2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

Is that douche MAP still licking his/her wounds? I thought he/she would come out and play by now. I guess you all will have to agree the PAC-12 is not best conference in women's college soccer. Take off those rose-colored glasses you Cali homer's and enjoy the ACC final. :p

I think the best team won.
FSU plays a far more attractive style of soccer, imho.
To be honest, the semi between GT and NC was hard to watch. Just had the ball bouncing everywhere with players right on top of each other, and the winning goal just right up the gut.
I do give credit to NC for being extremely good at what they do athletically. Their forwards pressure the ball relentlessly, and they have outstanding outside backs that are very fast and technical.
FSU had a hard time with the pressure at first but played the ball around in the back enough to tire NC out just enough to open it up for one goal.
Great game with contrasting styles, and a huge win for the National Champs FSU.
 
I agree Ricky. Seminoles play a much more pleasing style of futbol, but there is a lot of tenacity coached into those Tar Heels. I got to watch my kid play against both of these teams this year and it was interesting to hear her take on both teams afterwards. She holds a lot of respect for the National Champions, and she was blown away by the pace and athleticism of UNC. Both teams have some horses to fill in for their respective graduates, so 2019 is going to be another fun year.

ACC really is deep in talent and teams but I think the real difference is coaching. The ability to bring players together, teach them to set the team and program objectives as the primary focus and then keep that focus throughout a long season is paramount. Congrats to the ACC for getting through with two teams and winning the national championship.

FSU has a lot to thank North Carolina for this year - not only laying an egg in the final, but also taking out Stanford's co-MVP earlier in the season.

The Noles are quite the womens sports powerhouse these days. Maybe the womens soccer program will be able to keep their field afterall.

UNC had some field issues this season, but they should be on their new home field on their campus this fall. I didn't know that FSU was having any field concerns. NC State played there three days after Hurricane Michael hit, and it was in really good shape, including the press box and offices.

They have a great field and location... so good that the football program has taken notice.
 
Couldn't figure where to drop this question but the most experienced posters keep up on this one. Does anyone have any insight on college rosters with goalkeepers? When we first started the process it seemed like three was mostly where each roster found its limit, but in our situation recently we have noticed coaches who have been open to the DD even though there would already be 3-4 keepers on the roster. I know it comes down to "the best player will play", but I wonder, do coaches try to limit the numbers? How does that situation work?
