2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

PAC 12 SUNDAY

some intriguing matches, given where the teams are sitting at this time

1- Washington State v Utah
2- USC v Arizona State
3- Colorado v Washington
4- Stanford v Oregon State
5- UCLA v Arizona
6- Oregon v CAL

Washington State in a big match v Utah. If Utah pulls the win, they are tied with WSU. If WSU wins, they stay within reach of the top.
pivotal match for Oregon, can they get the 3 v CAL and start moving up?
same could be said for AZ v UCLA, if AZ comes up empty v the Bruins, they are in a pretty deep hole
Colorado needs 3 to keep pace with those at the top
I was impressed with Oregon's game on Thursday.
I had no idea they had that kinda game.
 
Agreed.

They have a great staff and have been working hard in getting players with a little juice to come to the Duck Kingdom.

They stayed disciplined in that game and showed they're at least on the rise from where they've been the last several seasons, IMHO.

Oregon looked a lot better than expected against Stanford but so have other teams. They've figured out the trick, which is just to press Stanford hard the whole game. Without Andi Sullivan (and now without Tierna Davidson) Stanford cannot maintain possession the way it used to. They look a lot more disorganized than when those two women were involved. Of course they are still tremendously deep, so they have been in much better shape heading into overtime than their opponents.

Stanford is a different team without JB in the line up. She was the unsung hero on last year’s team until people started taking notice in the College Cup. They missed her steadiness in the Oregon game. She is a dfference maker for them in the midfield, so hopefully she’s back to full strength soon.
 
Looks like a five team race with Pepp, SC, BYU, zags and Portland. Too close to call at this point.

Advantage BYU.

Eastbay, don't you pay attention to history? today was 10 straight wins for Pepperdine over Santa Clara in Malibu. Santa Clara's last win in Malibu was prior to Prince partying in 1999...
 
Looking at the weekend results, have to acknowledge a SoCal player HH putting Vandy on top of the SEC with 2 goals in a big win at Tennessee. Says a lot about the level of SoCal talent.

I think if Pep runs the table, and that is a big "if", they will be in.
BYU probably gets to Santa Clara in Provo. I would like to see a tie.
Gonzaga is playing well and it will be a tough road trip for the Waves with them and Portland, but the Waves need both games.
 
BYU comes to St. Mary’s next week and will face a 1-0-9 formation. We could see a tie that could muddy up the standings.

Pacific with no wins could implement the same.

WCC title will come down the last week and there will certainly be upsets before then.

That's a lot of forwards. They must score a lot of goals. o_O
 
Interesting to see how the Pac-12 is shaking out. Colorado still unbeaten Stanford semi vulnerable. UCLA and USC looking to an end of. Season face off should be crazy. The Wildcats took it on the chin and are against the ropes. Utah with two shutouts and upsets of the wash teams. Where is this going
