2008 Soccer Season Thread

Re: 2008 Soccer Season Thread

This is Seattle's first year. They were a top 15 Division 2 school team for most of last year and lost in the Far West Regional. They are 7-2-3 on the season and have beat some decent teams. Seattle has played a tough schedule this year in my opinion, although I'm not completely sure of how tough some of the teams they beat are. They did beat an Eastern Washington squad that we lost a heartbreaker to.

Lang and staff know this will be a tough week. Obviously, they play tonight, Monday, Friday, Sunday to close out the season. This is their tough part of the schedule. Although the turn around from this game to NDSU on Monday will be a little easier in the aspect of training.

Actually looking at the RPI rankings, I believe there is several other first year teams in the rankings. SIU Edwardsville, Houston Baptist are several other teams in the rankings. I can try to find out the rest of the answers after the game tonight.

Jacks score 25 seconds after a Jackrabbit races on the field. Kelsey Ferguson's goal at the 50 second mark makes it 1-0.

Congratulations to the women's soccer team on being 7-0 and still not being scored upon in conference play.

And as always, hat tip to BHM for the updates.

Re: 2008 Soccer Season Thread

Do they keep records of consecutive shutouts and could this be a conference record? I know State stands something like number twenty five in the nation for saves or something.

The Jacks lose 2-1 to Oakland. Kaitlin Justice scored in the 18th minute but that was not enough for the Jacks. The Jacks wrap up their season Sunday at Michigan State before having 2 weeks off to prepare for the conference tournament.

MSU's game tracker is way behind. Jacks force overtime vs. the 23rd ranked team in the country.

Jacks head to a second OT with the Spartans. Oakland is manhandling the Bison 4-1 at the start of the second half.
