UNF ASun Semi-Final 11/15/13

The #1 seed FGCU Eagles hosted the #5 seed University of North Florida Ospreys in the semi-final game of the ASun conference men's soccer championship. In a temper-filled, hard-faught match, the Ospreys put up two goals, and the Eagles were only able to respond with one. The officiating was the absolute worst I have ever seen, with the ref on the court losing control of the match, making and withdrawing calls, making bad calls, and spending far, far too much time explaining and arguing with players. Lack of control by the refs left the players tempers on edge, and while the coaches were able to keep the teams from descending into a fight, it did nothing to encourage a good match. Fortunately the ref's bad work seemed evenly dispensed, and probably did not directly decide the game (though a fairly questionable early call of off-sides called back an FGCU goal from within 5 yards of the goal). Below are shots from the game, please feel free to download and use them. I welcome suggestions and criticism.
