That’s a good possibility. San Diego has some fast forwards (mason and Moses) and could catch Santa Clara looking ahead.

A realistic outcome would be a BYU tie to SC. BYU got up for Stanford at home and pushed them. No question there will be 3000+ releasing their tension at that game.

Plus playing in altitude is not easy.

This is the 26th all-time meeting between Gonzaga and Pepperdine. The Waves lead the series, 18-5-2. The Waves have an 11-2-0 advantage in the meetings in Spokane. Pepperdine has won six of the last seven meetings, with a 1-1 draw coming in Spokane in 2014. The Waves coasted to a 4-0 win in Malibu last season. Bri Visalli recorded a hat trick for Pepperdine. The Waves outshot GU, 21-7. Pepperdine has won the last three meetings by a score of 13-0. Gonzaga's last win in the series was a 1-0 overtime home victory on Oct. 15, 2010. Pepperdine won the first all-time meeting, 4-1, in Malibu on Nov. 1, 1993.

- Pepperdine won its third straight game Sunday, 2-1, at home over Loyola Marymount.
- The Waves are unbeaten in their last four games, and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 matches, including a win over then-ranked No. 4 Santa Clara.
- Pepperdine has outscored its opponents, 13-4, over the last 10 matches.

- The Zags are unbeaten in seven of their last nine contests overall.
- Prior to last Friday's draw at USF, Gonzaga won three consecutive conference games for the first time since 2014, when the Bulldogs opened league play, 3-0.

Gonzaga (8-4-3, 3-2-1) vs. No. 25 Pepperdine (9-6-1, 4-1-1)

Sam?
 
Santa Clara scores 11 seconds in to ot and looked to be well offside. Like to se that again but nobody seems to want to show a replay
 
SC over Colorado 1-0, buffs w golden opportunity to draw at death of the match

Ucla over Utah 5-1

Stanford over Washington 2-0

Arizona over Oregon State 3-0

Washington State over Cal 4-2

Arizona State over Oregon 2-1, OT... another close but no cigar for the Ducks
 
If Pepperdine and BYU win out I think three teams go now. One WCC team will knock off a pac 12 school in the second round.

Portland is the only team that can spoil the party at this point.

I am not so sure about either of those statements. One based upon RPI and the other based upon the PAC 12 being so strong this year. If it weren’t for Oregon State and Cal their conference RPI would be much higher and the PAC 12 has 3 of the 5 best teams and will get at least 2 college cup participants and might get 3 if $C doesn’t get upset by another kickball team like Baylor.
 
I think that for either BYU or Pepperdine to go dancing their RPI’s are going to have to be 41 or better and they better hope for no upsets in the conference tournaments. If I had to bet I would say that Pepperdine goes if they win out and BYU doesn’t based upon their head to head results. Pepperdine has to win out for any hope. BYU might have to large of a hill to climb .
 
I think that ASU’s coach might deserve coach of the year in the conference if they make the playoffs. I thought that he was crazy getting rid of a bunch of his players and bringing in a huge recruiting class that was about half international players and insisting that they were going to play possession. However, they are playing pretty good soccer and they are going to be dangerous in the tournament and next season.
 
As we all know the best team doesn’t always win. The team that wins is usually the team that has a few players that make the most clutch plays in the most crucial moments.

Obviously a really good team gets many more chances and if u finish, well it’s a blowout. The way st. Mary’s played Pepperdine will be the blueprint for how to squeak by a Stanford or UCLA in round 1. Pack it in and play kickball to a fast forward and hope for a mistake.

If I were Stanford or UCLA I would like my chances. Let’s just hope that the committee puts them on opposite sides of the bracket. If they do that then it will again be a Cardinal vs Bruins final.
 
The PAC 12 is being underrated even though they had the best non conference record. The conference will have a minimum of 4 teams in the sweet 16 and might have 3 college cup teams (I hope so because beating $C for the second time there would be sweet). Although I am cheering for $C to lose in the first round. I am starting to really like Arizona State...

Don’t need to look farther than the FSU- Miami game yesterday. Shots 24-1 to FSU. Final score 1-0 Miami
 
I just hope that everyone keeps believing the rankings and thinks that the Bruins are #8. Especially the Trojans. I don’t think that the game Sunday will be close. They rested all of the key players and Colorado went hard for 90.
