She was the reason that they upset UCLA. She had 12 or 13 saves some of the WTF type. UCLA was a much better team but she was able to work her magic. She is a unicorn though. i would take Stanford's keeper over any keeper in college IMHO.

Then you would lose to Cal again.

That was a tough read. Sorry to hear about what you dd is going through. The full scholarship is part of the issue and I am surprised she was offered that considering at the most they have 14 scholarships. I can tell you that one of my dd's teammates and closest friends this year is a freshmen and an international student. She was on a full ride. She did not play much her first year and this spring the coach told her (in a nicest way possible) that she doesn't fit into his plans and should transfer. He is going to help her find a place but I firmly believe he does not want have that amount of money tied up in a player that probably won't make a big impact. I also bet that she would still be coming back next year if she was on a partial scholarship. The tough thing about college sports is that you need to view it as a job and you need to be performing to keep it. Good luck to your dd. The good news is that good keepers are always in demand so maybe she finds another home.

The great news is that with a 4.7 there is academic money out there. Some D1 programs in the south offer full rides with a strong academic GPA and top ACT or SAT scores with academic scholarships.

Yeah. I was thinking about the possibility of the Fall not happening and then what? Incoming 2020s + seniors that are getting an extra year of eligiblilty creates a log jam. They need to consider solutions for this, otherwise it will be a cluster F for all programs. I REALLY hope Fall is not compromised.

A lot of those seniors will move on to graduate school using their extra year of eligibility to get into their school of choice or maybe just decide to move on with their adult lives. It will certainly be interesting.

True. This will definitely happen. God I hope Fall will happen.... otherwise we get into the very shakey ground territory.

Or they may take the extra year to get their masters/PhD paid for. I already told me daughter if you don't play this year because of COVID, "you're getting your masters regardless if you want to or not" hahah. Hey, the first year will be free!

Try telling that to Cal's GK, who was the freshman Pac-12 player of the year and second team all-American as a freshman. She is defiantly going places.

For sure, but she would also fall into that YNT keeper to have the experience that gkrent mentioned. Her Bio is impressive another top player out of Mustang club. Goalkeeper is like those other special positions in other sports the really talented ones will be able to move to the next level with little effort, but most others will take time to adapt even if they were the best on their club teams. The next levels are the next levels for a reason!

yah i guess she'd fall under that category....but if you saw the teams the USYNT played against, one could hardly call it quality international competition...out of all the games they played in, there were maybe 1 or 2 teams that even gave them a run for their money. I think (could be wrong) what they are alluding to are those on older NT's, just under the WNT. again, i could be mistaken. All i know is that she's a fun kid to watch! She has size, quickness, good hands and reaction. And is TALL. If she keeps progressing she should be in the mix for GK'ing duties at higher levels. Best of luck to her!

UCLA has lost to Cal like twice in the last 15 years. I am comfortable with that. My kid lost once to Cal and it took the aforementioned keeper's best game of the entire season for that to happen and they still ended up in the College Cup and Cal STILL LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE TOURNAMENT...... Cal won't beat UCLA again for another 5 or so years.

She sure is a talented keeper though.

Can't argue stats and film doesn't lie.

Just having fun. I’m only saying she is a tremendous, once in a generation talent. Stanford’s is great too, but not like that. Anderson played out of her freakin’ mind in that game, but she always does. She and Macario leave the WNT make the WNT well-positioned for the future.

Cal's loss of Kim huge. I watched several game and her speed led to MANY dangerous opportunities/scores that will be no more.
I saw no one of her caliber on the pitch. Their goaile will keep them in games though.

Cal's goalie is legit can't argue you that. Not sure if he can'r repeat her performance against UCLA though. She was amazing!

Class of 2020 has some speed arriving, and 2021 does in spades. They have great talent in the pipeline, including ready replacements for Kim. If they assemble a complete team, they will be national cup contenders. While the recruits are great...they are primarily athletic forwards and some solid backs. I'm just not sure who will play in the mid-field and how it will all come together...but if it does, they will be extremely dangerous.

The 2021 class seems pretty excellent on paper (topdrawer ratings -- take with grain of salt!)

I really hope Cal does well..it would be good for the Pac-12 if they can begin to compete for a conference championship. Neil also need to get the monkey off his back as he hasn't been able to get past the second round since he got there and has had constant early exits. 2020 class is loaded and should provide a lot of firepower (hopefully next year) in the next couple years. Hitting the ground running as a freshman is hard to do, but Anderson did it with grace, class, and a lot of hard work.
