2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

That was ugly and I’m going to the local Calabasas deli to drown my sorrows in food and wine. Hopefully the girls have a productive film session before Sunday’s challenge.

I guarantee you will see a better game out of the team as a whole against such a quality opponent.

They were clearly the better side but they kept giving Illinois chances. Let’s hope that they come ready to play for every game other than the one on the 19th.
 
Yeah, lots of ugly soccer to start the year. Watched SDSU v USF. Geez! What a downhill program on the Mesa. I’ll be surprised if they win 5 games this season.
Thought there was optimism for U o Pacific going in, but not so much so far.
UCLA always a good watch.

Duke and Santa Clara in OT at 2-2

That’s got to hurt. Santa Clara just can’t defend. 3-2 Duke in OT. It was a pretty even game between two good but not great teams. It was definitely entertaining but both teams have major defensive issues that the top 6-8 teams are going to feast on.

There are 4 teams that are head and shoulders above the rest. Another 3 teams that are right below those 4 and then there is an interchangeable group of about 20 teams right below that.

Santa Clara is facing the very real possibility that they could have a losing non conference record. They face UCLA, Arizona, Cal and Stanford in their next 5 games and based upon what I saw they are underdogs in all 4 of those games. They need to win at least half of them and win all of their remaining 4 out of conference games in order to finish 6-5 out of conference. That is quite a tall order for this defense. They are going to have to win the WCC in order to get into the tournament and BYU looks like the favorite in that league to me.

I have to say I’m very disappointed at the 0-3 start and it’s sure looking like a 2 win non conference record at best and 0 wins in the wcc.

She picked the wrong side to begin with.

Interesting you brought that up because my pet peeve since my kid joined comp soccer is picking the right side to use to your advantage whether it’s sun, wind, whatever. I wondered how that was decided and if the coaches ever discuss this beforehand.

That aside, there was a lot about that game that left me puzzled and none of it had to do with your player.

The loss to Vandy hurts because that was a winnable game against a team that is currently in the top 10. Pepperdine needs to turn it around because Stanford and UCLA are actual top 4 teams and they are pretty ruthless. UCLA is going to remember that spring game and Stanford is just a bunch of gangsters that will hang 7 goals on you and celebrate the whole time. I hope that they turn it around except for that game on the 19th.

Good luck to you and your player.

I wish I could argue but sadly you are right. Pepp will most likely have to win or share the WCC title to get in. NCAA crushing on SCU and BYU too hard every single year. I still like our chances.

Both SCU and Pepp have to hit a grand slam with either UCLA or Stanford.
SCU is slightly in better shape in conference by not having to go to Provo.
Looking like a 1.5 bid league this season...this weekend was terrible for the WCC.

And just like that OSU will be 3-0 this weekend, adding to depth of Pac12.
