Men's Soccer - SMU vs. Duke

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Don't forget the other football game this afternoon as SMU takes on Duke in Durham, N.C. Game time is 1:30pm.

It appears the live video available is a pay service, but they are also running live blogs for the games, which provide a lot more information than the gametracker.

Here is the link for our game today:

I assume either SMU's site or Duke's site will have GameTracker available, too, right?

There is actually a live blog button in the live stats window that opens the live blog in the same window - which would be really nice if the live blog was actually working!

Looks like Duke kind of had the run of play late in the first based on the stats.

Go Ponies. Time to get a W

Into the final quarter of an hour - still scoreless.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Isn't it funny how even though soccer balls haven't used the pattern of white hexagons with black pentagons for close to 30 years now, almost every soccer ball representation in logos and graphics still uses that pattern?

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Four minutes left in regulation - still scoreless.

Duke now has two players on a yellow.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

And of course, SMU now has two players on a yellow as well. (Engel and Nelson)

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Headed to overtime!

Nice flurry by SMU towards the end of the second half to get the shot stats a bit closer to even.

Regulation stats:

Shots on goal: Duke 10, SMU 6
Shots: Duke 22, SMU 15
Corners: Duke 13, SMU 5
Fouls: Duke 13, SMU 10
Yellow Cards: Duke 2, SMU 2

Robbie Derschang leading SMU with 4 shots (1 on target). Zach Barnes has 3 shots (1 on target). I imagine Jaime Ibarra is playing well with 9 saves.
