Florida State upsets Duke.
I had a feeling about that one, but didnt say a word.

Fleming is amazing.

Should have been up 3-1 but the ref didn't understand how to apply advantage.

I said it before the only player in the college game comparable to her technically is Sullivan. Forget that she is 5'4.5 yet is a target player on corners, crosses and set pieces. She is so hard to mark 1v1 due to her ability to dribble out of anything and combine with her surrounding players. UCLA goes right up the gut with her and if a team isn't well organized and talented in their spine they are going to get gashed for several goals. Teams whose forwards don't track back get into trouble against them not to mention the coach is committed to possession. They get outshot in almost every game due to their patience and commitment to connecting passes. They are technical at every position and it shows. This might not be their year but the age of the Bruin is coming soon.

The Huskies are a solid team. They are just weak down the spine. Their incoming class will help a lot as will getting Hedge and Perez back. Their depth hurt them severely last night. They weren't able to respond when the Bruins changed tactics. Their back 6 were exhausted towards the end and into OT and all that they could do was kick the ball upfield and hope that Simon or Keever could do something with it. They are a team that will be back in the thick of things next year.

One down and 3 to go. Colorado is going to be facing a focused Cal squad on Sunday. i still think that Colorado goes 0-5 or 0-4-1 in it's last 5 games. They will still get in the dance though and might even get a first round home game.

So swung and missed on Colorado vs. Stanford. I really thought they would at least score on the Cardinal. Given Cal's performance against Utah, I am going out on a limb once again and predicting they will score against Cal. I hope for Cal's sake, they wake up for this one but I am still not a believer in Cal.

The Buffs don't score a ton of goals in the Pac12. Their offensive burst (3 goals) have come against the Oregon schools. If they score against any of the remaining Cali schools, it will probably come from a header flick forward or header goal by TK.

It's a big difference playing against good competition. Colorado was outplayed by Washington and Washington St. and got lucky to get a result. UDub switched keepers due to the two errors that she made that handed the game to Colorado. Plenty of pro Colorado people honestly think that those were moments of brilliance when the reality is they got super lucky. Cal is going to shred them. Neil is going to ream his team for letting Utah steal a point from them. Colorado is going to be on their back foot all game. Ship, Onumonu and Kim are the best 3 forward combo in college soccer and are going to be motivated.
Can someone explain to us peasants that have to watch online what exactly happened here?

The player was offside and Jerry was pointing out that the AR had signaled it I believe. No worries Bri V. scores and now it is 2-0.

Alright, 1 game into the 4 game set, I still think they'll find the back of the net once, but a win is looking pretty doubtful.

We will see. I will tell you that all of the players for the Cali schools have heard the announcers talking up Colorado. Their best bet was catching them by surprise. The PAC 12 has 4 legitimate potential elite eight teams that want home games in the first 3 rounds. They are taking them as seriously as a heart attack and are going to come out swinging. If they go down early to any of them it's going to be tough to come back. All 4 teams have smart, well prepared and veteran coaching staffs. It's going to be fun down the stretch.
