Last year's team went deep into the post-season and this year's squad looked to me to be a quantum leap ahead of where they were at this stage of the schedule at the beginning of last season. A seriously tough row to hoe for our soccer ladies though. Picked in the top 25 in the country but only seventh in the conference preseason ratings. Ranked nationally but sub-par in the Pac12! Pretty remarkable. That said, I have a lot of confidence in this group and am optimistic. They are a physical and well coached team as all Coug teams should be.
p.s. A rematch with Northern Iowa will be played tomorrow morning.
