Seton Hall stunned second-seeded Virginia, Rutgers ended Connecticut’s hopes of repeating, and Portland pulled out a tight victory at Washington on Sunday as the NCAA Division I men’s soccer championships field was trimmed to 16 teams. Six teams ranked in the Soccer America Top 20 were beaten, with No. 10 Wake Forest, No. 12 South Carolina and No. 15 Princeton joining No. 5 Virginia, No. 8 UConn and No. 16 Washington with losses in their opening games. Fifth-seeded Clemson and Penn State needed three overtimes to win reach the third round, top-seeded SMU ended New Mexico’s miracle run, and UCLA routed San Diego on the road. Also advancing to the third round are eighth-seeded St. John’s, UAB, fourth-seeded Indiana, third-seeded Stanford, Loyola (Md.), sixth-seeded Saint Louis, seventh-seeded North Carolina, American and Fairleigh Dickinson. A roundup of Sunday’s second-round action: ò Phil Swenda swept Ingo Dittel’s pass into the goal in the seventh minute and Seton Hall stunned fifth-ranked Virginia, 1-0, at Charlottesville, Va. The Pirates (12-6-2), who will meet Fairleigh Dickinson in one of next weekend’s third-round games, got a superb showing from goalkeeper Efren Aguirre (nine saves) to hand Virginia its second loss in three games after a 16-0-1 start. Swenda scored the first goal in Seton Hall’s opening-round victory Friday over Coastal Carolina. ò Big East Offensive Player of the Year Dennis Ludwig scored his 16th and 17th goals of the season — the latter in the 128th minute — and Rutgers gave Coach Bob Reasso his 300th career victory with a 2-1 triple-OT upset of defending NCAA champion Connecticut at Storrs, Conn. The Scarlet Knights (15-6-3), playing without three injured starters, won for the first time in three meetings this season with UConn despite being outshot, 22-8. David Castellanos pulled the Huskies even in the 81st minute, and Mansour Ndiaye nearly won it in the second OT period, instead hitting the crossbar. Ludwig, who scored the lone goal in Rutgers’ first-round win over Harvard, broke a scoreless tie in the 72nd minute and won it on feeds from Chris Karcz and Sherif El Bialy. ò Nat Jacqua unleashed a 35-yard blast in the 63rd minute, and No. 19 Portland made it stand up for a 1-0 triumph over Washington at Seattle. Jacqua, who scored the lone goal in Portland’s first-round win over Gonzaga, shares the team lead with 10 goals. The Pilots (13-5-1) avenged a 4-3 loss on Nov. 9, also in Seattle, to advance to a third-round showdown with Stanford. Portland coach Clive Charles, who also guides the women’s team, ended Washington’s women’s season a week ago in Oregon. ò Adam Rosen scored two goals and Andrew Herman added a goal and an assist as American romped, 3-0, over No. 10 Wake Forest at Winston-Salem, N.C. The Eagles (13-7-2), who play at North Carolina on Sunday, took a 12th-minute lead on Rosen’s first goal, then added a second on Herman’s strike midway through the second half. Wake Forest played with only 10 players the rest of the half, with Aaron Thomas dismissed after arguing that Herman handled the ball before scoring. Rosen netted his 10th of the season 14 minutes later. ò Flavio Monteiro curled in a corner kick seven minutes into overtime as UAB surprised South Carolina, 3-2, at Columbia, S.C. The Gamecocks twice overcame deficits to force overtime, with Jordan Quinn scoring seconds after Martin Rey fired UAB ahead in the 76th minute. Rey scored two goals, giving him 26 this season, for the Blazers (15-5), who play at Clemson on Sunday. ò Aaron Paye set up the first goal with a free kick and netted the second on a breakaway as visiting Fairleigh Dickinson upset 15th-ranked Princeton, 2-1. The Knights (16-6), who face Seton Hall next week, went ahead on Nate Olson’s goal in the 54th minute and doubled their advantage on Paye’s chip in the 80th. ò Ross Goodacre found Kenneth Cutler streaking along the right side of the box, and the former U.S. under-17 captain beat goalkeeper Greg Raber in the 124th minute to give Clemson a 1-0 triumph over visiting Kentucky and a third-round date with UAB. The victory was Tigers coach Trevor Adair’s 100th. It was the first goal this season for Cutler, who captained the U-17s when they reached the semifinals two years ago at the World Championship in New Zealand. Reber tipped a Fabio Tambosi blast over the crossbar in the 102nd minute, and Nathan Fleetwood came inches from giving Kentucky the win, striking the post in the 117th. Clemson (18-4) played without ACC Tournament MVP Ian Fuller and second-leading scorer Steven Rhyne lost Dimelon Westfield, Oguchi Onyewu and Tombosi to injuries during overtime. ò Joe Zewe came off the bench to carry No. 11 Penn State to the third round, drilling in a shot off the bottom of the crossbar in the 134th minute to beat visiting South Florida, 1-0. The Nittany Lions (14-4-1), who face St. John’s on Saturday at Adelphi, outshot South Florida, 24-2, and took 12 corner kicks. Goalkeeper Troy Perkins kept the Bulls in the battle with 12 saves. ò Luchi Gonzalez netted his 21st goal in the 10th minute and top-ranked SMU fought off pesky New Mexico, 2-0, to tie the school record for victories established last season. Diego Walsh added a late penalty kick after Mohamed Fahim was tripped, and the Mustangs (20-0) earned a third-round assignment against UCLA. The Lobos (7-12-2) had won their previous four games — three in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament and a first-rounder over Florida International — after going 3-11-1 during the regular season and finishing last by a large margin in the MPSF. ò Matt Taylor scored twice and No. 20 UCLA used three late goals to turn a tight game with host San Diego into a 4-0 romp. The Bruins (12-6-4), who will face No. 1 SMU next weekend, avenged a 3-0 defeat to the Toreros earlier this season. Defender Nelson Akwari, captain of the U.S. under-20 team that competed at the World Youth Championship in Argentina last summer, made two saves on the goal line for UCLA. Taylor tallied in the 23rd and 70th minutes, Ryan Futagaki converted an 83rd-minute penalty kick, and Tim Pierce netted his third of the playoffs a minute later. ò Shalrie Joseph took a pass from Matia Damiani, beat two defenders, then fired past goalkeeper Bryan O’Quinn to deliver a 1-0 St. John’s victory over Massachusetts at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y. The sixth-ranked Red Storm (15-2-3), which takes on Penn State on Saturday at Adelphi, owned 18-4 shot and 9-0 corner kick advantages, forcing O’Quinn to make nine saves. Joseph’s 79th-minute goal was his sixth of the season and his third gamewinner in the past four games. ò Tyler Hawley sent a penalty kick through the arms of goalkeeper Mike Robinson and No. 7 Indiana claimed its fourth successive shutout and 14th of the season, topping Big Ten rival Michigan State, 1-0, at Bloomington, Ind. Phil Presser was fouled to set up Hawley’s 12th-minute kick, and the Hoosiers (15-3-1), who face a third-round encounter with Rutgers, beat the Spartans for the third time this year. ò Freshman Matt Janusz scored the first hat trick of his career to lead No. 3 Stanford past Bay Area rival Santa Clara, 3-1, in a defensive encounter at the Cardinal’s Maloney Field. Janusz — starting in place of suspended Roger Levesque, the Pac-10’s player of the year — scored in the fifth, 24th and 53rd minutes. Stanford (17-1-1) meets Portland on Friday. ò Juliano Adriano deOliveira knocked home a rebound in the second overtime to give No. 14 Loyola, Md. a 1-0 victory over Maryland at College Park, Md. The Greyhounds (17-1-2), who take on Saint Louis next week, took advantage of a midfield melee to claim their fifth OT win of the season. Loyola’s Bill Law and Ian Rodway got tangled up in midfield, leading to an altercation. A quick free kick led to two shots, with deOliveira’s ending the match. Law was subsequently red-carded. Greyhounds goalkeeper Reb Beatty notched his 13th shutout of the season. ò Brad Davis set up the tying goal with a corner kick and netted the winner with less than seven minutes to play as second-ranked Saint Louis ended visiting UM Kansas City’s upset hopes with a 2-1 victory. The Billikens (17-1), who meet once-beaten Loyola (Md.) in the third round, fell behind 11 minutes into the second half, with Drew Perkins tallying for the Kangaroos. Mike Kirchhoff evened things in the 63rd, finishing Jason Cole’s flick of Davis’ corner, and Davis struck from a Dipsy Selolwane through ball in the 84th. ò Ryan Kniepper scored two goals and assisted on the third as No. 9 North Carolina routed Towson, 3-0, at Chapel Hill, N.C. Kniepper, the Tar Heels’ leading goalscorer with 11, headed home a Grant Porter cross in the 23rd minute, set up Chris Leitch with a give-and-go in the 56th, and finished a David Stokes feed in the 60th. Carolina (17-4) meets American on Sunday afternoon. NCAA DIVISION I MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIPS SECOND ROUND Sunday’s results SMU 2 New Mexico 0. Goals: Gonzalez (Hudson) 10, Walsh pen. 83.
