Just out of curiousity, why does everyone feel the need to use initials when speaking of someone? Whether you are calling someone out or complementing someone, I don't see the necessity. TM? KP? I don't feel like looking up rosters to figure it out.

KK22, when you post on here it is searchable by the major search engines. Therefore if you post a player's entire name the post will show up in google searches for example. Thus as a courtesy many posters use players' initials to minimize possible public shaming of innocent individual soccer players and coaches etc. These are college kids playing for fun primarily. Many would be horrified to google their names and see what some yahoo on here posted about them.

Now that makes complete sense. Never thought of that. Thanks SoccerO.

Pep needs to iron some things out, but all things considered, not a bad result to come away with a tie.
They need to get things squared away this week.

I saw some great potential starting the 80th minute. When they are able to start off playing at that pace and accuracy then it's going to get really good.
 
My DD and I went to watch the game between Pep and VT. Pretty balanced game I thought. Although, I did think Pepperdine showed more offensively than VT. Both back lines were solid. Honestly thought Pepperdine was lucky to escape with a tie after giving up so many corners. VT relied to heavily on one forward to make things happen and got shut down routinely.

After watching s.clara vs Golden Bears, I now am #17 newest fan....That girl can ball ⚽️
 
UNLV 5-1 Wright State

Watching these games with my DD and hearing all the success from all your DDs makes us so anxious for next season! Also awesome to see all the '17s that she knows playing at the next level.

Good luck to everyone next weekend!

Yeah, Hillary Beal YNT GK and another Slammers player. Both didn't get in yesterday though.

My DD was very happy for her freshmen roommate who played 22 or so minutes yesterday against Michigan.

They actually have HB and 2 Slammers players. HB back from injury in West Virginia game and played 90 minutes today. Michigan completes clean sheet weekend with 4-0 win over Idaho. Now on to Ole Miss! Go Blue!!
