Heartbreak for the 02 boys who despite clearly being the better team, lost 1-0 in the morning to Cal South.

04 Boys
A thrilling 3-3 match where the boys fought back from multiple goals down behind the goals of Zach Booth kept the boys alive and needing a win against New Mexico to advance. Once again they tried to fight back but this time the rally fell short and they wont be advancing. Their consolation game is against either Arizona or Hawaii at 3:00pm.
05 Boys
In perhaps the cruelest possible way to lose a game, the 05 boys were the victim of a last second penalty call in their second game which knocked them out of the semifinals after a fantastic goal from Yo Aitken had put them through. In the first game they manhandled Montana. Tomorrow they will play their consolation game against Washington at 3:00pm
