There are several ways – live audio, live stats, text messages and hotline updates – to follow tonight’s NCAA quarterfinal action featuring bohh the Notre Dame men’s and women’s soccer teams. The men play at Virginia (6:00 EST) while the women will play host to Penn State at 7:00.

• A free live-audio internet broadcast is available for the women’s game, linked on the lower left corner schedule portion of the und.com main page (UVa is not offering an audio broadcast for the men’s game).

• GameTracker live stats are available for both games, with links available in the lower left corner of the und.com main page.

• Fans are reminded that they can sign up for free text-message updates to their cellphones, via “Irish Alert.” Fans can customize their service to receive in-game updates of any ND sport currently in season. As a special feature for Friday’s games, the updates may include additional in-game updates (i.e. immediately following a score), in addition to the usual halftime and final messages. Those wishing to sign up for the text-message updates may do so on und.com (on the main page of each sport, in the right sidebar) or via the following link:
