Women make 25th straight NCAA with only NC having a better

streak. I was a little worried after being blown out 4-1 by NC Stat in the ACC tourney quarters and having 10 blemishes (ties and losses) on our resume with only 9 wins. Still the NCAA committee gave us another shot, We get IUPUI at home to start, but to get to our 13th College Cup we most likely will have to beat SEC Tourney champ #2 seed Texas A&M, then defending national champ #3 seed USC, and finally #1 seed ACC regular champ Duke in order to get there. Duke beat us 3-0 at home back on Sept. 21. All of those matches will be away. If we get to the College Cup it's in Orlando. Besides Duke, the other 3 #1 seeds are Stanford, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

I don't hold out lots of hope to win out and get our 4th national championship. Still if we can get through the gauntlet to get to the Cup we may have a chnace against the others as we did barley lose to South Carolina (late goal in double OT) and almost beat NC-late goal by them to equalize. Let's hope for a long run in the tourney.




Winning the first round match decisively

would be a step forward from last year's first round disaster. Then a victory at TAMU would be a possibility. ND used to be the high seed playing at home through Thanksgiving weekend...


Looks like we're getting that.

Up 3-0 early in 2nd half. The ball hasn't been in our half much. When it has, it's mostly been in our possession.


Looks good, now 4-0-five mins left. Now beat the Aggies. *
