And that was the fact they are over looked.

At 12-1, the owls were only receiving votes in the top 25.

And the owls started their quest for a national title today against number 9 and top seeded westmont.

And take a look at what happened.

The owls enter the bracket as the 4th and final seed.

The owls upset the number 9 team in the nation by a score of two goals to none.

Mehana ortiz hit a 35-yard goal carli lloyd style in the 26th minute.
