Shouldn't ScarletKnights.com consider the UNLV game played at New Mexico as a neutral site game and not an away game? They have us playing three away games. Should be 0 Home, 2 Away, and 1 Neutral.
Believe you are correct. Guess they are considering it as an away game in that it wasn't played at home.
Was it really Neutral though? UNLV @ NM is like if Colorado played us at Red Bull Arena, is it really a neutral game?
Very slow, disinterested soccer by RU today so far. Don’t know what’s going on, other than feeling too confident after being told how good they are by everyone. Will have to battle adversity in the second half, at home. And play more inspired offense
Mason is struggling. Most passes have been errant or turnovers. Picked up yellow on total frustration.
If wind continues we will be in their 18 most of 2nd half. Wind hurt us in first half with timing.

The girl made a great step over and froze her. Where are the other defenders and midfield allowing the pass. It is a team game.
Wasn't pretty, but a W is a W. Wouldnt shock me if Buffalo wins the MAC and ends up in the Dance. Should be ranked #2 on Tuesday. We get a pushover next with Temple on Thursday night.
Once again she was too tight on the girl & couldn't adjust. Banks is a massive liability & Mike needs to get her the h%ll out of there. Girl got by her in the 2nd half as well. Once again she was up too tight.
Yup all her fault.....LOL. Buffalo player made a great move and scored. Where was the cover she held her up as long as she could.
BTW the play in the second half was a 50/50 ball that I honestly feel that Mason was too impatient on and dove in too quick and they got by her. It is called press cover not press...press. Sam did a great job getting back to knock it away.
I am not sure how many other options we have to put back there for the rest of the season if we sit banks.
In addition, the UB shot was not hit extraordinarily hard so let's blame the goalie too. Sometimes you have to give a player credit for making a great play

Yeah I thought the shot could have been stopped. Good move yeah. As a Big Ten CB on a good team you ought to be able to stop a good 1v1 move. Any way you slice it she was too tight once again & got beat. And LOL she didn't hold her up at all. It's not like this is the first time. Did you see her in the Providence game. Too tight on a girl & took her down in the box. Should have been a foul & a penalty kick. And it happened several times last year. Mike needs to be able to see the liability here. And yes Mason had a poor game, especially in the first half.
Don't watch if you don't like it. Win as a team and lose as a team.
They picked each other up in the second half today. That's all you can ask for.
He has other players on the bench that he recruited, not sure why he thinks Banks is the best choice.
I've gone to every home game but a couple for at least 10 years. You don't get to lecture me on team play or RU Women's Soccer. Buzz off.
Anyone who watches even a little bit of soccer can agree with you on your views, not sure why he doesn’t see it
Will do more later but Cassidy’s ball skills are terrible and I 100% agree she’s not good back there what position does Misal play?
As I said. If he has someone better then play them.
IMHO: The players are doing the best that they are capable of. No one is perfect. RU could have had 2 goals in the first 10 minutes. Should we sit them for not scoring enough. It always the D that gets blamed.

I stated that "she held her up as long as she could". Sorry if it was not long enough.
