The HC always blows 1 or 2 games a year. I thought BC and especially Villanova were bad losses this year. Last year it was the Denver loss that prevented us from potentially hosting a NCAA game. Poor game plans.

It seems that senior Stanford goalkeeper Lucy Pearson might have something to say about that. In the 10 games that she has started this season, the team is 10-0. In the 7 games that she didn't start due to injury, the team is 4-3. Don't you think it's possible that the BC and Villanova losses were at least in part due to the absence of an all-conference GK and not all the head coach's fault?

In any case, BC was Pearson's first game back, and she seemed to me to be 100%, although you and Publius are more knowledgeable than I am.

I'm just hoping for a win vs Clemson and another crack at UNC (or Syracuse) with a healthy 1st-string GK.
