College Men: Virginia Tech pulls another surprise

• by Soccer America , Nov 28, 2016

Of the five ACC teams in the NCAA Division I men's quarterfinals, the big surprise is Virginia Tech. The unseeded Hokies, who had knocked off No. 10 Charlotte, 3-2, in the second round, beat No. 7 Indiana, 2-1, in the third round on Forrest White's golazo in overtime.

The Hoosiers had a huge edge in play -- 24-8 margin in shots, 9-0 in corner kicks -- but the Hokies were able to get on the board first on Brendan Moyers' goal off a cross from Elias Tamburini.

Indiana finally found the equalizer in the 77th minute on defender Grant Lillard's third goal of the season.

In overtime, IU had the bulk of possession, but the Hokies were able to find the winner when White curled a shot off the left post and into the goal from the top of the 18-yard box.

“Today’s result was a great team win," said Virginia Tech coach Mike Brizendine. "Our 1-v-1 defending was excellent, and I thought Ben Lungdaard played incredible in goal.”
