Virginia Tech defeated a highly favored University of Connecticut team on Saturday
and advanced to the Semi-Finals of the NCAA College Cup tournament. Junior Patrick Nyarko netted the match's sole goal, securing a trip to Cary, North Carolina where the Hokies will meet Wake Forest. Nyarko's performance in this game as well as over the past few years has solidified my opinion that he has a promising future ahead of him in the MLS.
Virginia Tech had their hands full with UConn's forward O'Brien White who is considered to be a top-5 pick in this year's MLS Draft. White had several chances to pull the Huskies even in the second half, but Virginia Tech's defense held strong.
Patrick Nyarko has continued to prove himself as one of Virginia Tech's most lethal attacking threats. With 31 goals in 56 games, he is currently 3rd in overall goals for Virginia Tech. Nyarko must continue to develop and grow as a player in his last year of eligibility. If he does continue to progress, I feel that he has the talent to succeed in the MLS as he has proven to be one of the most exciting players to watch in the ACC. Lets see if he can help the Hokies secure a first ever spot in the NCAA College Cup Finals.
