Title: 2023-24 Olympic Sports thread
Post by: ELA on October 22, 2023, 03:03:30 PM
Can't believe we didn't have this thread yet.

But Wisconsin upsets PSU in women's soccer, handing the Nittany Lions their first loss of the season, opening the door for MSU and Nebraska, who both won today, to share the conference title.

MSU going to have to pony up to keep their coach.  He was hired after the team went winless in 2020, and has now won back to back Big Ten titles in 2022 and 2023

HUSKERS CLAIM SECOND BIG TEN SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP

The #25 Nebraska soccer team claimed a share of the 2023 Big Ten Conference title, as the Huskers defeated Illinois by 4-2 decision to cap off an outstanding regular season. Finishing with a 7-1-2 record in league play, NU notches its fifth regular-season title in program history and 11th combined championship, which includes six conference tournament titles.

With a win tonight against a bad OSU team, MSU nearly locks up a double mens/womens Big Ten championship, but OSU completely dominated the first 20 minutes, and finally pushed one across.  A tie does nothing for MSU, so they are essentially down 2.  OSU, who is in 8th out of 9 Big Ten team, just here to play spoiler, and doing so

MSU ties it up, just to give up a 3rd goal and lose 3-2.

Shitty way to lose your first game of the season, with a Big Ten title on the line against a bottom feeder

And Indiana lost, so a win would have clinched a Big Ten title

Now we need Michigan to beat Northwestern, Wisconsin to beat Penn State, and Rutgers to tie or beat Indiana

The Iowa women’s soccer team pulled off a stunning upset in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament, beating top-seeded No. 12 Michigan State, 2-1, on Sunday in East Lansing, Michigan.

Iowa narrowly qualified for this year’s Big Ten tournament after finishing eighth in the conference. But seeds did not matter come game time, the Hawkeyes adjusting well after a disappointing 3-0 loss to the Spartans on Oct. 22.

On a seven-match conference winning streak, the No. 15 Nebraska soccer team (14-2-3, 7-1-2 Big Ten) continues its run for a Big Ten Tournament title this week against No. 12 Wisconsin (12-3-4, 7-2-1 Big Ten) at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio.

The second-seeded Huskers and third-seeded Badgers square off in the semifinal round on Thursday, starting at 4 p.m. (CT). The match will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

LOL, BTN actually showing a hockey doubleheader this weekend, but neither series is MSU-UW

So, the importance of coaching.  MSU and Wisconsin, who have been down for a minute, with new coaches, are playing this weekend in Madison with the Big Ten title on the line.  MSU holds a 2 point edge going into the weekend.

Naturally, BTN isn't airing it, only BTN+.  So bad camera angles, and the announcers will be two UW undergrads.

OSU, who previously only had 1 win in 20 games in Big Ten play, swept Wisconsin and split with Michigan State, to hurt these two's resumes, but the winner gets the #1 seed and bye in the conference tournament, and the inside track for the 4th #1 seed.

Couple of empty netter to give MSU a 5-2 win and a Big Ten Championship.

Oddly, the only team to never win a Big Ten title?  Michigan.  Minnesota has 6, every.other school except Michigan has 1. .UM has 0

Michigan and Minnesota sweep Notre Dame and Penn State to advance to the hockey semifinals, with MSU.

Wisconsin and OSU play a deciding Game 3 today to be the final team.

Still don't get why they don't also make the semis and championship a Best of 3, if they aren't going to play them on the same weekend

MSU beats OSU, Michigan beats Minnesota.

MSU hosts Michigan in the Big Ten title game.  That environment is going to be insane.

Granted last weekend and this weekend should also be best of 3, but whatever

Busy night in East Lansing.  Winning a pair of Big Ten postseason titles on home soil, in front of standing room only crowds, after already both sports regular season titles, even though basketball was playing a tourney game simultaneously.

WEST CHESTER, Penn. -- There's a national championship trophy coming back to Sioux City.

With a 5-2 victory over the East Islip (NY) Chiefs, the Sioux City Metros high school hockey team earned the USA Hockey Division II national championship on Sunday at Ice Line Arena in West Chester, Penn.


The sides were even at 2-2 heading into the third period before Karson Fitch scored what ultimately amounted to the game-winner.

Fitch scored on a Sioux City power play with 3 minutes, 46 seconds left in the final period and was assisted by Tegan Doelman.

Nathan Solma, the Metros' all-time leading scorer, added a goal less than 15 seconds later on a Grant Harder assist, and just for good measure, Fitch added an empty-netter on a Solma assist with just over a minute remaining.
