Friday, 1-0, bringing a season of crazy highs and lows to an end.
The Hoyas had not lost all season, and the Cougs did not go quietly. Georgetown scored in the 10th minute on a set piece off its first corner kick, leaving WSU to chase the game for the final 80 minutes. They chased it valiantly, racking up 10 corners to Georgetown’s seven, and the Cougars put four shots on goal without conceding again — goal keeper Rachel Thompson was credited with four saves.
