November 13, 20241 yr It feels like Texas schools don't get much respect in general. Texas and TCU were under-seeded. Soccer is huge at the club level in Texas but it's never taken off at the collegiate level. Has there ever been a Texas school that's made the college cup (final 4)? I feel like there might be some bias involved just based on how we treat soccer in Texas. It's not a huge sport that schools prioritize at all. Schools in the Northeast and out West all take soccer much more seriously.

November 14, 20241 yr We added the #7 recruit, #32 recruit, #45 recruit, #80 recruit, and #94 recruit from the top 100. Pretty good class considering we will likely add some good Canadians too that aren't ranked in the recruiting rankings.
November 14, 20241 yr Author We do return Brothers, Chloe Shimkin, Montgomery and Villareal but we are losing a lot - Justus, Missimo, Byars, Jilly Shimkin, Haugen, Ward, Lapomardo, Cox, Miller I hope we are active in the portal - Justus was such a good find. We need another Justus at GK
November 14, 20241 yr I wonder if Cox will return. I know she was honored on SR day but she's not going to get a NWSL opportunity based on her injury history. If she wants to continue playing soccer in the US her best option is probably to return.
November 15, 20241 yr 5 hours ago, Js1 said: I thought it was confirmed she is not returning but maybe she will We are likely returning 3 starters on the back line (Montgomery, Thompson, and Brothers). Maybe 4 if Cox returns. Then we should have really good wingers/outside midfielders in Villareal and Chloe Shimkin. I would think Ava Mcdonald would be the starting striker (#7 recruit in this year's class) and Avery Clark/Maalouf are quality players that can be reserves in that role. Need to add some central midfielders and goalkeeper out of the portal.

Need to add some central midfielders and goalkeeper out of the portal. Yeah, we need to do a little bit of portal reloading, but there is still a base talent, especially if Cox returns and can stay healthy. Still think last year was *the* year with a healthy Byars and Missimo. Missimo and Villareal are going to have to carry us if we want to get past the 2nd round.
November 16, 20241 yr Terrible start. Down 1-0 to Boston. This would be peak Ange Kelly. Win the SEC tournament title and then lose the opening round of the NCAA tournament.
November 16, 20241 yr Boston scores first when we decide to watch a ball bounce slowly across the box

November 16, 20241 yr Texas plays the winner of Michigan St (5) and Western Michigan….with the winner probably gonna get to play a #1 seed….Duke.

November 16, 20241 yr Author Only a couple first round upsets so far Colorado over 7 seed Georgia 3-2 Tennessee over 7 seed VT 2-1 Santa Clara over 7 seed BYU 1-0 Washington over 8 seed Utah St 0-0 in PKs
November 16, 20241 yr On 11/10/2024 at 3:32 PM, Js1 said: Didn’t think Kelly had it in her to win the SEC after losing Byars You and me both. Now let's hope she can actually advance in the tourney when it matters. This team better make the final four or Kelly needs to be fired. I'm sick of her high recruiting and falling short at the slight eight. We have the talent to make it to the final four and beyond. I don't care if FSU is dominant.
November 16, 20241 yr Texas will lose in the S16 like last year and Kelly will get a 3-5 year contract extension. It is what it is.

November 17, 20241 yr #1 Duke plays #8 Texas Tech #4 Horns play #5 Michigan State Ladies play Fri Nov 22 @ 4:00 in Durham, NC.
November 21, 20241 yr Weather will probably be a factor in these matches. Going to be cold and windy.
November 22, 20241 yr We're creating major issues on the wing for Michigan State. Keep attacking there.
November 22, 20241 yr whew Justice got just enough of that ball to tip it off the crossbar. Still 1-1
