Duke goal in the 87th min.

Duke wins 1-0. 

Congrats to Angela Kelly on her inevitable 3-5 year extension for making the 2nd round

Fuck giving her an extension... damn she's terrible

Regardless of the coach, would they have enough support to be top 10 in soccer on a consistent basis?  Our facility is ad hoc.  We hardly ever fill it up.  Most students don’t care about soccer.   It occupies a space as an afterthought.  So why would one of the best coaches come here?   Coin? Sure.  But they can make the same coin where they are.

What!? Women's sports in Austin TX..Any good women's coach will be able to recruit at the highest of levels. You have to win. Consistently. Find the right leader. wSoccer is a sleeping giant here. Parking issues will never go away but crowd size/enthusiasm will not determine success of the program.

fairly solid additions

 

[Js1 85347]

From some legit programs too

Justus looks like a really good GK and was #1 in the 2021 class. 

Allen was #9 ranked recruit in 2020. 35 career starts for UNC in 3 seasons. Only played in 9 contests this year, started 33 her first 2 seasons 

The Irish gal started 33 matches in 2 seasons at BC 

And the Auburn transfer has started 53 contests in 3 seasons and was the #26 recruit in 2020 class)

So are all those Sophomores returning? If so, Texas will probably be ranked in the top 15 if not higher with those additions. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

The schedule was posted. This looks like a really weak non-conference schedule. 

The only tough match is maybe LSU? 

[Js1 85347]

15th in preseason poll

TCU 9th, BYU 13th, UCF 24th, SMU RV

3 ranked teams all year and 1 receiving votes. 3/4 game at home - we do go to UCF on October 5

Seems fair? 

Isn't almost the entire team returning from last year that made the 2nd round? I guessed above they would be ranked in the top 15 and it looks like people agree.

Yeah. Wasn’t disputing it. Easy schedule too. If we still can’t get to the third round, boot her ass to the curb

Definitely but seems like the same problem as last year. Based on how shitty the schedule is, they probably won't be hosting more than 1 game in the postseason. 

I don't know why the head coach hasn't learned to schedule tougher in non-conference. It's going to take an incredible record to host past the first round based on RPI. 

[Js1 85347]

EmJ Cox is out all season. That’s a big loss. 

[perfectchaos007 6643]

I missed the reason why Trinity Byars didn't play today. Hopefully she's not injured too.

[perfectchaos007 6643]

Season opener tonight against LBSU. Hopefully Angela Kelly and co. can kick off the season on the right foot with a win.

Texas, even without EmJ Cox, has 3 players in Top Drawer's 2023 Top Players and 2 on their Big 12 Preseason team:

Trinity Byars (#2) Preseason Big 12 First Team
Lexi Missimo (#16) - Preseason Big 12 Second Team
Jilly Shimkin (#75)

BYU was the only Big 12 team with more players in the top 75 (4), but Texas had the two highest ranked players in the conference and the only ones in the top 25. BYU has 2 on the Big 12 Third Team

[perfectchaos007 6643]

Took LBSU 44 seconds to score the first goal. 1-0 LBSU

[perfectchaos007 6643]

LBSU leads 1-0 at halftime. Texas has controlled possession after that first minute, but LBSU catching Angela Kelly's team unprepared at kickoff might end up being the difference maker.

[perfectchaos007 6643]

1-1 now in the 52nd minute. Header by Ashlyn Miller ties up the game

[perfectchaos007 6643]

2-1 LBSU. They got the go-ahead just a few seconds later lol

[perfectchaos007 6643]

Byars tied it back up. 2-2.

 

[perfectchaos007 6643]

3-2 LBSU. Texas isn't playing defense tonight

[perfectchaos007 6643]

LBSU scores again....but its an own goal. 3-3 with 7 minutes left

[perfectchaos007 6643]

Texas scores with 14 seconds left in the game to take the lead 4-3

[perfectchaos007 6643]

Texas wins 4-3! Holy crap that was a wild one. Texas didn't lead until the final 15 seconds of the game and they held on to win

[perfectchaos007 6643]

The game winning header....

Commentator mentioned that first goal by LBSU was the fastest scored goal in their program's history. We're very fortunate to escape with a win.

Usually in the Kelly era, we give up late goals to lose. Maybe we reverse that - give up an early goal, score late to win 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Defensive struggles early are probably not a big surprise with Cox being injured. 

[perfectchaos007 6643]

6-0 home opener win today against a rebuilding Rice squad. AK mixed up the backfield a bit after the poor defensive showing against LBSU

[Js1 85347]

Texas was the NCAA Team of the Week and Byars was Big 12 offensive POW 

[thrillhammer 683]

pumped about the game tonight on lhn.  going to miss this channel.   i feel good about this years team and playing an sec school is a sign of things to come.

[perfectchaos007 6643]

2-0 LSU so far and its not even half time. LSU and the refs are kicking Texas' butt

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Did LSU pay these refs? What is this? 

[ClubWhatever 12144]

Fire Kelly

[perfectchaos007 6643]

Angela Kelly getting outclassed and beat by a very "mid" SEC team is something we'll see a lot of starting next year. Look at her coaching record at Tennessee for a preview

[Js1 85347]

L O fucking L

[ClubWhatever 12144]

This game should really be 2-2.  Two horse shit calls.  One took a goal away from Texas, one gifted LSU a goal.  

[perfectchaos007 6643]

LSU won 3-1. That was LSU's first win over Texas in program history. 

[thrillhammer 683]

that was pretty lackluster on defense.  they were getting beat down the field the whole first half.  the refs did screw us.  makes you wonder if the conf bigwigs didnt grease some palms to make this a miserable year for us in all sports.  that penalty kick was bullshit, and the penalty that took away our goal was nonexistent.

[Js1 85347]

Ho-hum, another hat trick for Byars. Took 15 minutes against UTRGV

They're definitely trying to figure things out in the back after the Cox injury. 

The LSU result was still frustrating because of the refs. Should have been a 2-2 result. They disallowed a goal that clearly wasn't a foul and then gave LSU a PK on ticky-tacky call. 

Did anybody see if one of the assistants was ejected in that game? I think one of the male assistants got ejected in the 2nd half. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Avery Clark is not going to be on the bench much longer. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Wow, great start against SMU who is receiving votes to be ranked. 

1-0 on Missimo PK in the 1st minute. Also, a red card for SMU so they're down a player for almost the entire match. Talk about a terrible start for SMU. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

This is just brutal for SMU. They have to chase around Texas for 89 minutes down a player in 101 degree weather. 

The red card was warranted though. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

2-0 Texas on another penalty kick. I guess after the LSU bullshit, Texas deserved some calls to go their way.
