2016-17 D1 Women's soccer thread!!!

How the heck is Colorado 3-0 in conference? Every time I watch them play they are being outplayed and look very much like a kickball team yet somehow they win. In all fairness the two Arizona schools haven't been impressive and they got super lucky in best Washington St but it's still amazing. I say they have run out of luck and they lose both games this weekend. Looking at their schedule they might not win another game especially finishing the last 5 games against the California schools and an underrated but very good Utah team.
 
I still believe that USC is the dark horse of the Pac-12. can't wait for the UCLA USC matchup...I think it could have an exciting outcome. Exciting enough to place a bet!

MAP, thanks for the acknowledgement.

Pack In the Polls:
NC State moved up in the RPI and NSCAA Poll after a road win against Boston College last weekend. The Pack is No. 21 in the RPI and is receiving 22 points in the NSCAA Poll – good for 27th in the nation. The team is ranked 21st in HeroSport's Bennett Rank, 24th in the Soccer America Poll and 27th in Top Drawer Soccer's Poll.

Freshmen Phenoms:
NC State freshmen have scored the last 11 goals for the Wolfpack and accounted for 67 percent of the team's points from 17 goals and 16 assists. The group also accounts for six starters and eighth point scorers. In total, 10 freshmen have earned playing time for the Pack this season.

That above is the most exciting information for my player. And they are truly humble young ladies that have been very accepting to my player.

But it is about to get really real...Louisville is doing well this season and it is an ACC road game, then starting Sunday, the next 4 matches are #9 Duke, #2 Florida State, #8 Virginia, and #12 Clemson. That is a brutal schedule, but that is the reality of life in the ACC. Hopefully Matthew is long gone by game time on Sunday night.

It should be a good game. A big contrast in style of play. We will find out tonight what is the truth. I'm not sure that their midfield can handle the Cardinal who have the best midfield in the country. Let's see if they can exploit the one weakness that I have seen in Stanford's lineup. My prediction for the LA vs Bay Area matchups tonight is 2-0 Stanford and 2-0 UCLA.

Pepperdine has a huge weekend to. They are getting respect from the coaches. The need to start putting it together now.

I always respect your commitment and I can't argue with the results that NC State has been putting up. I truly hope that it continues and yes it is a good thing for your player that the coach is unafraid to lean on players as freshmen.
 
Big game today for the Waves against USD and the BIG game against BYU. 4 points puts them in control of the WCC race. 6 points would be lovely. Go Waves!!

Congrats to Bernie's girl Lynn Williams for getting a call in to the full WNT. I bet you wished it was next week instead of this week so that Ashley Hatch would miss the game on Sunday! Hatch was one of 3 college players called in with the other two being Stanford players. Congrats to all of the fabulous young women!

Hey it says when the games are but not when they are leaving :-D Maybe she will need to leave or at least not play due to pre-camp rest requirements <insert wishful thinking>

She's not "My" girl, but I am a huge fan.
Im sure her parents are proud. She will add another dimension, or another gear, to the speed up top for the USWNT.
She can flat out fly.

BYU has plenty of other weapons.
I think (hope) Pepp watched what Santa Clara did defensively in Provo.

By girl I meant a girl from the team that you are cheering for. She must be something if she got the golden boot for the NWSL this season. Just more love to the mid majors. There are a lot of places that have talented players outside of the usual suspects.
 
Thursday predictions:

USC 3 Stanford 1
UCLA 2 over Cal 1
BYU 2 over LMU 0
USD 1 over Pepp 0

Sunday predictions:

USC 2 Cal 0
UCLA 1 Stanford 3
BYU 3 Pepp 0
USD 2 LMU 1

USC has some real talent, and if that team gels, could make a run at going all the way.
The SDSU transfer is as good a forward as you will see, and Mills is awesome in the defensive middle.
All the way back on page one of this thread, I said "dont count them out", and anyone who does is nuts.

I'm still not a believer. They can make me a believer today.
