Signature loss for NC State! Last week seems like a fluke. We will see. Virginia and Florida St. aren't there usual selves so it will be interesting to see who wins the regular season and tournament titles. NC State should shoot to make the ACC tournament and that will be a success for them.

Should have been 5-0. They subbed a TON and took their foot off the gas once they went up 2-0 in the first 8 minutes. ASU looked outclassed in the first half but looked better in the second half as UCLA subbed pretty liberally. Pugh was at the game so this might be a preview of what is in the future for the rest of the Pac 12.

They are going to be a problematic next year.

Signature loss? When the #18 team in the country beats an unranked side by a score of 1-0? Anyone that knows anything about soccer would never call that a signature loss. And Virginia is #7 in the country...FSU is #15. They aren't their usual selves?
And if you want to go back and watch the match, you will see a perfect example of your explanation in action. Notre Dame came out big in the first 10 mins, then it was all Wolfpack in the rest of the half, until a defensive lapse allowed a quick counter goal with under 5 mins left in the 1st half. 2nd half was played nearly equal with the Irish taking a defensive posture. Shots were about the same with many of Notre Dame's coming in the first part of the first half. NC State had the advantage in corners 8-3, showing the pressure that was being applied to Irish defense throughout the 90 mins.
And yes, there will probably be more L's than W's over the next few weeks in an incredibly tough conference schedule, but for a program that you described in the old forum as a "perennial cellar dweller", they have already had a successful showing. I would be thrilled to see them pick up 3 more conference wins this year, and reload for next year. 14 players saw the pitch last night in beautiful Raleigh, NC, and 11 of them were freshman or sophomores. It is a very young team, which will only improve in the upcoming years.

Okay so now the loss is no big deal. Hmm a little different tone this week. I have seen Virginia and FSU play and trust me they aren't nearly the same teams that they were last year but you would have had to have been watching them LAST YEAR to know that. I did not watch the game as I had other games that interested me significantly more so I didn't see how it went. What was predictable is the outcome. It's great that they played 14 players but that means they have an extremely short bench or the coach isn't that confident in the other players. 11 sophomores and freshmen playing isn't so good a sign for your player when she gets there. I wouldn't fret though. They will likely be a cellar dweller still and she will get an opportunity to help them.
I have seen their "star" freshman play in ECNL the last couple of years and they are nothing special. All athlete no touch or technique. What you would expect a cellar dweller to recruit.
I love Fridays!!

Just like the outcome of the match against the Tarheels was predictable too, right? Just like the outcome of the Tarheels/UCLA match too, right? All too predictable. You just hate it when an upstart throws off your little world...and the way you think things "should" be.
And their "star" freshmen weren't anywhere near the ECNL last year...they were in Germany playing for Bayern Munich. Unless of course, the ECNL is taking their award winning discipline overseas now.

u sure bout that??.....source say she spent a summer bk in u-littles co-captaining the Ecnl/striker team u used to jump/dance/Pom-Pom about.
I swear this is dejavu Friday....
Not a fan of the penalty called in the first half to give the Tarheels a penalty kick and a 1-0 lead. Would like the refs on this board to take a look and give me their opinion.
I thought BYU may have been vulnerable early in the season when they lost at home to Nebraska.
I think all it did was piss em off!
They are an absolute machine right now.

Cali you should put down the crack pipe. If you really want to compare NC State and UCLA we can starting with the weak players that NC State has and that they recruit. An upstart throwing off my world? How about an idiot who is in for a reality check in two years. You are so far gone that it is ridiculous. I am going to hammer you on the Sheep Pack all season now.
Their "star" freshmen played for Maryland United and CASL last year idiot. Nice try. You are getting more and more silly.
Good luck with the "first choice" school.

I like Gomes she creates most of that teams opportunities.
She is one of my favorite players in college soccer.
A dynamic threat on offense.

See a pattern, raw raw Legends, raw raw National League, raw raw NC State! I recall he use to hype up Oregon and Indiana when his DD was looking at those schools, but no longer after his DD committed to NC State.

Cali, I know you are probably use to being high up the corporate ladder, but you need to learn your place in the college soccer world.
I would never talk trash about any of the perennial powers; UCLA, Stanford, UVA, UNC, FSU, ND, WVU and USC to name a few.

She has the ability to beat most defenders 1v1 and it creates a lot of opportunity for Hatch and the other girls. Rockwood does an amazing job with that team. Good luck against them. I think that the Waves can pull it off if they play like they played in the first half against UCLA and finish an opportunity or two.
