Wake Forest vs. Notre Dame - Live from Spry

3:21 - GOAAAAALLLLLL - Austin Hollywood da Luz from Marcus Tracy!!!!!!!!! WAKE ADVANCES TO THE FINAL 4!!!!!! HOLLYWOOD RIPS OFF HIS JERSEY IN CELEBRATION!!!!! WE WILL PLAY VIRGINIA TECH NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT!!!
Tracy dribbles up, gets a little through ball to Austin who takes a shot, lower left corner. Beautiful pass, beautiful shot.

4:08 - Cody Arnoux gets on opportunity but mis hits it way high. Looked like a promising effort all around on that posession, but nothing came of it.

5:18 - ND crosses one in front of the net, caught by Edwards.

5:52 - ND yellow to Matt Besler. Free kick from about 20 out...Nothing.

6:00 - ND pushes up but gets nothing.

7:00 - Corner for the Deacs, looking strong on offense and controlling posession right now. Nothing from the corner.

9:06 - Cody Arnoux gets a shot off, a little weak but it was on net. Saved by ND, got my heart racing.

10:00 - Here we go...

90 is not enough...Overtime rules: two 10 minute overtimes, played as golden goal (sudden death).

2:45 - ND corner...shot deflected out, another corner...shot deflected right to Edwards, Wake pushing, ND defense holds, no shot.

5:50 - Notre Dame has threatened a bit more, but nothing too scary. Our offense has gotten quite though.

7:40 - Corner for Notre Dame, actually put this one in, but headed out by Wake. Notre Dame subsequently offsides.

10:00 - Almost had an opportunity in the box, but no shot. Notre Dame isn't getting much of anything on the offensive end, but it's definitely time to capitalize.

14:22 - Corben Bone tries a shot on a ball at about waist level from the 18, misses high. Deacs lead shots 13-3, but game is tied at zero. Really wish we would put one in the back of the net.

19:44 - Marcus Tracy's shot deflected, corner for Wake. Nothing.

22:05 - miscommunication on a through ball in the box, and no one is home for the Deacs. Still 0-0.

23:25 - Wake gets a corner after the goalie doesn't grab the ball that was clearly deflected, pretty dumb. Nothing comes of the corner.

26:35 - To answer the question from the comment section - Of the first half shots, I'd say definitely 2, maybe 3 we were on net, however for whatever reason they don't actually keep that stat officially, so that is my best guess. Nothing of great significance happening on the field currently.

28:14 - We just took what looked like a shot with absolutely no angle that may have skimmed across the cross bar. Looked like another opportunity right afterwards, but we were called for offsides.

31:15 - Lahoud drives one form well outside the 18, misses wide right.

32:00 - Schilawski in for Tracy, Wake pushing..

35:30 - Almost a good opportunity when ND's defense lost posession, Hollywood tried to center for someone to get a shot, but we couldn't get a good one off.

37:00 - Corner for Notre Dame, who once again uses the tactic of passing it short and then putting it in, and once again it failed pretty miserably.

41:00 - Couple shots from Notre Dame, including one blast from probably 35 out that missed just right.

43:25 - Cody had a wide open shot from 8 out on the left and missed it wide right. Definitely looked like it should have been a goal. Still 0-0.

2nd Half, 45:00 - 2nd Half starting now, Corben and Hollywood da Luz both in the game. Let's get a quick strike, Deacs.

Halftime - Tied, 0-0. Deacs dominated the half but we've got nothing to show for it. Hopefully missed opportunities won't come back to bite us. Wake leads shots 9-1, I don't know many stats other than that, but I may be able to find them if you want me to.

Stats Update: Notre Dame has 2 saves , 1 corner, nad 4 fouls. Wake has no saves, 5 corners, and 4 fouls. That's about it.

0:30 - Corner by Cronin...no shot, foul called on the Deacs.

1:00 - Another Notre Dame foul, possibly our last opportunity of the half free kick from the left half...header goes over the goal for a corner...

3:42 - Notre Dame called for a foul just outside the box, free kick being taken from about 25 out...Initial kick blocked, Corben Bone misses the rebound just right. Still 0-0.

5:51 - Irish get a cross, but the Deacs head it out. Still only one Notre Dame shot to the Deacs' seven.

11:00 - Unbelievable! Marcus Tracy got free and ND's goalie came outside the box to try to beat him to the through ball. Tracy controlled it and got past the goalie and it looked like it would be an easy goal, but had his shot deflected by a ND defender. Very disappointing! Shortly after the following corner Sam Cronin missed a shot wide right.

12:40 - "Hollywood" da Luz checks in. Often a good spark for the Deacs.

14:30 - Wake misplays the ball on defense again and Notre Dame's Joseph Lapira misses the shot wide left.

16:39 - Cody Arnoux swung and missed from point blank on a little chip shot cross. Arnoux checks out, Schilawski comes in. Another corner for the Deacs, but straight to the goalie.

18:00 - Mike Lahoud takes a shot that gets deflected, looked like another pretty good opportunity for the Deacs. I have a feeling we'll find the net once before the half.

18:25- Corben Bone checks in for the Deacs.

20:16 - Nasty collision at midfield, but it was all pretty inadvertent, so no card. Foul called on the Deacs. Wake's continuing to control posession for the most part, and has 4 shots while ND has zero.

23:59 - Tracy had beautiful header from 8 feet out, but Irish goalie Chris Cahill made an incredibly save on the shot that nearly found the top right corner. Evan Brown missed the rebound high. Very nearly a Deacon goal.

25:24 - Cross into the box was deflected straight up into the air and now results in a corner for Wake. Franks' corner finds a Deacon head but gets deflected wide right. Evan Brown on the next corner doesn't find anything. Cronin gets a shot form outside the box but is deflected.

29:39 - Notre Dame corner - didn't actually put it in the box, rather passed short to a teammate and then didn't get anything from it. Still 0-0. Just found out that the stadium is officially full/sold out. Impressive job by Wake fans showing support.

35:30 - Notre Dame took advantage of Wake's mishandling of the ball and got a great cross off, but weren't able to get a foot on the ball for a shot.

36:23 - Terrible call by the referee - gave Notre Dame a goal kick on what was pretty clearly a Corner. Tough break for the Deacs. Still controlling posession and keeping most everything on Notre Dame's half of the field.

39:00 - Pushing pretty hard to start the game, which is pretty typical of our strategy so far this post-season. Early corner kick for the Deacs doesn't threaten, and the Irish don't accomplish anything on a throw into the box. Mike Lahoud got a non-threatening shot off for the Deacs as well

We're about 5:00 from the kickoff of the Wake Forest vs. Notre Dame Quarterfinal match. I'll be trying to keep you updated about every 5-10 minutes, and of course more frequently when big things are happening. Great crowd on hand tonight, Spry looks almost completely full. Should be a fun night.
