2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

Absolutely brutal day for injuries in the PAC 12. Sophia Smith with a broken leg is done. Not sure about Macario Halley and Xiao at Stanford. Then WSU loses their best in Haro who was taken from the field in an ambulance with what looked to be a possible major head/neck injury. Prayers for her and Smith
Prayers indeed. I know the physical and emotional toll all too well. I pray these players have a speedy recovery and are able to return to the pitch better than before.
 
She's (Flemming) a great player, but so is Sanchez.
My point was not to denigrate Flemming, but to highlight the other great talent on that team.
I took my kid to watch UCLA when she was in HS because they get many of the best players in the region, nationally, and internationally.

Fleming sets the tempo. Not everything she does shows up on the stat sheet. They all feed off of her energy and her and Mace being there allows Sanchez to spend the entire game either 1v1 or unguarded. The cross field switches are much more effective with Fleming there because you get Sanchez, Mace or a wideback 1v1 or unguarded because if you don’t clog the middle with Fleming in the game she and Villacorta will carve you up straight up the gut.

STFU, you really don't know anything but think you do. It is funny and pathetic.
 
Hope all these injured girls recover well.

Injuries loom large as we near the end here.

For the WCC it looks like BYU is gaining steam and gets Santa Clara in Provo, which will be extremely hostile.

The Jesuit's vs. Joseph Smith. It may be a battle of biblical proportion.

Flemming is a fantastic player.
Villacorta is one of my favorite players in college soccer.

I have told her family multiple times (even when she was coming off the bench and only playing 30 minutes or so) that I thought Viviana was my 2nd favorite player next to my own because of the fact that she has every tool in the box, works hard and is a GREAT teammate. When she first got called up to the U18’s and was still committed to San Diego I told my daughter that she should be going to UCLA or Stanford and that she was too good of a player for the small time.

She is the most underrated player in the conference if not the country. She will probably win the team’s MVP this season.
 
I agree.
She is an incredible player.
She is as valuable defensively as she is offensively, and she has all the skills checked off down the list.

It’s more obvious when Fleming isn’t in the game just like how Sanchez’s abilities are more apparent when Mace and her aren’t there. Personally I prefer them all to be on the field to be honest. I am really looking forward to Sunday and the rest of the stretch run.
 
I get your excited to have your two players back but excited to watch them play OSU???? I attempted to watch the game v USC And it was unwatchable. Got thru 20 min and turned it off. OSU just can’t play at this level the fact that they beat Cal says more to the Bears struggles than anything. This game will be 5-0 at half
 
@Ricky Fandango nice win by the Waves against Santa Clara by the way. I need your girls to win out for their sake and the Bruins sake. You guys might be the difference between a 2 and a 3 seed. That’s an extra 2 home games although to be honest there are only 2 teams that concern me.

I’m just excited to see them start building chemistry for a tough trip to the mountains for the third year in a row and the most exciting game of the season against the Legion of Doom.

The last two months have built some character. I’m looking forward to being able to overwhelm teams. Plus I miss seeing Fleming do something jaw dropping and Sanchez getting to be unmarked or 1v1 on the wing and having Mace’s ability to chase down balls. I’m sorry but I am going to savor this last regular season home game sir. Good luck to your player this weekend.

They got their backs against the wall.
Too many games not finished off early on.
I hope the great wave in the sky gets them to the promised land.

They really turned it on against BYU.
I hope they keep it up.
