Ask Chris. He must know something. USF didn’t lose much. Pepperdine lost significant contributors. All the talk is a moot point . Season starts Thursday and results will surely guide the conversation here. Good luck

No need to ask. He’s doing the same thing every other prognosticator of the WCC does; flipping a coin between Santa Clara and BYU for WCC champion. Pepperdine is never picked to win it and somehow we’re always in the hunt at the end. Mark my words. Pepperdine will win the WCC this year barring injury and I hope and pray that every player on every team stays healthy. Best of luck to you all.

according to the UCI website starting played lots of minutes for both and UC hung in there.

You really can’t read anything into these preseason scrimmages. Teams are testing out different combinations of players and also trying to give everybody some time on the pitch. I think coaches are also trying to protect players from injury so that plays into things as well. Everything from this point forward will really tell the tale.

Should be fun! Looks like no one is expecting much from us.

You might win a game in league. Or not. I guess that would be a big improvement on last year. And, if UOP does happen to win any games this year, I'm sure we'll hear all about from you coach.

?? Just a UOP supporter. It would be really sad if any college coach spent time in this forum.

It'll be interesting to see if Stanford maintains that status. They didn't just lose players... they lost a lot of good players and I'm not convinced the replacements are battle tested.

Yes, they'll score goals, but they lost their keeper and those 3 defenders... ah, what are their names... Davidson, Cook and McGrady? They also lose their 2 best midfielders. I'm not saying 'grab a tissue' for Paul... but Smith and Macario can score when all they have to do is wait for ball.
