| ODU Field Hockey helped ODU finish 1st among C-USA schools in the Capital One Cup Final Women's Standings |
Old Dominion tied for 9th in the Field Hockey standings after appearing in the NCAA Tournament and ODU finished 77th overall in the women's standings.
I apologize to my readers and fans as I had to play tennis with my dad and I had a long bike ride on this special Father's Day. What fuels me to write every week is the fact that you matter. And these sports that should be written about more, matter. It is not just days like today that should be remembered as fun or memorable. Everyday you wake up is a bright signal that you can be even better than what you were previously, because you have the supporters that have your back. Now to the fun stuff!
MESSI's GOAL FUELS ARGENTINA WIN OVER BOSNIA
 |
| Lionel Messi scores the game-winner over Bosnia |
Estadio do Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil- Lionel Messi scored in the 65th minute to give Argentina a 2-0 cushion and eventual 2-1 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina. Argentina's Sead Kolasinac began the scoring at the 3 minute mark to give the heavy favorites the 1-0 lead.
The stadium clock had just passed two minutes, and the goal was the
cue for Argentina fans to celebrate. Many Brazilian Bosnia supporters were in the crowd so the Argentina fans in attendance chanted "Maradona is better than Pele," which sparked the stadium.
Bosnia, appearing in their first World Cup, scored at the 85 minute mark as Vedad Ibisevic scored to make the final eight minutes quite interesting. However Argentina played solid defense throughout the match and Bosnia was limited to 45% possession time. Bosnia did outshoot Argentina by an 11-5 count and 16-11 overall shots. Messi and Sergio Aguero led the way with three shots each. Argentina's goalkeeper Sergio Romero came up with five saves allowing just one goal.
