Beautiful back to back shots by Hannah Johnson and Zoe Main within a minute of each other.
2-0 Mississippi State at the 24 minute mark.

No. 1 North Carolina falls 2-1 to Stanford. Should move us to 3 in the rankings.
2-0 at halftime. We’re playing like the #4 team in the country. Our depth is on display too.
Also, our fanbase has discovered vuvuzelas.

I really like how scoring is a team effort for us instead of relying on one or two ladies.
Goal 4 from Ally Perry on free kick. That’s 4 goals from 4 players.
4th on the season. Kind of concerning actually. No way she makes it out of the season without getting a 5th.
I know it’s been said before but they are so good defensively. They just suck the life out of the opposing teams when they get the ball.
It’s like being in a pressure cooker for opponents. And incredibly good with the ball at their feet. And so much speed, depth & experience. This team is legitimately very good.
Defense is going to win games, but it is fun to have this offensive explosion
Must not get excited.

Honestly, I would have rather she got it tonight and had to sit against Ole Miss on Friday. Our next games after that are UK, Texas A&M, and maybe South Carolina, then the SEC tournament and NCAA Tournament. None of those are games where I would feel good about her sitting out.
I know. I have to reign in expectations. I honestly expected Mizzou to put up more of a fight. It’s weird for me to watch a really good Mississippi State team do what they’re supposed to. Even Vic had some headscratchers.
Yeah. I thought about that too. Just take an intentional one & get it over with. Do they reset for postseason play? Also, I doubt they make up the Carolina game. If they were going to, next weekend was really the only time to do it.

What’s really impressive to me is the precision passing across the midfield. I almost never worry when they’re passing through traffic that the pass is going to find the player it’s supposed to.
Well, I only halfаss read it earlier. I saw “carry over” and assumed it meant to count towards 5, but I was wrong. The 4 carry over to the postseason, but if you have 4 or less when postseason starts, you have to get to 8 before a suspension is served, so as long as she gets no more until the conference tournament, she gets 4 more before suspension.
Obviously, if the 5th happens during the regular season games, she has to sit the next regular game and if it happens during the last regular game of the season, I believe she would miss the first game of the SEC tournament. Then the next suspension would still be at 8 yellows.
Getting yellows is not concerning. The way she plays only having 4 is pretty good.
nvm saw the rest of the convo. But she’ll play smart the rest of the way most likely.
Missouri's RPI is so bad that our RPI rank went down from 2 to 4 after beating them 5-0. We're behind UNC (who lost), Duke, Arkansas (who we beat), and right before Wake Forest (who beat us).
We're sitting at #3 in Top Drawer, up from #4 last week. We're behind Duke and Wake Forest.
United Soccer Coaches poll comes out tomorrow and the Selection Committee's initial top 16 (which is really the only one that matters) comes out Thursday.

Wait'll you see what Mississippi will do to our RPI. At least that will be a road win.
I think the bottom line is either MSU or Arkansas (but not both) will probably get a top 4 national seed, assuming both don't pick up a couple of unexpected losses. Other 3 top 4 seeds will be ACC schools. So pretty much will have to win the SEC tournament to get a top 4 seed, unless Arkansas gets upset somewhere along the line.
Standard MSU fare, I expect the seeding to be we have to play at Stanford opening weekend, and to settle this Kirby Smart stuff, 3 of our starters will be suspended (yes, I know).
I think you're right. It will be some 3 team combo of UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, or Stanford, then either Arkansas or Mississippi State. I think if we both get a bad loss in the meantime, they might make it all ACC top 4 or throw one of the Big Ten teams in there. The only other one I could see sneaking in is Auburn if Auburn, Arkansas, and Mississippi State win out in the regular season and Auburn enters the SEC tournament as the 3 seed, then wins the SEC tournament after beating Arkansas and Mississippi State in the semis and finals.
Ole Miss's RPI is 178. Mizzou's is 108. Yikes.
To celebrate, let's drop a 10 spot on the ole missers.
That would be a risky bet. Missouri beat Mississippi 5-0 & lost to Mississippi State 5-0 last weekend. #1 in SEC vs #16.
