Women's Soccer vs. No. 9 Iowa

Being outplayed. Too many soft & errant passes. Iowa very precise. With Tiernan back, Baron virtually nonexistent.

We had a fair amount of opportunities, but we weren’t as precise as we needed to be.

And like dad said, we kept giving away the ball at midfield with light touches and errant passes, and in the first half, Iowa took advantage of that in starting their attack, and got 6 corner kicks, one of which they converted for a goal late in the half.

The give aways has been an issue all season as I think in general our passing is just not crisp

She missed a wide open net. Shot it over the cross bar. She still looks to possess & beat defenders first.
As I said, she played fine. Nothing extraordinary. Multiple opportunities for an assist or two where other players were either 1. unable to do anything or 2. just not where they should be. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. On to Thursday.

Also not sure I'd agree with your characterization of how that play played out. Was a good look, not always going to connect.

So, to win a share of the title, all we need is:
- Rutgers to win out
- UCLA to finish 1-1-1
- USC to finish 1-1-1
- Iowa to finish no better than 2-0-1

In an ideal world, finish fourth and grab the last first-round bye.

Format has changed. Top 6 will get a first round bye. Only the bottom 4 will play the first round. 10 of the 18 will qualify.
