Erica Skroski with a great header off a beautiful corner from Samantha Valliant in the 1st half. Colby Ciarrocca with the left foot on a real nice cross from Jenna Seddon in the 2nd. We controlled much of the play, but they were dangerous & very physical. Out shot us, but we had the better chances. Could easily have had a couple of more goals. We out cornered them 6-4.

Madison Tiernan back. Good to see. Brianne Reed down with a hammie late in 1st half. She was walking on it later. Hope she's good for the 1st BIG. A lot of really good efforts all over the pitch. Real good win over a ranked & previously unbeaten UConn side.
 
Great win for the ladies! UConn usually has a very respectable program.

RU has a very B1G month coming up in October. Let's hope they can continue the momentum they're gaining with all of these OOC victories.
 
Ohio State lost at home to West Virginia last Friday, 2-0. Considering WVU is #4 in the Top Drawer poll, that's a harsh punishment to fall all the way out of the rankings.

WVU is the team that beat PSU, too, by a 1-0 score in Morgantown.

We are the only unbeaten team still standing in the B1G.

Next up: at Maryland (5-3), with one of those losses to - you guessed it - WVU. The bane of B1G women's soccer! :)

I agree as I don't see OSU falling out of the Coaches Poll. We will know tomorrow.

I also see the coaches giving RU a lot of respect in the NCAA poll for not giving up a goal yet....they know how hard that is. The ladies are on the verge of being a top ten team!
 
IIRC, an unranked Maryland team handed the RU women their first loss last season so let's hope that payback time is just around the corner. Too bad it's a road game this year.

All of the teams ahead of us in that poll have at least one tie and/or a loss. And you have to go down to #19 (Tulsa) to find another unbeaten/untied team, all of which just adds to the amazing on-field performance of the women this far into the season.

wow, I had to go check that out. They have us ranked at #15 right now and like you said all 14 teams ahead of us in the NSCAA coaches poll have either a tie or a loss. We are in a very good spot.

Penn State ranked 4th with one loss.
