A little late to this thread so apologies if this has already been covered - but can anyone provide any intel as to why OSU is a quarterfinal venue? 100K+ seat stadium, not centrally located, doesn't make much sense to me...
That's an easy one as its all about the almighty dollar. Obviously, OSU offered up the Shoe at an extremely low price and the NCAA never passes up a bargain.

I thought it is always about improving the “game”, giving back, etc. In this case, helping stem the opioid problem in Ohio-tucky.

What will the predicted warm weather do to the games? Favor teams with depth who can platoon?

Looks like Columbus will be in the mid-60’s with a good chance of rain on Sunday. Hempstead will be high-70’s/low-80’s and partly cloudy on Saturday.
Sounds fairly pleasant for lax all around.

Hotter than the players are used to in Hempstead. Penn might have problems. Can Handley lay as much as usual in this warmer weather?

I think Handley should be ok, but I am concerned about the effects of the heat on Penn’s defensive midfield, where they have good frontline players but don’t go very deep.

Word out of Philly is that Lavelle is back from suspension. Happened late this week, so he didn’t get any practice in. 4 week layoff is tough on the kid. Nobody knows how much he’ll play. Could be a nice boost for the Quakers on D. Help with depth on a hot day, at a minimum.

I’m really hoping no one answers your question because it’s none of your business.
What’s the deal with grown arse adults prying into kids’ personal lives? Does it really matter to you what the reason was for? Jeezus.

I’m fully on board for putting games in other locales. It’s good for the game where it’s growing and for the most part the traditional sites have rarely brought in grand attendance. I was at the Q finals in Indianapolis a few years ago and it was a fine venue and it was great to meet the fans who came from reasonable distances like Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Detroit and Chicago that otherwise would not have attended. I was planning on making the 5 hr drive to Columbus to see the games and the added attraction of one of the country’s grand stadiums, but was deterred by the possibility of thunderstorm delays.

Who came up with the current crease violations rule? That needs a revamp by the rules committee. Score goal. Get blasted into edge of crease. Goal waved off. But offense gets a 30 second man up? Am I missing something here?

True dat. It would seem so on that rule. Literally a layup score called back to provide a man advantage to likely...not score. Plus clock burn.

It was a bad call. The ball was it the goal before the hit. It should have been a late hit and a good goal.
