NCAA soccer: Virginia Tech 0, Wake Forest 0, Half
An entertaining first half here at SAS Soccer Park ends with Virginia Tech tied with Wake Forest 0-0.
Each team had chances. The Hokies had the best one early in the half, as Patrick Nyarko took a long pass from the midfield and got between Wake goaltender Brian Edwards and the the net. Nyarko stumbled, however, and by the time he got his balance, the Wake keeper had gotten back in front of the net. Nyarko sent a pass to Robert Edmans on the left side and Edmans blasted it over with his left foot over the crossbar.
Edmans picked up a yellow card in the 34th minute, so he'll need to be careful in the second half. He, Nyarko and Ben Nason share the team lead in goals with seven apiece.
Excellent crowd on hand. Appears to be more Wake Forest fans than Tech -- which is to be expected since we're in Cary, North Carolina.
The winner of this national semifinal will face the winner of Ohio State-UMass on Sunday.
