Even though we probably should/could have won a few more matches that we let slip away at the end, this was a successful first season for D1 womens soccer. It will not be easy, but the next 2 tournament games are very winnable if we play well. Let’s all hope they can advance a few more rounds. Great job ladies!!!!!!!!!

What makes this more impressive for me is that the OVC requires teams in all sports to qualify by being one of the top 8 during the regular season just to get into the tournament. I think it means more when you have to WIN your way into the tournament as opposed to those conferences where everyone gets in even if they are dead last. Let’s keep it going and get more teams in during year 1 of D1.

That would solve some of the issues with a team getting hot for 3 games and ends up winning the auto bid that has no business being in the NCAA. |

Another honor for USI womens soccer by the conference. Love seeing USI get some credit when they deserve it.

Nice report here on the season. USI set a school record on defense only allowing 12 goals combined for the season. I wasn’t aware of that until this report.

Women stood around for most of the game and get bounced in the first round. Not a good effort at all.

Would have been nice to win, but at least it was 2-1 and not a blowout. Lindenwood continues to surprise me in most of their sports this year. They have really stepped up their game in a hurry. I didn’t really think they did much in the GLVC, but they are really coming out strong in the OVC. With their money,big city market and administration that gives them whatever they need to be successful, I see them as a real threat in many sports going forward. I am hoping mens and womens basketball is where they stumble and USI can blow them out in both. |

Lindenwood is a threat because they are hungry and approaching this transition with enthusiasm. |

Lindenwood has to be the luckiest team in the nation this year - not just in soccer, but other sports as well. They knocked off USI in the first round of the womens soccer conference championship and then faced SEMO today. They scored their 1 goal of the match on a penalty kick and the score ended after regulation and OT at 1-1. They won in a shootout to advance. The reason I say they are the luckiest team ever is because they were outshot today 29-1. Yes, that’s not a typo. LIndenwood had only 1 shot compared to SEMO’s 29, yet won. WOW. I wish I had their luck.
