Texas Women's Soccer

[pacman 7371]

Oof..defense gives way too much space and byu finishes from about 18 out

 

1-1

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

Think we will need 3 or 4 goals in this one to have a shot. 

[pacman 7371]

the crowd side AR is catching major shit 

She has for a second time put her flag up to call offside against byu, only to put it down when the center ref doesn't immediately notice. He did end up calling one.

Big 12 soccer refs train with the football refs it seems

BYU is finding a lot of success attacking the montgomery and lapomarda combo. That's where the goal came from and the other two near goals

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

1-1 at the half. 

[Js1 85583]

Texas don’t miss on PKs

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

Missimo should win NPOY. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

This Round Rock facility is packed. Don’t see many open seats 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

This is what makes Kelly so frustrating. Beat a top 10 RPI team on Wed and now up 2-1 on #1 RPI BYU. 

This team can play with anyone in the country but they just don't consistently bring it.

Mia with a huge save off a byu header

And there’s the 3rd goal of the night. Holly Ward

Holly Ward!!

3-1 Texas

14 min left

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

This is why I've been saying nobody wants to play us in the NCAA tournament. We can score 3 to 4 goals on just about anyone. 

14 more minutes. 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

Clear everything off the back line. 

 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

1) We went from the bubble to probably hosting a 1st round NCAA tournament game. I would be pretty shocked if it isn't Texas vs aggy in Austin for the 1st round game. 

2) Missimo should absolutely win NPOY. Now that we are clearly a tournament team with a Big 12 tournament title you can't say "Texas isn't good enough for a player to win National Player of the Year." 

[Js1 85583]

Big 12 champs! 

First since 2007

We’re going dancing!

Conference championship fuck you tour has officially started. First one captured 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

Won 5 in a row and 3 against good teams. 

It's a good time to get hot and figure things out.

Missimo was offensive MOP, Justus was defensive MOP of the Big 12 tournament

Better make the third round. A quick exit isn’t going to end up doing much for her

Don't think so unless she wins a few games in the tournament. Why not extend her right now after a Big 12 tournament title? 

Seems pretty obvious that CDC wants a few wins in the tournament. 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

The big thing is if Kelly is fired I hope we have a big-named coach lined up immediately. 

I believe there are only 2 SRs in the starting lineup (Waesch/Lapomarda) and don't both still have a Covid year? This team could be loaded in year 1 of a new coach if they can just keep the roster together.

Gotta think CDC has Eric Bell’s personal cell phone number and texts him a lot lol

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

No surprise but he's predicting Texas vs aggy in the 1st round. This is almost a certainty with how they love this match up.

Selection Show is today at 3pm

Missimo in the national ranks - 2nd in goals (24), one behind the leader; first in assists (19), 3 ahead of second place; #1 in points per game (3.19), well ahead of #2 (2.70); #1 in penalty shots taken (8) and converted (8).  She is NPOY and there's really no contest. 

Texas at #4 in scoring offense (3.14 goals per game)

5 seed. Hosting Lamar

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

Shocked they didn't pair us with aggy. 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

I now see why we didn't play aggy in the 1st round. They were a top 32 seed and get to host a 1st round game. They finished #50 in RPI and the guy that does the brackets above had them as one of the last teams in the tournament. 

Talk about some SEC bias. Lord. 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

Wisconsin is good but beatable. There's definitely a path to the round of 16. 

Beating FSU in the round of 16 would be difficult.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. A clear bubble team at #50 in RPI and they somehow get to host a 1st round game. 

That's pretty insane.

It would be, but we did just beat a 1 seed (BYU) and a 2 seed (Tech)

Definitely but big difference is we would have to beat FSU on the road. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Our goalie would get to face off against her former team, if Texas and FSU do play each other 

Edited November 6, 2023 by perfectchaos007

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

FSU and aggy in the round of 32 could be interesting too. 

aggy lost to FSU 2-1 in College Station on 85th minute goal. It was a close game when they played earlier this year. 

[pacman 7371]

Lamar has a few local Austin area players who are key to the team. Should be a fun game on Friday

Edited November 6, 2023 by pacman

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

We're a #5 seed, and Lamar actually has a win this year against one of the #4 seeds in the draw. Hopefully that gives the team motivation to not take them lightly 

[Rickylovesweed 14542]

This seems like a really good addition. The next Julia Grosso? From reading about her she might still be a risk to go pro.
