USC - UCLA should be a great match. UCLA perhaps with more dynamic attack, but their back four defending is pretty poor so I can see them scoring a few but also giving up an even amount. Will be very entertaining regardless!!

Incorrect. How many games of either team have you watched? This game will be one sided.
We are going to that game. Should be fun. Definitely a contrast of styles.

I’ve seen both teams play a good amount. I wouldn’t be surprised if UCLA scores 3 or 4 goals even as they are very dynamic offensively and win comfortably. I also would not be surprised if they give up the same amount as their back line is not the level of other elite teams. You don’t have to agree. I am just speaking based on what I’ve seen.

I’m not sure what you have seen but you are in the minority opinion. UCLA’s backline has 2 MAC Hermann trophy candidates, the 1st pick in the NWSL draft, the most defensive player of the week Winners this season, the 3rd best GAA and shutout percentage, 9 shutouts (ranked 12th in the nation) and a backline with every single starter having won DPOW (all 4 will be 1st rounders) and the only one in the conference with more than 2 players or wins. I’m not sure what you are comparing them to but I have to ask again have you seen them play? Not to mention that the backline has 9 goals.
Give me some concrete examples, stats and teams to back up your opinion please.

Other than bragging rights, will this game matter much?

Umm let’s see, both teams can still win the championship plus winner is a likely 2 seed in the tournament. I’d say it matters a little bit.
I think so. For example Alabama will be playing LSU in a few weeks. Despite being in the same conference there are national rankings and a playoff berth at stake. I expect an emotional and combative game. Therefore I think the UCLA vs USC game will rise above bragging rights. It will set the stage for what comes next.

That's why I say MAP knows more about women's soccer than anyone in here.
Great question if they will or will not as its off campus. Either way parking lot 7 is a tailgate zone.

FACT. Your daughter chokes in big games. All they have to do is drive the ball at the right back and she will eventually choke. Two national championship games prove the point.
