This should be a decent match tonight. I know nothing about this particular Rice team but they are normally decent and it's on the road. Chris Henderson has it as one of the "big matches" of the night.

Goal Hintzen. 1-0 Texas late in the first half. 

Rice finished 12-4-2 (9-0-1 at home) last year. We only beat them by 1 goal last year so this is probably a quality match. Like I said above, Rice is normally decent.

Kelly played 20 players tonight. This team has a lot of depth which it really didn't have last year. 

The only thing that scares me about this is Kelly likes to sub a lot and there's certain players that need to stay on the field in competitive games.

The upcoming schedule is going to be really difficult. 

#6 UNC on the road and #16 UCF on a neutral field. It also looks like Long Beach State is really good. #2 UCLA only beat Long Beach State 1-0 last night on a late goal. Chris Henderson thinks LBSU could win a game or two in the tournament.

These next 3 games are against top 25ish caliber teams. Going 1-1-1 would probably be good results for us.

Wow. UNC gets a questionable PK but they don't convert. 

We're going to do a lot of defending in this game. Need to drop Billups into a more defensive midfield role. We're improved but still completely outclassed from a talent level in this game.

1-0 at the half.

The two best players that half were the Canadians. Good things happen when Regan and Grosso touch the ball. UNC is going to put a lot of pressure on us the 2nd half so we're going to have to defend.

Grosso is really skilled in the midfield. When she touches the ball the game slows down for us.

Grosso puts in work to keep possession..left side of defense gives away may the the theme of the game

 

was hoping to see some improvement in that part of the team

1-1 heading to OT. Two 10 minutes periods and golden goal wins. This would be a really good result if we can find a way to get a draw but we can't have much left in the tank. 

This was more competitive than I was thinking. Thought it would be a 3-1 type result.

Wow really dangerous opportunity here for Texas. About half a foot away from being a PK. 

Grosso is so good. I would let Hintzen take this strike.
