Round Robin Complete - Playoff Round Begins Tonight!
Round Robin play is now complete and the results are a 3-way tie for the #1 seed heading into the semifinals. Army, Missouri-Rolla and Florida International all finished with a 2-1 record. It came down to goal differential and Missouri-Rolla finished 1st with +10, Army 2nd with +6, and FIU 3rd with -1. Colorado finished 0-3 but did win the exhibition game against Key West by a score of 7-5.
It is any team's game going into the semifinals, as 2 out of the 3 games between the 3 tied teams were won by one goal. Army hopes to avenge it's 6-5 round robin loss to FIU in the semifinals, and Colorado hopes to show Missouri-Rolla that they are taking this seriously and that the 8-3 loss was not indicative of their post-round robin intentions.
Army vs. FIU kicks off the semifinals at 6pm tonight, while Missouri-Rolla takes on Colorado at 7:30pm. FIU also has their exhibition game against Key West at 9pm.
The consolation game will be played on Saturday January 5th at 10:30am, and the championship game will take place on Saturday January 5th at Noon.
