We talking about Rankings

Rankings?

I always talk rankings and anything else related to women's soccer. It more interesting than what is going on with my football team. Check this out. Watch how much hardware they collect by season's end... A little SoCal love. A girl that grew up in Oside and one born in Irvine and raised in Lake Forest/San Diego...

I don't understand how $C ties Utah and moves up 3 ranks to #7...

Agreed. I watched Texas A&M this weekend. You had them at #9 . . . more accurate than the United Soccer Coaches' ranking (23) for sure. Ally Watt was an animal for A&M. They could really make some noise in the tournament. And I may be a Vol fan from way back, but you're right. That mirage won't last too long once the meat of the conference schedule hits.

Texas A&M controlled the game against Florida and the result was legit. I like them to win the SEC. The Vols have that Jamaican WNT forward that gives teams trouble but the top teams can handle that kind of direct play.

Ally Watt is a beast.
 
Went to SDSU-UNLV last weekend. Really impressed with the soccer from SDSU (although they lost 1-0 on an own goal). They dominated the game and played some great soccer. They had some passing combos that had us raving. Their young players are good. 7 fresh or soph starters. (Freshman midfielder from Surf so good and freshman forward from nor cal so so good). I loved their soccer. UNLV was average. The skill/soccer savvy gap between the two teams is large. Really stupid result that left me hating soccer. (And the reffing was terrible. Ref missed two takedowns in the box and a clear handball in the box. SDSU should be livid. The three woso games I have seen live have had some iffy reffing, btw)

But I do love San Diego and the view from that field at SDSU and they had some good tri tip at the game so I made out ok on the day.

I saw UCLA-SDSU and was impressed with how Aztecs have grown since then (and they weren't awful at UCLA...Bruins first two weekends were lights out in finishing).

Anyways, just giving my .02 which is probably worth less than that.

That freshman midfielder was a big coup for them. She was all set to go to Cal. I wonder what happened (I know that her old coach left for Utah Valley so maybe that had something to do with it?). She is definitely a good player. Her and that forward Utush were their best two players that I saw. I like Mike Frieszen as a coach.

I have never been able to figure out why SDSU isn't as strong as the big 4 California D1's. San Diego is a beautiful city, the campus is in a nice location (and just a short trolley ride from downtown, the beach, PB) it has solid academics, nice facilities and is in a soccer loving community. It's one of those things that make you go hmmm.
