Re: Women's Soccer 2016
So, I was just calculating the in-conference points after today's game results. For BYU to win a share of the conference title, Pepperdine has to lose to Loyola-Marymount...at Pepperdine. The only way BYU wins the outright title is for Pepperdine to also lose or tie at Pacific, which isn't going to happen, considering Pacific has a pathetic Overall record of 1-12-1. It's a longshot, even, that Pepperdine loses to LMU. It would be the first time since 2011 that BYU didn't win at least a share of the title.

I thought we had a stacked team? What happened?

it's not an extreme longshot. LMU is a good team. Could happen.SkystheLimit wrote:So, I was just calculating the in-conference points after today's game results.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
Pepperdine is ranked #15 in the coaches poll, #29 in the rpi. They're good. Sucks that we lost to them, but it's not like they're terrible. Also, LMU #40 in the rpi isn't necessarily an easy win for Pepperdine.scott715 wrote:A 1-0 loss to Pepperdine.
BYU is still #4 in the rpi and #5 in the coaches poll this week.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
LMU is our only chance a team winning the conference, but the game isn't AT Pepperdine, which is a tough place to win. Our loss was at Pepperdine. Which, by the way, kind of irks me, because we had to play them at Pepperdine last year. It should have been at South Field. We likely would have won at South Field. It is what it is, but still...Pepperdine is a tough team and deserves the ranking they have. LMU is a tough team too, though. Played us tough. We only won the match 1-0.BlueK wrote:Pepperdine is ranked #15 in the coaches poll, #29 in the rpi. They're good. Sucks that we lost to them, but it's not like they're terrible.

By the way, Ashley Hatch is back with the team. Yay, Ashley!
Hopefully, our last three matches don't drop our RPI much. I'd really like to go into the NCAA Tournament a #1 or #2 seed.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
This is the only site I've seen that puts out a projection for NCAA tournament. It has BYU with a 4 seed. That would give us the first game at home and the second on a neutral field. I actually think BYU will get in on a 3, maybe a 2 if lucky. We do have several top 50 wins and our three best wins all came on the road.

Re: Women's Soccer 2016
4 seed is a slap in the face. Getting 3 teams in with a couple just out shows it is a good league.
