2018 Texas Women's Soccer

[texasstrong12 4668]

We're being dominated but nice combination play by Berg and Hintzen. 
 

We're gonna have to defend a lot this game. We just don't have the technical ability to maintain possession against a team like this without Grosso and Regan. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Curry is one of the best keepers in the country. She's really good. 

[Js1 85574]

Playing like this, we will need to connect on our chances considering WV is going to get a lot of chances. Curry has to bow up at the goal 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Kelly is gonna have to be liberal with subs or we will run out of legs. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

I have no clue how we haven't given up a goal yet. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Of course WV has all these good Canadians that aren't with the national team right now. 

[Js1 85574]

Will take halftime lead 

[texasstrong12 4668]

We were dominated that half but all that matters is the 1-0 lead. 

Gonna need Curry to come up big. She will have to make some saves today. We started to build a bit of confidence with possession to end the 1st half. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Kelly played some players that half who never play (Currie and Dorsett). She's just trying to buy 3 to 5 minute spurts of rest for players so hopefully they have legs in the 2nd half. 

19 players played in the 1st half.

Only shot we have to finish this off is to continue building confidence with possession. 

[Js1 85574]

So lucky

WV equalizes on a nice finish but it's called offsides. Oh boy. Thank you ref. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

That was clearly offsides though. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

WV is pushing really high and Berg and Hintzen are finding space. Find a 2nd goal. 

 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Curry is unreal at reading these crosses and shots. She knows where WV is going before they even take a shot/cross.

[texasstrong12 4668]

We're bunkering in now but we don't have much choice. We can't maintain possession. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Hintzen and Berg can get us a 2nd goal if we can work up through the midfield. Hintzen and Berg are creating chances but limited opportunities. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

1-0 Texas with 30 minutes to play. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Surpris is cramping up. I get the feeling we will run out of legs. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

I love how Jett plays. She sacrifices her entire body for this team. She's not that great technically but she does a lot of good things for this team. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

WV hasn't lost at home in regulation in 41 conference matches. That's insane. 

[Js1 85574]

I was gonna say. Doing so good just putting a body in front of shots to deflect them 

[texasstrong12 4668]

1-0 Texas with 17 minutes to play. We look absolutely gassed. Dollas and Jett can hardly move right now. Have to bunker down.

Which includes EVERY big 12 conf match at home. They got into the big 12 in 2012.... 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Surpris is cramping up again. Man this team is giving everything they have today without Grosso and Regan. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

We have true freshman Brooks at fullback now. This is scary against this team.

We’ve played almost 20 players. So much depth for these matches 

[Js1 85574]

Wtf 

[Js1 85574]

Bullshit handball equalizes the match. Such a late call 

[texasstrong12 4668]

So much bullshit. Come the fuck on refs. Tied up. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

So this is how WV wins at home. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

The refs didn't even make the initial call. The fans started yelling and then they decided to give the handball. 

[Js1 85574]

There’s nothing there! Whining at home gets you what you want 

[Js1 85574]

Phantom whistle time for WV

[texasstrong12 4668]

We won't have the legs to survive OT. 

[Js1 85574]

Won’t matter. Handball changed the whole game. WV has all the momentum and now it’s over 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Or no OT at all. We ran out of legs and the refs suck. 

[Js1 85574]

Now I’m selfishly pissed at Reagan and Grosso. Get your ass back, you made a commitment to this team. You’re letting your teammates down by being gone.

Meh. I don't blame them. You can't turn down national team opportunities.

[texasstrong12 4668]

WV is the much better team when we don't have Grosso and Regan but this is going to be a frustrating loss. We did everything right until the phantom hand ball call. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Embarrassing effort from the refs. Reacted to fans yelling for a hand ball and then gave the home team a call. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Canada v Cuba on FS2 tonight at 7:30. Cuba is really bad so I bet Grosso and Reagan get good minutes.

 

As a side note, I’m surprised Jamaica’s goalie is a tall white girl

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Huitema already with 2 goals in the first half 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Huitema is unreal. She would be one of the best college players the moment she steps on campus. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Huitema with 4 goals. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Pretty sure we won't have Grosso or Regan again tonight. Think they are still with the national team. 

OU is much improved and they are a good team. This won't be easy. Every team in this league is good outside of ISU and K-State. 

Our metrics should be great at the end of the year because the Big 12 is a really good soccer conference. When OU is the 7th or 8th best team in the league that's pretty damn impressive because they are 51st in RPI.

[Jerry Callo 8727]

It's 6:55 and OU still sucks.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Softball needs to get this last out so we can get to some soccer

[texasstrong12 4668]

Good start. We look dangerous early. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

That was a hand ball against us on Sunday. Jesus Big 12 refs suck.
