2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!!

Thanks @surfrider . She is medically cleared to play but using these last couple weeks to transition back into the speed and physicality of play. UCLA is a definite “NO”. She wanted this game to be her comeback game so badly but her mom and I are happy about it. Seen a couple players that compensate for their lack of speed/skill by resorting to goonish tactics. And no I am NOT referring to #5.

St. John’s is most likely out as well as the coaches and training staff would like to give her another week. SDSU/Irvine weekend is looking more promising. Even then, her role initially will be very limited as I think they want her to be ready for conference play.

It’s been a long hard road for her but she’s worked her tail off and is chomping at the bit to get back on the pitch with her teammates and contribute. Looking forward to a longer, injury free season this time around.

Great to hear she is close. I know the feeling when it’s close and big games are on the horizon. The hard work and passion will pay in spades. And I fully agree that caution is definitely the better part of valor. Good luck

All kidding aside, I was really looking forward to the SoCal Soccer Con at Barney’s Beanery this Friday however, I regret that I must rescind my RSVP.

Since my kid still isn’t playing, kind of hard to justify the 5 hour drive. Plus, it’s homecoming for my youngest so I’ll be staying local.

That said, in the interest of peace & love, doves & olive branches, I hope as many peeps as possible from this message board plan on getting together to toss back a few brews, talk soccer and wonder at the sight of their awesome daughters who play this wonderful game. The fact they are able to keep playing soccer at the collegiate level, regardless of division, conference or team, is a major achievement and should be celebrated.

Have a cold one for me and my kid and I will hopefully join you all sooner rather than later.

Looks pretty good although I think you may be giving Cal a bit too much credit.

Then I’m giving San Francisco waaaaay too much credit but they are on a roll right now. If Cal can’t beat the Sooners and the Cowgirls they are gonna have a tough time in conference.

Rumor has Cal making a GK change this week. I think Neil is scrambling after the loss to Santa Barbara

Not trying to step on any forum friends toes.....but all things considered, it every year, it seems that Cal should do better than they do. But in the end, they don’t.

What’s the deal?

Cal is one of the most consistent teams in the Pac-12 in terms of NCAA tournament appearances I think 13 consecutive (not even USC who have won 2 nattys are that consistent).

From there to climbing out of the first weekend is the issue.

Yeah, but during the regular season there are those games that should just be an automatic win where they totally lay an egg. UCSB this year, St. Mary’s last year (or was it the year before?).

SF is looking strong this year. A couple of my kid’s former club teammates play for them and they are legit. Their true test (and everybody else’s in the WCC) will be Santa Clara.

Three years ago, SF was poised to win the conference title. They had beat perennial powerhouse BYU and I think only had to beat Pacific and they CHOKED big time.
