A replay of the national championship game.
I disagree. The match of the season will happen Sunday when Stanford takes on Santa Clara. UCLA and USC are secondary at this point. I can’t wait for this one
We’re all about the underdog but Santa Clara may not have the legs to hang with them based on this.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – In a matchup of top-10 teams, No. 9 Santa Clara women's soccer fell at No. 8 Texas A&M 4-0 Sunday evening on the road.
After a scoreless first half, the Aggies (6-0) offense came alive and scored a goal in the 48th minute to take the lead before scoring three more in the span of four minutes midway through the period.

Hate to break the news to you but Stanford is going to steamroll Santa Clara. 3-0 or 3-1 will be the score. Santa Clara is a good team but North Carolina dominated them and aren’t on the same level as Stanford. I wouldn’t consider UCLA and $C secondary. I will guarantee that Stanford has those games circled.
I'm sure it has to do with strength of schedule and our finish last year. Everyone we lost to was "good" according to the Coaches Poll, RPI.

Domination. Does that mean more shots? More possession? 2 years ago Stanford dominated but lost to Santa Clara.
Pepperdine will have to win the WCC to make the dance and that will include beating both BYU and SC, who are both very good this year.

Yes, that's the word on the street
One could argue that a conference title is still possible without beating both of those teams (two and three way ties have happened!) but you never know!

The stats say Santa Clara was fortunate to win and most people including myself that saw the game thinks that North Carolina controlled the game but couldn’t finish. You know that soccer is a sport where many times the better team doesn’t win.
MAP--going on record here after seeing them live today: UCLA can't touch USC this year. I can't wait until November 2nd!
Watched that game late last night. USC put the ball in the back of the net 6 times. UCLA got one in with 2 seconds left on the clock. I’d have to agree with you

LOL!

LOL! Your forwards are overrated and you only have one good midfielder. Keep feeling yourselves. You might not even best UDub or Cal! You might want to check LP’s stats from last year...
I’m actually glad that you guys think that way. November 2nd is really gonna hurt.

They are going to be crushed emotionally. $C has no bench, a bad defense, overrated forwards that have never performed against the UCLA defenders, and only one good midfielder.
My friend it’s going to be funny. The real problem is $C is going to need to win the game to hold off Colorado, Arizona or Wazzu for 3rd.

Injuries, depth and consistent solid play for the duration on an entire game will decide the Pac-12. It’s clear Stanford checks all three boxes.
I’m concerned about USC. They dominated USD but the final score of 3-2 tells me despite the domination there are periods of mental let downs. Same goes for UCLA.
Careful. Colorado and Oregon are better this year. And of course wazzu and UW are tough.
Cal, asu and Utah not that great this year.

You have yet to see UCLA play at full strength for more than 20 minutes. Just wait.
With all due respect Colorado hasn’t played anybody and Oregon isn’t in UCLA’s zip code even with their improvements. Like it or not it’s the usual 3 horse race in the PAC 12.

@CaliKlines where is your post about non-conference records at now? Seems like the ACC might be the 3rd best conference and based on what happens tomorrow the PAC 12 looks to finish at worst 2nd and possibly first. Not bad for a top heavy conference.

I’m cheering for them to be the disruptive team in the conference. UCLA believes that them and Wazzu cost them a #1 seed last year. That won’t be a mistake that they make this year. They both have plenty of talent and a game plan.
