The immediate eligibility rule certainly bit UD in the *** a few years ago in Men's Soccer . I guess we shouldn't have given a release.
In 2014, we have a very good goal keeper in Chris Froschauer, a junior. In September of 2014, we play and defeat OSU 1-0.
Chris Froschauer transfers to OSU.
In the Fall of 2015, we go on a roll win the A10 tourney and thus in the NCAA. We win round 1 and our reward is to go to Columbus and play OSU in round 2.
Regulation ends in a tie 1-1. We play 2 OT and still a tie, so since it's a tourney it goes to Penalty Kicks with guess who in goal. Dayton loses 4-3 with their former goalie making all the saves.
I will always believe it cost our program a berth in the Sweet 16.
(And it is not the same as Jordan Sibert playing against OSU in the NCAA, because aside from sitting out a year, JS played very little at OSU. CF was in goal for UD almost 100%)
