2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

Interesting take. They dominated the stat sheet held 69% possession and had the top 5 rated players by InStat? If they play that way every game they won’t make the tournament. Did you not see Long Beach playing with everyone behind the ball? Did you not see a team that normally attempts to possess the ball play pure unadulterated kickball? Did you hear Mauricio telling his team to slow it down the whole second half? Personally I’m not worried. When they score early and teams are forced to play soccer they slice them up like salami. They know that everyone other than Stanford is going to play them that way. Not a big deal. They had a MAC Hermann candidate that did play at all and the first XI was missing 4 starters. The ladies feel like they can get it done when they need to. At the end of the day they won, nobody got hurt and they are headed into a big road trip feeling confident.

Good luck to you and your player.

Oh, trust me, not worried about the Bruins at all. Like I said, LB played defensively (behind the ball) the entire game. Honestly surprised that the % posession by UCLA wasn’t higher. They just didn’t look good with it, at all. I’m a fan. Just describing what I saw.
 
Colorado v Colorado state 0-0 not great for the Buffs. They have hi hopes but this is not how they wanted to get started

I missed the first 5 minutes of the game due to issues with the feed. I heard it was a counter.

The rest of game left me feeling I like Harbo in the middle with settles but I think #6 could breath some life into the 10.

I admit I’m panicking and I’ll see if I can get an appointment with a psychiatrist for a prescription of some kind if anti anxiety pill.

Speed, Ricky, lion, I’ll be the parent that looks dazed and confused next weekend.

We got a long way to go, but right now, the three peat looks like a must.

Early rivalry games are tough to predict. They can go either way, even when one side is more advanced than the other.

UCLA had the ball, but Long Beach had the two one v ones in the game. UCLA keeper had to come up BIG to keep her team from losing. Will be interesting to see how other teams play UCLA moving forward. I've only seen Long Beach play possession style, so I was surprised to see them change tactics.

In your defense, I don't think many people would have predicted some of those upsets.

Funny because I remember you saying the same thing last season and yet there they were in the National championship game. They will be back. Can you say the same?

Don’t stress. It’s a long season. Pepperdine will be fine.

No need to hit the panic button just yet GK. Your DD is playing great and made several awesome saves! We are definitely seeing the value of Visalli in the middle last year. Hard to replace that intensity, defense and playmaking...
 
Don't want to read too much into a game vs UC Davis, but Stanford was missing Macario, was without the 4 players who just played in the U20 World Cup, and lost starting forward Madison Haley to an apparent groin injury during the game...and still won 5-0. Their defenders had more goals (2) than their GK had saves (1). This team is DEEP.
