Indiana scores OT stunner to topple No. 10 Wake Forest 🚨
After reaching a 2-2 stalemate at the end of regular time, the Patrick-Hugo connection struck for a second time. First in the 50th minute to equalize 1-1 and again to break away in OT, Patrick McDonald served Hugo Bacharach a ball into the Deacs' box to add a Hoosier point to the scoreboard. The second time around Bacharach flicked in the delivery with his back heel to score a stunning game-winner over No. 10 Wake Forest.
Indiana becomes the third squad today to knock out a seeded team and will be advancing to the round of sixteen for a ninth consecutive season.94' | HUGOOOOO!@HBacharach | #IUMS pic.twitter.com/ciyHKmRaMH

Virginia with the overtime BIKE 🚲
Two words. Leo Afonso. The senior delivered both goals for the Cavaliers' 2-1 OT win over Florida International and he did so in epic flipping fashion. Literally. He flipped his foot over his head to connect with the ball mid-air and boost the Hoos to the third round of the tournament.

The goal-fest award goes to Louisville vs. Dayton (4-3)🏅
Talk about a high-scoring thriller. Three-all at the half, a Louisville diving header to cap it off and four players earning their first goal of the season. Both teams racked up points in shameless fashion with Dayton's Logan Brown delivering this showstopper to level the score early on and earn his first goal of the season.
BACK-HEEL GOAL ‼️

Yale's last-minute game-winner— from the HALF
Yale earned its first NCAA tournament win since 1999 in the very last minutes of an otherwise scoreless match against Bryant. Junior Max Rogers launched this rocket of a shot from the half, catching the Bryant goalkeeper off his line and boosting the Bulldogs to victory.
Denver's 3-minute turnaround 🤯
Moments lead to goals, lead to equalizers that lead to wins. It took Denver three minutes to turn the game on its head and beat Long Island 2-1 to earn a chance to face No. 6 seed SMU in the second round.
An unbelievable first half from the defending champs 🍊
Syracuse is BACK and the lads are using their heads. After going down 1-0 to Boston U. early in the match, the Orange turned around to deliver three header goals before the halftime whistle — two of them in the span of a minute. This set-piece set up sophomore Nicholas Kaloukian to nod in the equalizer and kick the defending champs in motion.
