Homie was right. St mary’s Coach desperate to keep his job and if it meant packing it in and kicking it out he was going to do it.

Going to have to sweep USF and Santa Clara. My prediction is Pepperdine looks past USF and it’s a tie. Season over.

BYU looks like a beast and will continue to win.

Do you wear a yellow shirt on Fridays and Sundays?
Asking for a friend.

Bad call or not, Pepperdine couldn’t convert on 20+ shots. They also had a hard time with 2-win Pacific as it was 1-0 at half for a final of 2-0. The committee won’t look at the game stats to see Pepp dominated st. Mary’s in that loss.

Other than the "hard time" with Pacific, I agree with you.
Like you said, a win is a win.
 
Millander is a good coach and this could be one of his better teams since he’s been there. Pepp and Loyola will have their hands full. WCC is a grind and becomes more of a grind when teams like Pacific and st. mary’s sneak up on u.

IMO st. Mary’s has used their upset for the year .

“Hard time”??? We’re you at that match? I’ll answer for you. No. If you had been you’d know there was nothing “hard” about it for Pepp.

I’d still take Pepp 8 out of 10 times against Mary. Pepp completely outplayed them and the officiating was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Forget the penalty. He called it, they converted. Not long after that play however, we had two players taken down; one in the box and one at the top of it. No call. If a Pepp player touched a Mary, they flew to the ground like they’d been sniped by Clarke himself. They got the call nearly every time. Still not convinced? Go look at our foul stats season-to-date and see what they are game by game prior to yesterday’s match.

All anybody is asking for in these matches is consistency. Consistently bad, consistently mediocre, consistently good. I don’t care, just call it the same for both sides. That didn’t happen yesterday. To add insult to injury, when the CR finally handed out a yellow to a Mary, he gave it to the wrong player.

All of that not withstanding, we had 19 chances and didn’t convert a single one. That’s on us. Season technically not over...

If Pepp took care of business the refs would be a non issue and we wouldn’t be talking about them. Credit must be given to St. Mary’s for stifling the Pepp attack. Was it not good defense Sunday? They shut you out. You can read about it on the SMC web page.

Absolutely correct. Agree 100%

Allowing 17 shots is not what I would describe as good defense. What I would say is the Pepp offense could use some target practice ;)

Pepperdine Coach Tim Ward said: "We got another one, which is great. The girls played really, really well. We're finding our form at the right time. Pacific did a really good job being organized and being tough to break down in the first half. The goal before halftime was really needed for sure.

good organized team defense. If you block all angles to the goal, it’s hard to score.

Will be interesting to see if St. Mart’s Can keep this up.

You'd think the coaches facing a team like St. Mary's would have a game plan in place. You know what they're going to do. Defend at all costs, lump it forward for a hail "Mary" and hope for the best. I just feel for the players who are forced to play this way, or maybe that's the type of player he's recruiting now? Either way, it was hard to watch.

Nope. Smith will come off the bench for Stanford and will find the PAC 12 harder to score goals in than the cupcakes that she scored against. Catarina only scored 3 or 4 goals in conference play and that was against the weaker teams other than the one against $C. This ain’t weak a$$ International competition. No goal poaching.

Glad your Sophia Smith prediction hasn't quite panned out. She had the game-winning goals against both UCLA and USC last week and earned National Player of the Week honors in the process. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/womens-team-of-the-week:-october-2_aid45040 Macario has also had 3 goals in 3 Pac 12 games (including her 2 vs UCLA).
