Take care of business, Ladies!

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Lamar really parking the bus. Only sending 1 player forward. 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

1-0 Missimo PK.

We will see if Lamar gets out of this really defensive shape now. 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Lamar has only had 1 scoring opportunity and it was off a free kick. Just don't foul in our own half and they aren't getting numbers forward. 

[Js1 85396]

2-0 just before the half 

Own goal. just off the GK’s heel

2-0. On goal but created by Byars. 

Lamar is eventually gonna have to commit numbers forward unless they've just conceded the game. 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

We need Holly Ward to keep playing like this. Teams are committing numbers centrally to try and stop Missimo and Byars. Ward is getting 1 v 1 opportunities on the wing all night. 

If Ward can keep winning these 1 v 1 situations on the wing it creates a lot of problems for other teams.

21 shots in the first half

Couple of tough fouls on byars. She isnt happy about it either. 3 totals hits from behind, though only two are called fouls

Yeah the coaching staff was yelling to give a yellow. 

It's pretty obvious what Lamar's strategy is. Just foul Byars before she can turn. 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

What a save by Justice. 

[pacman 7359]

Texas CB pairs gets dusted by the Lamar forward but Justice comes up huge 1v1

 

2:1 Odds Kelly sees fast forward and recruits her lol

[pacman 7359]

Byars misses a wide open goal

 

Lamar finding some hope in the counter..

Edited November 11, 2023 by pacman

[Js1 85396]

Oh man, Byars had an empty net and missed

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Game is getting stretched now because Lamar subbed a defender in for an attacker. Keep feeding Byars. 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Not really sure why we are playing so many subs in just a 2-0 game. 

[Grande Mart 517]

Ha, that girl playing on the track got hit in the head with the ball

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Wisconsin and Milwaukee tied at the half. We get the winner. 

[Js1 85396]

2-0 opener win. Moving on

[Cairn Horn88 8274]

Down to Tallahassee!

Wait, I thought we play Wisconsin next who is up 2-0 late in the 2nd in Madison.  

I'm confused easily.  When would be our next match, presumably next Friday?

We do play Wisconsin. In Tallahassee. The 1s and 2s host the second and third rounds.

Fucking Florida...

[perfectchaos007 6672]

FSU, aggy, Wisconsin, and Texas are all headed to the Tallahassee regional

I can throw a tailgate at Del Boca Vista, Phase III.  But we'll still need a Cadillac to drive us all the way up to Tallahassee.

This is how aggy won. 

 

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Better lucky than good as they say

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Huge upset tonight. UC Irvine beats #1 seed UCLA and defending national champions.

UCI was a man down in the final 15 and scored in the 86th min

[Js1 85396]

Friday’s second round match in Tallahassee versus Wisconsin is at 1pm

[Js1 85396]

Badgers scored first in the 38 min 

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Wisconsin scores on a set piece. 2-0

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Edit: they waived off the goal for reasons I don’t understand, but it keeps Texas in the game. Still 1-0 Wisconsin 

[Js1 85396]

1-1

Ashlynn Miller goal in the 51 min. Assisted by Byars and Missimo 

[Js1 85396]

Lexi is now the first Big 12 athlete with a 20 goal, 20 assist season 

Stud

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

I think Kelly should still probably be fired but a pretty tough decision now. Can you get rid of a coach that won the Big 12 tournament title, made the Sweet 16, and returns almost the entire roster next season?

Maybe a short-term extension works?

 

[perfectchaos007 6672]

Heck of a win ladies. Refs weren’t against us so That almost makes up for the ref screw job against LSU

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Another assist and goal for Missimo to move Texas into the Sweet 16.

It's now reached a point where if Missmio doesn't win National Player of the Year it's a complete robbery. 

[Js1 85396]

Lexi with the game winner in the 67 min. Assisted by Jilly

Onto the Sweet 16

Should also mean a jersey retirement once she is gone

[pacman 7359]

Glad Miller got an important goal on the season, good confidence builder for the winger.

[Js1 85396]

BYU (1-0 over Southern Cal) and Texas (2-1 over Wisconsin) have moved on. Tech plays at 6 against Princeton, looking to join them in the Sweet 16

We are not the first 5 seed to advance this year - Michigan State beat Harvard 1-0 and faces BYU next. 5 seed Iowa lost to 4 seed Georgia 3-2. The last 5 is Nebraska, who plays unranked Tennessee. 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

7 wins in a row and 3 are against top 15 teams. Great time to get hot. 

Probably the best team we've played is up next though in FSU.

I bet she is extended.  It's a bad look not to.  And it will need to be for an amount of time that works with the recruiting dynamic in this sport (no idea what that is).  You don't bring somebody back only to hamstring them.  

[Js1 85396]

Lexi’s game winner was great. Hard to tell if she baited the keeper into going for the ball or the keeper decided to try to aggressively get a foot on it; but she gambled and Lexi had an open net

Probably guessing 1 on 1 against Lexi is a loser for any keeper 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Missimo's best skill is somehow always finding space even though everyone knows she's probably the best player in the country. 

[Rickylovesweed 14464]

Looking back at the Cox injury, damn that one stings. Just imagine this team with an All-American caliber defender? They might be a national title contender but right now defense will probably eventually cost us.

Maybe a short term extension - she brought in an excellent class and Justus, Missimo, Shimkin, Ward, Byars, Miller can all come back + getting Cox back from the injury.

Ok.  So coach job security is not a thing in women's soccer recruiting like it is in football?
