Our font line this last season was one of the most dynamic in the NCAA. Hence the two senior both got drafted. We have lots aof great players back, but our front line, by losing Hatch and Vasconcelos, will be significantly diminished. It's just hard to replace those two, as well as Medeiros. :( I'm glad we will still have Gomes. We just have to figure out who else I'll compliment her. I am hoping Maddie Lyons will be vastly improved on goal-scoring. She is aggressive and has her times, but just can't seems to get the ball in the back of the net. And among the other forwards there aren't any other really dynamic players. Maybe Jocelyn Loomis. Perhaps one of the Freshman will step up and be outstanding. Who knows.

Question is how does the team bounce back for 2017.

Lots of really good players are back. They'll still be good. 2016 was a special team though.

FYI - Ashley Hatch was taken 2nd in the draft to North Carolina. She was also invited to play/try out for the U23 national team. If she keeps going, there's a solid chance she gets invited back to the U.S. national team. We could see her in the World Cup. How awesome is that!

Michelle Vasconcelos was taken 11th in the draft.

Question is how does the team bounce back for 2017.

When you play a #1 seed on their home field you're only going to get 2 or 3 chances in the entire game. If you don't take advantage of them, you're going to lose. That's what happened. BYU ran into a very good team. Only had two or three chances and couldn't put any of them away.

1-0 loss to South Carolina tonight on a PK. A sad ending to a truly outstanding season. I will miss the seniors, who have been SO good throughout their careers. Respect to Ashley Hatch, Michelle Vasconcelos, Elena Medeiros, Paige Hunt-Barker, Rachel Boaz and Miranda Bailey-Topham.

Santa Clara upset Stanford. Their goalie defended 14 SOG. Long live the WCC.

Won 2-1. I assume #1 South Carolina is next.

S. Carolina beat Colorado 1-0 by making a PK in the 74th minute. I watched some of it. They are faster than OU was, but I think BYU is definitely capable of winning this one.
