Mean Green Ladies Beat Xavier

UNTflyer · August 31, 2008

The ladies are now 2-0. Pretty decent soccer crowd. The ladies had a 2nd late goal waved off due to an offsides call.

I encourage all of you, especially those tailgating overnight, to see the ladies play Oklahoma Friday night @ 7:00pm.

It's 2-0 right? Green and White game dosent really count.

And the games are fun, except for when you forget to put on sunblock. My flesh is burning!

2-0, yes. Corrected above.

Had some pushing and shoving late in the 2nd half, along with some questionable no-calls on Xavier.

I'll be at the game Friday with as many other students as I can muster. I think anyone that relatively likes soccer would rather see us BEAT OU, than watch the cover band at Friday Night at Clark Park.

The referee crew was absolutely horrible. Linesmen were wrong all day for both teams and the center ref refused to overrule. It was not mentioned here that in the first half we also had a goal off of a corner played into goal on a header that was "saved" by the defender on the post. She was clearly inside the goal and the ball was too. Ball bounced off defender and back into play and was cleared away. Several 2nd half breakaways were disallowed by the poor offside reads from the line crew, which could have yielded even more opportunities. Combined with continued difficulty in finishing quality chances, the score was much closer than could have been.

We need some payback on OU, lost last year on a late goal after dominating first half and missing many easy chances to go up by multiple goals. Hope we come out motivated to win the first half this time and force them to play from behind.
