weak call.. both were going for the header

Horrible call. 50/50 ball. Dangerous opportunity for UNC.

[kingkoopa6 8395]

beautiful block. made it look easy, although im sure it wasn't

[texasstrong12 4668]

1-1 draw against #4 UNC on the road. Huge result. 

Hopefully, we have some legs against UCF now who is another quality team. 

This team is good. We were the better team in the 2nd half/OT. 

[Js1 85651]

I’ll take it

Wasn't able to watch. Did we try to park the bus on them after our goal in the first 2 minutes?

Nah it was fairly wide open. 

I thought that's what would happen in the 2nd half but Texas realized the technical ability was there to play with this team. I think most of the issues in the 1st half had to do with all the subs but it was probably necessary with all the chasing on defense.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Curry should be an All-American candidate. 2nd year in a row she's been really good. 

 

[pacman 7379]

She was absolutely fantastic today.

[texasstrong12 4668]

I guess Strouphaeur has some type of injury because she hasn't played yet. 

It will be interesting where Stroup plays when she comes back because she will definitely get minutes. My guess is they put Strouphauer up top with Hintzen and Berg instead of Adams. 

This team really is loaded with options. I just hope they can stay healthy.

Incredible effort here. Got a piece of the initial shot on the PK and then recovered to stop the rebound shot.

i about jumped out my seat thinking we won a championship  hahha damn so  close!

A draw against #4 UNC is just under last year's win over #5 WV in terms of best results of the Angela Kelly era at Texas.

[texasstrong12 4668]

I hope we have legs tomorrow because we did a lot of chasing against North Carolina. Short recovery time. 

UCF still hasn't played a regular season game so maybe they have a little rust. They did play a couple exhibition games. 

[Js1 85651]

VB kicks off at 3:30 and soccer is at 4. Big day!

[pacman 7379]

Jumped on the Knights early, though no quality chances on goal yet

 

ucf has begun to settle in and horns showing the same issue of maintaining possession after winning a ball on the defense

Texas in a 3-5-2 today

Jett, Regan wingbacks

 

no Grosso, not surprised after so many minutes yesterday for the freshman

berg playing a little deeper and getting on the ball more

Edited August 24, 2018 by pacman

[texasstrong12 4668]

Jett is finding a lot of space again on the wing. Need to keep playing wide. 

[pacman 7379]

yes, Jett is playing well defensively and offensively

our support of the player on the ball is lazy/abysmal

very runs dynamic runs, or runs of any kind not of the long ball type

 

Hintzen goal, 3 games in a row

Glenn assist

1-0 Texas

Edited August 24, 2018 by pacman

[texasstrong12 4668]

Hintzen goal. Great build up and assist from Regan. 

1-0 Texas. 

Regan and Jett are creating a lot at outside fullback. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Oh boy these Canadians are good. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

UCF and Texas are both creating chances. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Goal for UCF. 1-1. 

This is a really even match. Both top 20 type teams so not surprising. 

Edited August 24, 2018 by texasstrong12

[texasstrong12 4668]

Tecora Turner off the crossbar. Almost 2-1.

yes, grosso has been subbed in and immediately causing havoc for the ucf midfield

[texasstrong12 4668]

Grosso is so good. Woah. Almost created another goal.

1-1 at the half. That was an entertaining half and high quality play from both teams from a technical standpoint.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Grosso needs to stay on the field. She creates whenever she touches the ball.

i wish we could see her and berg work together more often

seems when grosso is on berg is having to play too high up the field or is subbed off

 

doesn't seem like they have had many opportunities to influence the game together

Texas dominating run of play/possession so far in the 2nd half. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Regan creating again. Berg with a rocket shot deflected over the bar by the keeper.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Starting to look gassed. Lots of minutes after playing on Wed. 

[perfectchaos007 6679]

Emma Jett needs to be near the goal posts on the corners. Height is her biggest asset 

[kingkoopa6 8395]

she skied that one ahaha... dang woman.. gotta bury that with the leg foot!

Edited August 24, 2018 by kingkoopa6

[perfectchaos007 6679]

 UCF nearly had a last minute goal in regulation 

[texasstrong12 4668]

1-1 heading to another OT. We look gassed. 

Not a fan of this scheduling because we are at a disadvantage playing our 2nd game in 48 hours. When you play quality teams like this you can't put yourself at a disadvantage. 

Either way, another draw here would be a good result. Need to find a way to get a result out of this and we would have 2 resume results in a road/neutral game this week. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Hintzen goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pacman 7379]

game over

Texas 2-1

 

Hintzen again, 4 goals on the year

Edited August 24, 2018 by pacman

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Sucks that it ended that way, but you have to play to the whistle.

[kingkoopa6 8395]

BOOM!

[texasstrong12 4668]

It was deflected. That's not offsides. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Hinzten might win national player of the year. We are good. 

Two huge results this weekend.

Far side of the field, center ref easily has the better angle on the play than the far side AR

 

not an uncommon occurrence for the closer center ref to overrule the further AR

[perfectchaos007 6679]

 I thought I could take a shower Between end of regulation and overtime but apparently I missed the game-winning goal for Texas
