Irish Women's Soccer -- On to Final Four!!!


The University of Notre Dame Women's Soccer team won again last night -- beating a higher ranked opponent on their home field (for the second week in a row!) -- as Randy Waldrum's "ROAD WARRIORS" rolled over Oklahoma State 2-0 last night in Stillwater, OK.  Freshman Elizabeth Tucker scored both goals for the Irish -- as they advance to the College Cup for the fourth consecutive year!  The "College Cup" is the soccer world's version of the FINAL FOUR -- the four teams left standing in the 2010 Women's NCAA Soccer National Championship.  Notre Dame will play Ohio State on Friday in one of the Semi-Final games.  Stanford will play in the other Semi-Final against the winner of the Boston College vs. Washington game -- later today.  A ND GO IRISH BLOG thank you goes out to Jerry Clancy for letting me know the Irish won last night!  Here's a link to the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship website along with stories on the Irish victory:
