I think USI has a good chance to get their first win against a D1 school this weekend. They will beat Chicago State for certain.

4 straight games without a goal….yikes. I was at this game. So frustrating because I thought we dominated 80% of the game but couldn’t put a goal in even though we were in their box all day. We had 2 times we had mental breakdowns and the first one they got 3 shots on goal in a 1 minute span. The 2nd time was a fluke break away that we could have cleared but didn’t and they scored with about 2 min to go, I was pissed because we seem to have lots of chances but no one can score or even take a decent shot on goal when we are in their box. I don’t know what we can do but we need some serious scorers by next season.

According to the roster we have 10 women graduating after this season, and most are not our best players. This should give us a good chance to get 10 D1 LEVEL RECRUITS IN FOR NEXT SEASON. This is a must if we want to be in the top half of the conference going forward. I would love to see some speed recruited and some high level scorers next year.

I don’t know what we can do but we need some serious scorers by next season. I watched on ESPN + and this is a game they should have won. I noticed a lot of mid major schools have foreign players. On the broadcast the announcer said the Little Rock coach used a recruiting service to fill almost every open scholarship. USI must tap into this foreign market because they have maybe 2 skill players on their entire roster.

USI needs to look into that asap. And i agree this is definitely a game we should have won. after checking our womens soccer roster we have ZERO FOREIGN PLAYERS.

I checked UE womens soccer roster and they have 4 foreign players on their roster. I also noticed they have 4 from California also. We need to expand our recruiting range.
UE mens soccer has 14 foreign players this year. Looks like most are European which makes sense for soccer since it is a much bigger sport in Europe than in the states.

I remember when I was a student at USI when the USI men's soccer was D1 then coach Tony Colavecchia recruited several players from England.

Another tie today. Not bad for playing on the road. I have confidence that with a handful of D1 key recruits before next season that USI will be pretty evenly matched with most of the other OVC schools in womens soccer. Even now we are competitive and most games have been one point losses other that the breakdown against TTU.

I will take a tie with the first place team in the OVC Had several great chances to put one in the back of the net. Today USI was the better team.
