QUICKLY: After taking down ranked teams in back-to-back games, the University of Colorado soccer team will continue its record-breaking season with a trip to the Sweet 16. The Buffaloes were one of two teams to defeat a seeded team in the first round of NCAA play and were the first to advance to the third round. CU hopes to keep upsetting the competition as it faces No. 3 ranked and No. 1 seeded Florida State on Saturday, Nov. 22 at noon ET (10 a.m. MT).

COLORADO VS. FLORIDA STATE: This will be the teams’ first ever meeting. CU holds a 3-7 record against Atlantic Coast Conference schools. The Buffs’ most recent game against an ACC opponent was in 2007, when the squad fell 4-0 to No. 10 Virginia. CU has wins over Clemson, Pitt and Wake Forest with a combined score of 8-2. Six of the Buffs’ seven losses have been to ACC teams ranked in the top 20. No. 1 ranked Notre Dame knocked the Buffs out of the 2006 Sweet 16, ending their historic run.

SCOUTING THE SEMINOLES: Florida State is by far one of the most intimidating teams the Buffs have faced this season. FSU holds a 20-1-3 record this season, falling only to ACC foe and No. 1 ranked Virginia. The ACC Tournament Champions have made their 12th Sweet 16 appearance (in 14 consecutive NCAAs), first defeating South Alabama 5-0 and then beating No. 22 Ole Miss 3-1. The Seminoles are unbeaten through their last 33 games at Seminole Soccer Complex. FSU is 29-1-0 at home in the NCAAs, outscoring its opponents 88-16, with the Noles’ only loss happening in the 2009 Elite Eight. Junior Dagny Brynjarsdottir leads 13 goal scorers with 12 goals, three assists and six game-winners. Redshirt-freshman Berglind Thorvaldsdottir and junior Marta Bakowska-Mathews have each netted seven and six goals, respectively. Junior Megan Campbell is an assisting machine, helping her teammates to 10 points. In the net, redshirt-senior goalkeeper Kelsey Wys has allowed just 13 goals while grabbing 60 saves. She holds a 0.52 goals-against average while shutting out 13 opponents. The Noles, who boast an impressive eight international players on their roster, have defeated 10 teams ranked in the top 25, including five in the top 10. FSU ranks in the top 50 nationally in GAA, shutout percentage, save percentage, assists, scoring offense and points.

The match is at 10am MT today. There is no video, just the gametracker but I'll try to do play-by-play from twitter if I can.

good luck announcing those international professional...errr, exchange student names on Twitter.
 
Goal FSU. Dagny with the header off the foot of Michaela Hahn. Noles lead 1-0.
 
Quickest goal of the season for FSU (1:19). 13th of the year for Dagny and Hahn's 7th assist.
 
Goal FSU. Another Dagny header, this time from Fields (and Schmid). 6:59 time of goal. #Noles looking very strong so far. 2-0.
 
Colorado gets off its first shot, but it sails wide right of the goal. Aside from that shot, game has been played completely in CU territory
 
9:45 into the 1st half and the Buffs haven't been able to get a shot off yet.

This is a lot like in the Men's NCAA basketball tourney if you had a 13-seed, took down a 4-seed Xavier in the 1st round, followed it with a win over 5-seed Gonzaga in the 2nd round, and then traveled to Greensboro to take on #1 seed North Carolina.

A CU win would be a monster upset.

Let's hope we can find our way to 2-1 and go into the 2nd half with a chance.
 
Goal FSU. Grubka with her third of the season (2nd of postseason) off a free kick assist from Megan Campbell. 14:16, #Noles lead 3-0.
 
The Buffs are struggling to find an offensive rhythm against one of the nation's best defenses.
 
Buffs going big and focusing on defending, sub in Heather Ward for Emily Paxton. FSU has outshot CU 9 to 1 through 25 minutes.
 
CU yellow card issued - still FSU 3-0 with 11 min left in the first half.
 
CU has held FSU to just two shots in the last 15 minutes. Seminoles lead 3-0 with under 10 remaining in the first half.
 
FSU goal waved off on an offsides call that the officials had to get together on to overturn.
 
Hayley Hughes takes the first shot of the second half, but FSU responds with three straight of their own in the first 15 minutes.
 
CU free kick from just outside the box is a bullet that sails high. 26 minutes left, FSU up 3-0.
 
Goal FSU. CU goalie can't corral the Michaela Hahn bullet as it scoots past her for a 4-0 lead. 2nd of season for Hahn, assist from Kallman
 
Pretty tough playing a round of 16 game on the opponent's home turf where the opponent has won 33 straight. Great season for the Buffs. Just need to build on the success.

This doesn't take away from what a great season that they had. They have some good young pieces and next season should be real fun.
 
No more updates. It hurts, no matter what FSU team it is. I hate that effing school.
 
It's over. The Buffs season ends with a 4-0 loss to #3 Florida State. The Buffs were outshot 24-4.
