I've watched a lot of college soccer the last couple of years and you'd be surprised how many teams/players DON'T score the goals they're supposed to. That's what set SC apart this year. Yes, after the first 15-20 minutes, a good portion of the play was in SC's defensive third, but even before the game and in the first 20, all Foudy talked about was how outstanding WV'S attack was and how shocking it was for WV to be down 1-0. All of us who've watched SC this year expected that and were not surprised. When Pruitt and Johnson came in there was no mention of them being "super subs" or something along the lines of what a luxury it is to bring both of these players off the bench, etc. To me Pruitt is the best forward in the country. I'm sure if Florida had a threesome where Savannah Jordan came off the bench, that depth would be mentioned. It was simply not emphasized and glossed over as if they were just any old subs coming off the bench. Again, to me, having three forwards of that caliber (when many teams have none), was something that distinguished SC from the rest. Anthony had a subpar tournament in my opinion, but when you have two others that can bail you out when one of them is down, it is a real difference maker. It is an absolute strength that wasn't acknowledged. I just don't see how anybody could miss it when it's been there the whole season. She obviously knew all of WV's strengths.
