Saw a stat that said the women have outscored opponents 36-3 this season. That's awesome.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Yeah the offense is putting up points, but the Defense is playing very very good (I've been to all the home games this year).

I like this team a lot more just because their coach's name is Chugger.

Looks like we dominated non-conference play but it's hard to tell if we played quality opponents. I don't doubt that we have a very talented team, but I also hope we are as good as our ranking indicates once ACC play starts. We could very well be the a top 5 team and lose some games seeing how the ACC is stacked and we play 5 ranked opponents, including @FSU and @UNC. Clemson should serve as a good barometer for what to really expect from this team though.

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound, Jeff Jagodzinski, Paul Johnson, Pat Narduzzi.

I mean don't expect us to go undefeated acc play is to tough and soccer is such a fickle sport that dropping a game or two or a few ties will probably happen that being said....we CRUSHED Georgetown
