The Elite Eight match between the University of Akron and the Louisville Cardinals featured a rematch of the 2010 NCAA National Championship game. The Zips won this time as well, but on penalty kicks, advancing them to the Final Four of this year’s College Cup.

The match marked the sixth time that Akron went into extra time this season. Akron bested the Cardinals from the penalty spot, 4-3 to return to their second College Cup in three seasons.
