Very well! Arguably, she is in the best physical shape I’ve ever seen her in. She takes the Powers test on Wednesday so we’ll see how soon she’ll be back on the field.

SILVER ELITE
Geographically balanced - 13 east of Mississippi River. Hoping to see Pepperdine rise as season goes on, and for the sake of the depth of a great overall NCAA season, would like to see a Penn State play to potential, along with Virginia. Notre Dame intriguing with their roster as well. Wondering how USC will come together with their transfers. Could be a powerful team. UCI, USD, CSFullerton, and UCSD all with recruits of solid SoCal talent maybe will dip in and out of this list as year wears on. BYU draws amazing crowds, will they deliver? Appreciate the post.

I will not take the bait that is ranking another WCC team over Pepperdine
Santa Clara returns more than the Waves do. Luckily the game is in Malibu and they can settle it on the field. I am curious how they are going to replace that little midfielder who generated most of their offense. Either way good luck to you and your player.
If you don't count Penalties, the top goalscorer on the team was a Freshman. If you do, all but 1 of the top 5 goalscorers on the team were Freshman. I think they are going to be OK

I think that they will be fine too which is why I have them where they do. They have a cupcake schedule outside of UCLA, U$C, BYU and Santa Clara. They will likely finish 15-3-1 in the regular season. They just better hope that they don’t get bracketed with UCLA again because this year is going to be a little different.

Penn State is going to be a monster but I am curious as to where their goals are going to come from against the top few teams which all are going to be able to put the ball in the net. They have back to back games against West Virginia and UCLA early that are the only true tests on a pretty tame schedule. Those games are going to be the true indicator of what kind of team they have.
Virginia is going to be a very good team and is a dark horse contender for the ACC title. They play nice soccer and have a great coach that gets top talent every year. Notre Dame has plenty of talent so it will be interesting to see what the new coach does.
Regarding the University of $outh Central they have enough talent to be dangerous and a coach that is willing to adapt their style to the personnel that he has available. As always they could flame out in the second round or make it to the College Cup. As always I am interested in what goes on across town.
As always I cheer for every SoCal team other than those guys across town and hope that they all have great seasons. Good luck to you and your player.

I’d say Duke, South Carolina and West Virginia are too high although all top 25 teams. And Georgetown, Ohio State and Rutgers shouldn’t even be in the top 25. I think that $C is vastly underrated on this too. I am very curious to see how they gel. Based on their decision to head into the swamps early this season and match the Bruins’ games against Florida and Florida State, it seems that their coach believes they have one of the nations best teams. There are conceivable situations where 3 PAC 12 teams could get #1 seeds especially based upon how the three top teams in the conference have scheduled in their respective preseasons.
This is going to be an interesting season. Keep up that RPI.

Wow! Makes more sense now why the head coach and the top assistant were not at their own College ID camp recently. Also why they failed to show up at Silverlakes to recruit.
