Packing My Bags for Texas

The final four is set and I am packing my bags for College Station, Texas and the NCAA 2007 Women's College Cup! I'm only slightly bitter that I won't get to see a Portland/UCLA matchup as that one was already played in the quarters.

It is interesting that, in spite of all the craziness and ups and downs we saw this season, we'll be seeing three of the four teams from last year's Cup. Only last year's winner, University of North Carolina, is staying home.

Is it finally UCLA's year to lift the trophy? It would seem so, but if this season has taught us anything, it is that anything can happen. With that in mind, I'm not making any predictions. I'm just looking forward to a great event and some incredible soccer.

Check back often over throughout the Cup for all the latest. And, the games are being broadcast live on the ESPN family so be sure to watch. Maybe if enough of us tune in, they'll broadcast the quarters next year so we won't have to miss a great match up like Portland/UCLA.

A Giant Awakening

I think USC should finally be taken seriously. It's been a long road this year and the team is playing better than ever. USC coach Ali Khosroshahin (in his first year @ USC) sums it up the best."This team was a sleeping giant waiting to be awoken, and I think it is awake now," This is coming from a coach (one of the teams biggest critics this year) who's first impressions at the start of the season was that the team was "soft." He has been quite open all season of the work that needed to be done, and it is exciting to see it pay off. Win or lose on Friday, USC will continue to be a giant in women's soccer. Credit the coaching discipline of Khosroshahin and the talent he is fortunate to work with!

don't count out USC against UCLA. I would not want to play USC right now. They are overdue against UCLA. aND what a better place to beat them than in the semi finals.
