Women's Soccer 2018

Don't think coaching matters in college soccer? Georgetown goes to their 2nd College Cup. Undefeated so far for the year. They were an also ran in the Big East for our glory days.

This also directly cuts against ur football theory and Morrone Stadium theory dbill.

Coaching coaching coaching. UConn was a leader with inspired coaching hires once upon a time.

Is there a dbill around here? No, just us "dbmill" types.

Second time in three years Georgetown women's soccer has made the women's college cup. No question, it is impressive to say the least. Even more so since women's soccer is one of those NCAA sports that tends to be most dominated by P5 conference schools.

I have always agreed that coaching matters. But as I've mentioned before, there can be a lot of factors at work. At this point I just hope the building of the new soccer facility helps to bring on something of a UConn soccer revival.

The 2018 Women's D1 tournament basically followed the set script with all 4 #1 seeds in Stanford, Florida St, Georgetown, and UNC advancing to the Cup in Cary NC with the Seminoles walking away with a 1-0 win over UNC in front of what I assumed to be hostile crowd just 20 miles from Chapel Hill.

For those who have an interest, a week earlier across I-40 in Greensboro, Williams beat conference foe Middlebury on PK's to win the Women's DIII title for the second year in a row. Closer to home, Bridgeport handed Grand Valley State (MI) its first loss of the season in Pittsburgh 1-0 to win the women's DII title.

Grand Valley spanked UB earlier this year - I recall it was like 5-0 Congrats UB - always nice to see a CT school bring home the bacon
