COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Indiana faces Santa Clara in the semifinal round of the NCAA College Cup soccer tournament, while St. John's takes on Maryland in the other semifinal game.
Both matches are scheduled for Friday at Columbus Crew Stadium. The championship will be Sunday.
Indiana (13-3-5) upset top-seeded 2002 champion UCLA (18-2-1) at home 2-1 on Saturday to advance. The Hoosiers will be making their 16th College Cup appearance.
Santa Clara (15-3-4) beat Michigan 3-1 Saturday, behind two goals by Kalachi Igwe. The Broncos will be making their fifth trip to the semifinals.
St. John's (16-5-3) overcame a two goal deficit to beat Creighton (12-6-4) 3-2 on Sunday. The Red Storm will be making their second Final Four appearance in three years and third in program history.
The quarterfinal game was originally scheduled to be held at St. John's, but was moved to the University of Maryland due to inclement weather hammering the Northeast.
Maryland (20-2-1) defeated St. Louis (15-4-3) 4-2 on Sunday, also overcoming a two-goal deficit and scoring four goals in 11 minutes. The Terps advance to the College Cup for the second consecutive season.
