NCAA First Round live blog: Women’s soccer vs. Aurora

In addition to today’s live audio broadcast of the Aurora game, we’re maintaining a live blog with lineups, formations, goal descriptions, and occasional zippy commentary. (Should you miss any of the game, you can check the live blog transcript to catch up.)

This year, our live blogging software also includes a scoreboard widget, which we’ll update in real time so that you can see the current score and minute at any point. And on top of all that, you can post comments, questions, and shout-outs to the liveblog; some of these we’ll share on air, and all of them will be seen by other followers of the live blog, so come in and say to hi to your fellow Maroons (or Spartans; we’re excited to hear from Aurora fans too!).

To access the live blog, follow this link. The live blog should open in a separate tab or browser window, so you may need to temporarily allow pop-ups.

The audio broadcast will begin at 10:15 a.m., CST. We’ll start live blogging ten to fifteen minutes before kick off.

All of us at GoMaroons! Live are twitching with excitement over the day’s games (the Chicago men play their first round game against Wartburg at 5 p.m., and we’re broadcasting that one too). At a time like this, it’s hard to think of a fitting end to a blog post, so I’ll defer to some wisdom riceeved from American footballer Terrell Owens: Getcha popcorn ready.
