The NCAA College Cups – both men’s and women’s – are this weekend: semifinals on Friday, finals on Sunday, and every game is on ESPN2. Friday is a UCLA doubleheader: the Lady Bruins take on host and top-ranked North Carolina at 2:30pm, and the guys face Virginia at 5pm. Sunday, Dec. 3 is the championship doubleheader: women at 11:30am, men at 2pm.

Dec. 5-6, it’s the final games of the Champions League group stage. ESPN2’s games of the week are Barcelona-Bremen, Tuesday 1:30pm (it’s win-or-go-home for defending champ Barca), and Manchester United-Benfica, Wednesday, 1:30pm (a Man U loss would send them packing early yet again). Full schedule at austinchronicle.com/soccer.
