8:40 pm - Marietta's playoff hopes are dissolving before our very eyes. While they remained competative throughout the first three games, they lose the final three. JCU wins 25-13.

8:38 pm - Great cognizance from McDiarmid as she drops an ace in front of the deep Marietta defense. JCU leads 18-10.

8:31 pm - Game 3 stats: Hitting percentages largely improved for both squads: John Carroll at a .364 clip and Marietta at .333. Errors that were abundant in the first game were nearly gone in the third game, only three. Gambone led with 5 kills, followed by 3 for Kidd. Kidd had two aces. Both players accounted for 10 of John Carroll's 25 points.

8:26 pm - This is the first game in which John Carroll has held a significant lead early on. A 4-1 lead illicits a timeout from Marietta Coach Ray Costa.

8:22 pm - John Carroll wins the third game 25-22

8:18 pm - McDiarmid is whistled for a net violation. The Marietta point ties the score at 21 before two quick points by JCU. 23-21 John Carroll

8:12 pm - The dogfight continues. This time, the southpaw setter Meredith McDiarmid finds a soft spot in the defense. Marietta won't go down without a fight, in fact, they quietly have the lead.

8:09 pm - Another lethal spike from Gambone gives JCU a 12-9 lead. A far cry from the 7-1 deficit they had to overcome in the first game.

8:06 pm - Kristen Kidd is firing spikes to the floor. The dangerous combination of Kidd and senior Megan Gambone has Marietta on their heels.

7:58 pm - John Carroll takes the second game by an identical score of 25-21. Senior Katie Hastings had a big block to give JCU the first point after a Marietta timeout.

7:54 pm - We officially have a nailbiter. An inevitable kill is countered by a spectacular dig or a huge block. This game is going down to the wire. John Carroll leads 22-21 but there is no telling where this one may end up.

7:51 pm - Once again, a timout works wonders for John Carroll who now trails their opponent by only one: 17-16.

7:47 pm - After being 0n or around a tie game through the first 25 points of game 2, Marietta begins to widen the gap. By virture of tremendous digs and uncanny blocks, the Pioneers are able to possess a 17-13 lead.

7:40 pm - Game one stats of note: Marietta had 6 blocks, Jessie Blackley factored in on 4 (2 solo, 2 assists). JCU possessed a dismal hitting percentage of -.071. Registering only 8 kills and 11 errors.

One can sense the enthusiasm gap between John Carroll and Marietta. The despiration of the Pioneers is palpable, but they are having fun.

7:33 pm - Timeouts can work wonders. Marietta rattled off 2 subsequent points to take the first game by a score of 25-21. John Carroll escaped humiliation with a strong showing late in the game.

7:30 pm - Tables may have turned after the JCU timeout. 5 straight points for John Carroll closes the gap to 21-23. Timeout Marietta.

7:28 pm - Trouble! The Blue Streaks use another timeout with only 1 point to give. 23-17 Marietta.

7:25 pm - Megan Gambone reached over to block a shot, resulting in a Marietta point. Coach Plummer's abbreviated argument does not sway the referees

7:22 pm - Kristen Kidd rallies John Carroll with an ace to culminate a 4-point streak for the Streaks. 18-12 Marietta.

7:16 pm - John Carroll is overpowered on every ball near the net. Marietta has come to play tonight. If the Blue Streaks keep playing like this, an eight seed awaits them in the playoffs. 14-5 Pioneers

7:14 pm - After a Marietta 7-1 early run, Coach Cally Plummer is forced to call a timeout to regain team composure.

7:10 pm - Lights, camera, action! The players have been announced and we are seconds away from competition. Motivation is high for this despirate Marietta squad, a loss would eliminate the Pioneers from playoff contention.

_________________
1:52 pm - Great day for soccer at Shula Stadium. Sun is out in full force, slight breeze, temps in the 70's. What more can you ask for?

2 pm - JCU and Marietta are about to kick off, with both teams listening to the National Anthem - it doesn't get any better than this in America!

2:14 p.m. - Sorry for the delay in posts, but this game has been action-packed! Within about a 90-second stretch, JCU and Marietta scored three goals, with the Blue Streaks now leading 2-1. We'll see if these two teams will settle down, or if this scoring will be a trend throughout the game.

2:22 p.m. - No big plays, but JCU needs to figure out a way to handle the speed of Marietta's McDonald and Muth. JCU's McKinney has had several close attempts for a score, but has yet to hit the net.

2:30 p.m. - Great play by JCU with a corner kick. Ciacchi takes the kick, and passes it perfectly to McKinney who gives it right to the feet of Kosek. Unfortunately for JCU, Marietta goalkeeper Steven Hagenau was prepared, and made a huge save.

2:39 p.m. - Louis Kastelic had a great pass inside the box, and Jake Milli made a great effort to head it in - but the ball went wide right. With less than 8 minutes to play, JCU still leads just 2-1.

3:02 p.m. - We're back from halftime, and the score has not changed in the first few minutes of play. JCU's leading scorer Jeff Kosek hasn't been a big playmaker so far today, so we'll see if in the second half he can do something to extend the JCU lead.

3:12 p.m. - Things have gotten more interesting here at Shula Stadium. Senior defender Mike Pinter received his second card of the game, resulting in a red card that has removed him from the game. This set up a penalty kick right outside of the box, allowing Marietta's Dele Adedapo to score and tie the game 2-2. JCU will now play one man down for the remainder of the game. 32 minutes remain. Look soon for more updates!

3:32 p.m. - No change in the score, but both the Pioneers and the Blue Streaks have had some close shots on the goal. Right now time is stopped for an injury on the field, but the player, Jake Milli is up and walking around, and appears to be ok.

3:36 p.m. - Scott McKinney has just shown why you always hustle. Marietta passed the ball back to its goalkeeper, Hagenau, but he was not expecting the kick. McKinney noticed the miscue, and got to the ball for the JCU goal! Now with 11 minutes remaining, JCU leads, 3-2. We'll see if JCU can hold on with a 10-man set on the field.

3:48 p.m. - JCU still leads, 3-2 with less than three minutes remaining. Marietta just headed a ball into the goal! But offsides is called, and the goal is no good. What a game here at Shula Stadium today! We have seen some pretty crazy stuff, and it's not over yet.

3:56 p.m. - The Blue Streaks pull off the win, keeping the Pioneers at bay and having a final score 3-2.
