The game was secondary. Sure, last night's 102-63 pounding of La Salle was important to the University of Massachusetts. The win pushed UMass's record to 22-7, the most victories the Minutemen have had since their Final Four record of 35-2 in 1995-96.

In many ways, the University of Massachusetts seemed to be in over its head in the semifinals of the NCAA men's soccer tournament Friday night in Cary, N.C.
