Bojang with a laser from dead center 30 yards out. 1-0 Flyers.
Halftime - still 1-0.
We came out playing really well with lots of pressure all over the field. VCU started to break us down a bit late in the half. Thought our set pieces - corners and directs - were too soft, making for easy defending.
45 minutes to a title.

We owe VCU big time. Let's keep up the intensity in the second half.

Amankwaah unassisted on a direct. 2-0 Flyers.
Repeat after me - we will not surrender a 2 goal lead again to VCU.

VCU scores on a wicked header off a corner. Dayton comes back 16 seconds later and Maik scores off a great setup from Hagenkord. 3-1 Flyers.
Red card VCU. Flyers up a man.

4-1 Flyers final.
Could not be happier for the guys. After the despair at Baujan last week in losing to VCU and failing to win the A-10 regular season title, today is all the sweeter. There are no mountain tops without valleys.
On to the NCAA!

Hansen started - as he has for the previous 2 tournament games. However, he got injured mid-way through the first half -looked like a thigh or hamstring. Saliba came in and finished the match.

We played well. Better of the two teams today due to our work rate, closure speed, and ability to pick off VCU's midfield passing. When the match got to 2-1 with about 18 minutes to go, I was beginning to get worried that VCU might feel destiny was on their side. But we got that goal back about 30 seconds later to make it 3-1 and that really broke VCU's spirits.
Thought our defense was very good. Sendin has been solid all year without much fanfare or recognition, but I thought left back Coleton Long was no less impressive and was All Tourney team worthy with his tackling and mistake-free play in the back line.
We got good energy up top with Haupt, while Amankona did his thing in the middle. Bojang and Abubakar stacked down the middle provided enough muscle to keep VCU off their game. Overall an excellent performance today and some very good goals. No question we were the best team in the A10 this year. The A10 was softer in 2015 compared to past seasons, but I dont think that takes away from the accomplishment.
Will be interesting to see who we get matched up against. Look for Oakland, Indiana, Kentucky, or another regional school squarely in the NCAAs but not good enough to earn a seed and a bye. Ohio State probably earns a seed and would avoid us in the First Round. Same with Akron.
Was hoping Wright State would win today in the Horizon finals. Would have made for an easy bracketing job.

The top 16 seeded teams get first round byes in the 48 team bracket. Dayton's RPI is mid 50's - no bye for us. First round games are Thursday the 19th.
Possible match-up with teams in our geographical area -
Notre Dame - (RPI 8) - probable bye
Georgetown (RPI 4) -probable bye
Creighton (RPI 10) - probable bye
Butler (RPI 44) -most likely out of tournament
Xavier (RPI 49) - most likely out of tournament
Ohio State (RPI 11) - probable bye
Indiana (RPI 21) - very possible first round match-up
Michigan (RPI 45) -most likely out of tournament
Kentucky (RPI 29) - on bubble - very possible first round match-up
Akron (RPI 5) - probable bye
Oakland (RPI 76) - (beat Wright State for Horizon title) possible first round match-up
my best guess-Flyers at Kentucky
