2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

Cal was definitely on the back foot most of the game but should've scored quite a few times...., but then again so should've UW. Cal was never first to the ball or even second ball and hence the outcome. Unless they come out fired up to play like they did UCLA, then these are the results.

I was really bummed to miss that game (I live close). Great win for retiring UW coach, Lesle Gallimore, a real pioneer in the women's game (who, while an undergrad at Cal, pretty much started that program).
 
Watched CU vs OU. CU was clearly the better team and had ample opportunities to put that game away including in OT. They played a lot of subs and got punished when they were in and it probably cost them the W. Watched part of the Stanford vs WSU and in the first 10-15 minutes i thought it was going to be a good game but after the first 10-15 as Turf said it was a clinic, turned it off in second half. Did anyone see the UCLA vs UA game. Did UA outplay UCLA or was it just a weird, every shot that UA took went in?

What an insane night of women’s college soccer. I did not see any of the games but really 3-0 UCLA losing. Can someone explain what happened? My 12 year old niece said in the UW CAL game it just looked like Cal was not even trying. And Fullerton Davis 4-0? No disrespect to Outside but was it suppose to be that lopsided?

Fullerton is way better than Davis. This result is no surprise.

Against Arizona this year, my Bruins were without Micah and Fleming, as well as freshman midfielder Rachel Lowe – all three players received calls up to their respective national teams. Not easy to lose GK and CM. ​

Their backup keeper is just as good as their starter, IMHO, if not stronger in some areas. Further, while missing Fleming is a bummer, they have enough strong midfielders to make up for her missing.

One the other hand, I bet AC is kicking herself for not making a better offer to JT on Arizona ;-)

The #1 job for a coach IMHO is to get the team fired up and to care about playing the game we all love to watch. Only one way to do get that message across. If I was coach and I saw some not care, they would find the bench quickly. No excuses for UCLA!!!!

I guess you’re right. I thought I saw some fire in the SF State game. Wishful thinking since I am a huge fan of Hamm. I’ll give her a few years but by then I am sure someone else will snatch her up.
 
Not having Fleming hurts, but that shouldn’t matter against teams like Arizona as pretty much all the bench players for UCLA could start for Arizona.

If certain players aren’t getting it done, put in other players. Keeps everybody working their hardest.

Not true. Please rewatch the game.

I stand by my statement. MAP, you don't have a striker people fear. Mace was feared. Ashley Sanchez and Jesse Flemming are offensive mids. Everyone else is just ok offensively. People feared Darian Jenkins and Halle Mace, it's too bad because the rest of the team is nice. They're 2-3-1 over the last 6 games for a reason. It's not a one off.

I am slow to the game. Who is MAPs daughter?

The better question is who is Map. I had no idea until the other day. I PM him apologizing for my past rants. My mom and I had a tradition for about 10 years before she passed away. We watched the USC vs UCLA football game always right around my birthday, 11/19. I hated USC :( A little mom love. 12 kids, 4 her own, 6 adopted from birth with special needs and two foster kids whose parents died in a car crash. I'm the freaking youngest. My mom was Mother of the year for the Rev. Schuler who had all the crystals (not the nicest guy btw, but whatever...) Anyway, 1996 I believe was the greatest come back game my heart has witnessed when UCLA came back to win and spank USC. I let my mom have it for a whole year. MAP is 100% a baller and so is his daughter. We all got carried away and we all just need to chill out and keep the smack talk civil. I hope you all see I'm trying to do better. I'm not perfect either. Go UCLA, Fight, Fight Fight!!! BTW, when my mom passed away, I decided to honor USC if UCLA choked in basketball or football. Pete Carroll happen to show up and I really did love SC Football. My friends for at least a month thought I was joking and fooling around. Nope, I decided to honor my mom. Go Pac 12 in Girls soccer, but if Pac 12 loses, I will root for any west coast team. Enjoy the weekend folks and let's not forget it's only a soccer game :)

Exactly. If "other teams seem to care more" then maybe you need to either look at yourself, your players, or both. If you have players who "don't seem to care", then put in players who do--use your bench, I guarantee you those girls care about playing. I don't buy that the UCLA players don't care, BTW, that sort of thing usually means something else is going on such as low morale. Hopefully, UCLA gets their mojo back because I like watching them play. I'm sure they will.

Great point. I re-read that quote and I have more questions now than answers.
