A very disappointing (and early) exit from the NCAA tournament for the Hoosiers. The Irish pushed hard from the opening whistle, and finished two great chances.

The Hoosiers' hopes for a third-straight national title are thus dashed.

Indiana a # 3 Seed in NCAAs

The Indiana University men's soccer team has been awarded a # 3 seed in the bracket for the 2005 Division I championships. The College Cup will be held this year in Cary, NC. The full bracket can be found here.

On 11-22 the Hoosiers will host the winner of the Notre Dame / Western Illinois match to be played on 11-18. If the Hoosiers win, they will host a third round game on 11-27, and will play Clemson, Coastal Carolina or North Carolina State.

If the bracket goes more or less according to form, IU will host a quarterfinal match on 12-4, and would likely play Ms. AbCrack's alma mater Duke or 2005 Hoosier nemesis Penn State.

Good luck to the Hoosiers!
