My bet is Drake Stadium and an attempt at breaking the previous NCAA attendance record that they set 2 years ago.

I have been to Phantom Carriage. Very interesting decor. I have had Smog City beers as they are carried pretty extensively in LA. I am curious about Monkish and will have to try them out. Living in San Diego spoils you when it comes to breweries. You literally can’t go anywhere in the county without being a stone’s throw from a brewery. Not quite like Paso Robles is for wineries (over 400 and my spouse and I like their wines better than Napa) but you could go to a different brewery or brewpub everyday for almost 7 months straight.

PC does have a crazy interior. I’m there once a week and it has grown on me. They have added another lounge area and changed their brewing staff. Their beer has never been better. Monkish has a cult following. Yes, SD has a huge selection of small breweries. I’ve been a Stone fan since their inception back in 93. It’s the same out here with small breweries making an imprint. Paso is great. Los Olivos is a great town to stay in too.

Wow! Why would she leave when she clearly had the program headed in the right direction?

In principle, at least, she has had the same University resources available as the men's coach has had (perhaps more, because the NCAA allows the women to have more in order to help balance the big elephant in the room - the D1 football team), but the women's team performance in recruiting and competition has lagged behind that of the men's team as long as I have been following the programs (2008 and later).
 
Great coach, my kid had a bunch of time with her at ODP but this begs to wonder....is this something to do with the Singer thing??? I know UC is doing their own internal investigation and this seems to be out of nowhere

Pure speculation. But any coach that got involved in these shenninigans is sweating bricks.
 
Can we please leave this thread to soccer related topics? Any D1 woman’s coaching job in the state of California that isn’t Stanford, Cal, UCLA or $C is a tough one.

Why are those 4 jobs not tough also?

You can recruit top shelf talent fairly easily at all 4 of them because they are all top 25 academic schools with 9 figure athletic department budgets and desirable locations. If you can’t at least make the tournament and win a game pretty much every year you are doing something wrong. With a good coach a Sweet 16 appearance every year is expected and the College Cup should be a realistic goal with those programs every year.

Basically you have to really be screwing up not to succeed at least to a certain level at those schools. Heck Ali K who was a horrible coach even won a national championship.

Spoke with a friend whose daughter plays at UC Davis. The coaches relationship with her players deteriorated to the point where it was felt this was no longer a good fit.
