Was USC having a great year?
Did they win big games at home?
Was this their year in the series for a home game?

If you can answer yes to all of the above questions, then you can understand my point.

The USC administration doesn't give a crap about women's soccer. They rent the stadium for 20K so that soccer will go away or be happy, instead of making plans for a real facility like a real soccer program with National Championship history would. It's not an excuse for the loss, UCLA was clearly the better team. But the home field advantage turned into a neutral field for both teams.

I agree McAlister Field is the worst soccer field. What is the field demensions 100 x 55 yards?

To Bernie's point SC had 7 shots on goal compared to only 2 for UCLA and SC picked up 6 corner kicks compared to 4 for UCLA. I didn't see TOP but I saw the game and it was very even overall despite the score and the SOG and CK stats.

UCLA gets outshot almost every game because they POSSESS the ball and look for the extra pass in the final third instead of the shot from 25 yards out. Shots at half time were practically even. USC had 8-9 shots in the last 20 minutes mostly of the long range type. The players and people at the stadium know what happened. I understand how butt hurt their supporters are especially when they see the cavalry coming for UCLA that is going to make the games very uncompetitive in the next few years.

Frustration...sense I?

Yet... I do understand.

Did u expect differently?

After all....we know what sport gets the spotlight.

Hint....(it ain't women's futbol)

Resolve - attend an academic institution that also has top tier athletics.

Suggestion - there's a good 1 just off Sunset/Veteran, they've got a mini stadium, bleachers, lights and all.;)

This whole match had me nervous. So many chances not converted. I was having a flashback to USF vs. Pacific from last year.

That said, congrats to Pepperdine & Coach Ward and his staff.

This team is building.
I was really worried about this game.
The hardest things to overcome, sometimes are things we expect to be easy.
Pacific literally had nothing to lose, and played a great game.
Pepperdine had everything to lose, and gutted it out.
Third WCC Championship for the Waves was "earned, not given".

Should have not even needed a PK, but then again, UCLA should have beaten Utah.
"Should" is a word that is over rated.

Again, I'm not here to defend UCLA. UCLA is building something. It would be hard to understand if your team is trying to make due with what you got. Utah and Colorado played something that I wouldn't call soccer. Playing 10 behind the ball is just trying to get a result. At the end of the day, that is what their coaches are paid to do, but I would never have my daughter play for someone that just wanted to win at whatever cost. If I was a UCLA parent, I would feel pretty good about getting at least 1 national championship in the next few years. Not to mention, I've got an A student in college. Seems like a good situation for me.
 
Sheriff Joe, I've got you blocked but I am sure you are saying something stupid based upon NoGoals replies. All I can say is, your kid probably sucks and she'll never be in the same orbit as mine. Have a nice day douche.

Contrary to what a couple on this forum believe, I do not support USC nor does my dd play there. I was just pointing out facts. When a team is hot and you mess with their mojo because you haven't done right by them, things like this happen. UCLA would have had a much harder time beating USC at McAllister Field (as bad as it may be, it's what USC is used to). Ask North Carolina and Stanford. This senior led USC team could have used a win over UCLA to go into the NCAA tournament full steam ahead.

UCLA has a stadium, lights, bleachers, etc...and the last time I went to watch a game there, the band was playing behind the field, practicing for the real sport they care about on campus, drowning out any type of atmosphere that's hard enough to generate with a track around it.

Very few truly care about Women's Soccer the way it should be cared about. Even UNC with all their NCs plays on a crap field and facility that dates back to the 1930s.

Are you trying to fool yourself that you don't support USC?
 
Long Beach St. plays nice soccer. The second goal was a nice display of possession. They are not a team that I would want to face in the first round.
