Akron, Clemson, Stanford and Syracuse advance to College Cup

The final weekend of the college soccer season is set after an exciting quarterfinal round that had two games end in overtime and another go to penalties.

Syracuse got a late goal from their star forward Ben Polk to top Boston College and advance to the College Cup for the first time in program history on Saturday afternoon.

The 1-0 win for the Orange was the only quarterfinal to end in regulation.

The first quarterfinal in South Carolina on Friday night had to be decided with penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw. Philadelphia Union Academy graduate Sebastian Elney had a chance to win it with a header late in the second half, but Clemson goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell was there to make the stop and send the game to a penalty shootout, where the wheels fell off for the Terps.
