for the NCAA Division I Women's National Championship at Austin, Texas.

Congratulations to Coach Clive Charles and the Pilots! The National Championshp is the first for the University of Portland in any sport ever and breaks a five-time appearance drought in the title match for the women's program.

As a GK, I am allowed to question the GK. What was Sobolik thinking on the first goal? Even if Sinclair meant to hit a cross, that was the kind of cross that Sobolik should have come out to get. Even if she got a low hand parry on it, she needed to do something.

The second goal was....... well it was a goal. Good effort by Sinclair's part. I tend to think that Sobolik should have held the initial shot and/or done more once the ball came off the post. I still feel that both semifinal games should be played on Friday and the final played on Sunday. What makes even less sense than the way the womens' Final 4 is scheduled (both semis on Sat) is the way the mens' is scheduled (one semi on Fri and one on Sat).
