UNC just followed VT Olivia Vergano & Sarah Gresham. Yes. Both to UNC. When someone asked for predictions on some players and I said Vergano -> UNC that wasn’t a guess. How does UNC go after Vergano with all their amazing attackers that we hear about weekly? Should I be questioning the quality ...

Agree KM is deserving of more recognition. In my opinion AA honorable mention. Can someone tell me who on 1st-3rd team AA list she should replace? People associated with BC team will say that she is the 4th best attacker. Say something about BC team. BC low attackers do more to make others better a...

I agree a NE hotbed city is the way to go. I’m all for the support to grow the game in non traditional areas, but sometimes you have to pay tribute to the sports history. The NCAA needs to utilize its advantages and that’s by filling up a medium sized soccer stadium in the NE. This draws the most fa...

You need to look beyond BC attack. BC losses 8 starters, 4 of which are AA. Martello could/should have been 5th AA. Lots of shoes to fill. Like many teams, they have lost a lot of talent . But, at least offensively, no other team has the returning offensive firepower that they do. Returner Mckenna ...

Big momentum goal. Eagles paying loose and as a team. Next goal is huge for the tide of the game.

Is that the third straight player-up opportunity NU has failed to convert on? I spoke too soon, still a min left on this one Scane is so good at scoring after defenses pressure out on her and she gets by them. As a coach you need to know to limit pressing out on her, or that slide needs to be much ...

I absolutely despite watching Madison Taylor look for the calls when the rest of NU plays so physical and aggressive.

All the top teams Florida defeated this year were either having a bad year by their standards (JMU, Maryland), decimated by injuries (North Carolina), or just weren't that great a team in the end (Princeton, Virginia). They haven't played a close game in months and they certainly haven't played any...

Will be interesting to see if this is the year that Cathy decides to hit the portal aggressively. Maybe. I checked who they have coming in next year and they have some great 24’s coming. Some seasoned talent wouldn’t hurt. Everyone loves to hate on the terps, they had a better season than most team...

A lot of top teams are losing a lot of players. Just running through the top 8 seeds this year. NU - loses a ton of talent. I’m sure they will be good but it will be very difficult for them to sustain the success they have been having. I’m not sure who defensively is leaving, but I know most of the...

How does having 12 AA attackers for 1st/2nd/3rd team combined and 38 honorable mention attackers make any sense - 38! Honorable mention should be 3-5 players that just barely missed the cut. Feels like we are giving everyone a trophy in my opinion. These lists make me so mad. So many HM, Syndi Blac...

Not saying Izzy doesn’t deserve it, but I’m curious how you can be named Big 10 attacker of the year when you don’t even lead your team in points.

Whether you agree with the bracket or not, there are a some compelling first round games. 1. Denver vs Stanford could be close. I like Denver to win, but Stanford isn’t an easy first round opponent. Denver won 10-6 earlier this season. 2. Loyola vs Duke. I see Loyola winning comfortably, but this ma...

Is this Kimel’s last game? The have a winning record even after this loss right? so wont they be in the NCAA tourney? On bubble. Very likely on wrong side of it. RPI is 30th Will be a very interesting decision by committee. Duke has a MUCH better win (uva) than any of the other bubble teams, but ha...

Predictions for semifinal games? Syracuse vs Virginia Syracuse is my team but exciting to see what Virginia is doing this year! Esp with all the freshman. I think Virginia will give the Orange a good fight but Cuse will go on a scoring streak that the Hooooos won't be able to make up the deficient ...

Good game for UVA. Puts them back into the discussion for a seed in the tournament. Answers some questions from that Duke loss, but makes it even more puzzling. IMO BC has had a goalie problem for a few years. They seem to get very good and athletic goalies, but these goalies are extremely inconsist...

Wow, lovin' this Hop-Md game. High octane, fast paced, runnin', runnin', runnin'!! Need a little something to mellow me out a little... oh wait, I'm good. Ball moving quickly, really nice stuff. A talented six footer from Manlius not at Cuse??? That aint right. GKs putting on an exhibition. Lotta t...

Maryland gets it done in the second half thanks to a great defensive effort. Offense did what they needed to and won some matchup to get the goals when they needed to. Terps closed the game on a 6-1 run. Michigan played Santa Maria in goal the first three quarters, then went to O'Grady in the fourt...

Who do you rank #1 after this week? Hot take - I wouldn’t mind Penn being #1, but I’m not sure they are truly the #1 team. However, I don’t really know who the #1 team is. NU in my opinion is the best team in the country but that unranked loss to PSU hurts, especially after PSU lost to OSU. MD might...
