Game is about to start.
Hope the ladies continue the upsets
When the Ladies win they will advance to face #1 Duke.
Hokies are missing one of their stars who tore her ACL in the first round of the tournament. I missed the name.

Such a quiet environment, you could hear a car do a burn out somewhere outside the field
Damn Hokies just missed.
Iowa bangs one off crossbar after a corner. Hokies lucky it wasn't a little lower.
0-0 at the half. Iowa probably had the better of the attack but not much action from either side
In the other Sweet 16 matchups, FIVE other ACC teams advanced to the Elite Eight.
Notre Dame, Stanford, Wake Forest, UNC and Duke all advanced.
Iowa definitely getting the majority of the free kicks. They bring their goalie up to kick on most so she can send it to the box.
Iowa just subbed like half their lineup all at once
Lots of dives by the Hawkeyes...
Hokies have clearly controlled the first third of the 2nd half
Trainers have been on five times for Hawkeyes in second half already. Definitely seems like gamemanship to take away momentum
Iowa had a point blank chance and boinked it off post
Hokies had two chances in the box but no break
HOLY GOAL
Allie George with the Unreal angle from near the baseline and floats it over keeper
Hokies just miss on a second goal. Corner coming up.
Hokies WIN
6 of the elite 8 teams are from the ACC. Wild.
Also crazy stat is that apparently Iowa had only given up 12 goals all season
Hokies advance and return to the East Coast to face Duke in the Elite Eight
It will be at 6pm next Saturday in Raleigh. Who is going to watch the futbol team over the football team on Saturday?
TV probably doesn't interfere but in person will be a choice.
In Raleigh or Durham?
Either way I am dragging my entire family there whether they like it or not.
Last night the announcers said Raleigh. That said, the previous game they said the Hokies had moved to the Elite Eight when it was the Sweet 16. They looked like two College sophomores in the booth shots they showed.
Will update as I see an official post.
Durham.

Ahh we made it to the Elite 8, where we will need to likely beat the 4 ACC teams that were better than us all year. What a fucking gauntlet this conference is in this sport.
Go Hokies!!! Great win. What a shot!!
At least we have one team that knows how to win one score games.
A football team, even!
Six of the eight teams in the elite 8 are ACC teams. Tech didn't play Duke in regular season or ACC tournament.
We a...women's soccer school now?? FAM
The other Elite Eight Matchups
#4 Notre Dame at #3 Stanford
#2 Wake Forest at #1 USC
#4 Penn State at #2 UNC
ACC guaranteed 2 in Final Four, favored in one and Wake would need to upset USC to make it a clean sweep.
Hokies beat Notre Dame 2-0
Hokies lost to UNC 2-0 in ACC Tournament
Hokies have not faced Wake, Stanford or Duke this season.
