🤔 Two years ago they finished 2nd in conference and lost in the semi’s! Also crazy how you always leave out the 16 championships this program/coach has brought this university! That is a record of titles by one coach that will never be broken! But I do love the football and soccer coverage for the fall, it would be nice to see a little volleyball coverage.

Definitely! Love the win and there is a history between the two schools battling for championships from CUSA…but the game could have been 2 or 3-0 at the half with the chances we had on their goal! Good win though!

Or we can pick out the Alabama game where we outshot them 7-2 on frame but lost 2-1! Alabama is still ranked top 20 and beat FAU 8-2 last week!

Watching it looked like with all our chances should have been 5-0 at the half! Box score: 28-11 on shots, 13-0 on corners! Field looked sloppy/very wet on tv, maybe that was the difference in our finishing!

AAC has voted Rachel Roebuck Player of the Week! Abi Major received honorable mention for Defensive Player of the Week! Big Congratulations to Both! GMG

He started 7 underclassmen, five freshman if you read the game report. Reading the box score he played the entire roster with pretty much everyone getting in a half a game. Also if you look at scores around the region PVAM lost to a pretty good incarnate word team 3-0 who tied our rival UTSA last week.

Unfortunately their starting GK collided with Roebuck before the first half and never returned, hopes she’s ok. This is their backup.

Again 7 really good shots on goal to Alabama’s 2 is impressive! Give the Alabama GK credit saving two 1 on 1’s as well which includes Wesco’s big save!

Actually not the game I saw, I thought UNT definitely had the better of play and scoring chances especially in the second half! Overall shots were 13-13 but we had seven shots on goal to #20 Alabama’s two! Watching the game maybe a tie would have been fair but I thought we were better and should have beaten Bama 3 or 4-2! The late goal by #14 the All-American was definitely gut wrenching but I was proud of the way we played Alabama that tight! I also thought as I was leaving the game upset on the tough loss what other sport do we have here that can play Alabama and OU that close, neck and neck and to the end?

I’m sure the reporter asked about the two players that went down in the OU game and JH confirmed they were both ACL’s. I feel for the players!

Soccer will be fine, just going through some early season growing pains with a young team! The three P4 teams we have played- Colorado, OU and Alabama all were tight games and could have easily been draws! Also the home crowd/fan support has been incredible! GMG

Chance to see the program that has won more conference titles than any other sport play two SEC teams at home this weekend! A lot of new faces for the Mean Green with more than half the roster being underclassmen! OU- Thursday 7pm: Very athletic, size, speed and coming off of a 1-0 win last week beating the #6 ranked team in the nation Nebraska. Alabama- Saturday 7pm: Just two years ago Alabama reached the final four in the NCAA Tournament, last year finished 4th in the SEC! Still a solid core with great transfer additions including two that came over from UNC! Alabama comes in ranked nationally top 20 preseason poll! Should be two great games and a great early test for a very young but talented Mean Green team! Exciting!
