I don’t like this game for all the reasons that have already been mentioned
I half expected this game to be cancelled after we clinched Sunday and South Carolina clinched a bye in the tournament. Only thing left to play for is #3 vs #4 seed for South Carolina. Which isn't much (just difference between playing #2 MSU or #5 Arkansas in the semifinals next Thursday).

I listened to the Hail State podcast with Armstrong and he mentioned that this could be a Top 5 win for SC, which would help with possible NCAA seeding. Maybe a motivation to play it for them.

Yeah, now that we clinched the conference a game early, I wish we didn’t play again until the SEC Tournament. That said, South Carolina is ranked 18 in the NCAA RPI, so it’s a good opportunity for us to help solidify our hold on a top four seed.

This team is mentally tougher than the football, basketball, and baseball teams we are used to cheering for. This means they are less susceptible to the typical tropes that would seem to indicate we would State this game up and lose to a lower ranked opponent.

The girls will brush the lady cocks aside, win 1-0 and move on.

Sнit. SC scores about 10 minutes in. They’ve already had a couple of shots on goal.

We’re gonna be lucky to escape with a tie.

1-0 South Carolina at the half

We had a couple of opportunities, but we couldn’t capitalize. I’m hoping some adjustments can be made at halftime because we are getting outplayed.

I looked over the results and stats for the team last night (first time for everything I guess).

It is stunning for a team to play 17 games and have 14 shutouts against a quality schedule. 4 total goals allowed on the season.

What an accomplishment by the players and coaches.

Stunning is almost an understatement. I checked the SEC soccer record book the other day. SEC record for fewest goals allowed is 8. That goal is well within reach for this team. Looking at SEC stats, 2nd lowest goals allowed this year is Vandy with 10.
