Rutgers Women's Soccer at No. 1 Michigan State

[Luvscarletknights]

I said it a couple of games later (in one of these threads) that THAT game, and Gia's throwdown, may have been EXACTLY "what the Dr ordered!"

I said it as well and got crucified...

Oh I’m sure I know who that was lol

this. she looked off to me...and shouted at the TV...then was happy to hear it got reviewed...but as you pointed out, they didnt show a replay. I told myself I was going to go back and watch again after the game, but I felt like we stole a point anyway, so didnt go back.

I have to believe that if it was reviewed, the girl was onsides...but we've all seen enough VAR fu*kups to know that's not a given...LOL

in any event, if we're being honest, getting out of there with a point is a big win for us...so I am good with it.

we need to keep playing like we're playing, continue to improve...and things will take care of themselves.

The Big + showed the replay once it looked offsides not by much but the angle wasn't good and as I said when they were reviewing the PK I don't know what feed they were using because the announcers said they didn't have access to their because if they did they would have called the PK in 1 minute not the almost 10 minutes it took so I don't know if they have any good looks on the offsides/goal play

We're now 25th in the RPI. Our start wasn't that great and, I assume, our SOS - until yesterday - wasn't either. Doesn't matter, however, just keep playing this way and "rankings" will take care of themselves.

Women's RPI

I believe that the Coaches Poll comes out today. Let's see what happens.

The WF tie who is now #4 should also help - still think #24 is low, but like you said win and the rankings take care of themselves.

Agreed just keep winning baby and the rest will fall into place!!

Not ranked in Coaches Poll. Four votes, good for 30th. I just don't get it.

Bulletin board material. I'll be there on Friday. Time to go beat them.

The Coaches Poll snub is really, really disappointing, but it likely comes down to strength of schedule. We’ve only played 4 of 11 games in the RPI top 50, tying both Wake and MSU (both top 5), and beating #27 Wisconsin (our highest ranked win) and #50 Washington.

We will need to beat PSU (RPI #9) this Friday in Happy Valley to have any chance of landing in the top 25.

It took that long because they were trying to figure a way not to make the hand ball call.

If that happened MON would have lost it!! And I would too but thank god as I said on the broadcast they showed it so many times because they were waiting so long and had nothing to do but once they showed the replay they were like definite hand ball in about 10 seconds
Big game Friday night PSU is always tough and of course I like to beat PSU in anything so lets hope we can get out of there with a win that would be big on the road
