The joke is you for assuming what I was referring to. It wasn’t about UCLA’s hustle on the last play. It was the fact that instead of just kicking it over the end line to kill the clock the defender turned into mace trying to clear it wide. Situational awareness that is taught at u 12

How UCLA look?

I know it’s early, but WOW! Not impressed by the start. UCLA did what great teams typically do, win despite poor showing from many. Fleming was more than handled by LB. Nobody jumped off the page as a superior player as far as I’m concerned. LB played a primarily defensive game, and did very well at it. If not for a huge blunder by the ASU center back, game would have ended in a tie. SECONDS LEFT, CLEAR THE F-ing BALL! As useless the mids and forwards were for UCLA, I was waiting for #5 to come up and win it.
The defense is solid as always. Kansas scored on a mistake off a punt and finished what was really their only good chance, but pepperdine really controlled the midfield.
I see a pattern early in every season where the team is set to go on defense but it takes awhile for the offense to figure it out.
Its a creative process that will come around. Lots of talent.
Pepperdine won the conference back to back for the first time in program history last season.
Its going to be a real battle to make it three in a row.
Its tough to travel and win, especially to start the season on the road.
Things will sort out.

Like the first game playing without several starters. They had moments of brilliance, moments of rust and moments where they look like a top 2 team. At the end of the day they won, nobody got hurt and they figured some things out and rested some people before a big road trip.

They will be fine. I’m looking forward to the annual battle.

I saw that your player was the highest rated player for the game by InStat. 82% pass completion. 14/18 challenges won. 6/8 tackles won and 17 ball recoveries. Quite the game for her. Definitely needs some help because that is a winning effort.
Great stats. Are those public?

I PM’d you.
No need to be secretive. Regurgitated from a twitter post from Chris Henderson. Credit where credit is due. He is very worth a follow @chris_awk

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.

Do you just wake up with a stick up your ass or are you just a Mitch? You obviously are a pu$$y so why bother? Nothing better to do or are you just a bitter bitch?
Simply sharing information that others might be interested in. That’s why people read this forum
Truly interesting that the top rated player per InStat was the UCLA goalkeeper.
No. I wake up as a perfectly normal person who enjoys good soccer You on the other hand wake up as a supreme Dick. Have a nice day
Thanks for the Instat info.
I had never seen that site before.
Thanks for the twitter link.
Good follow.
