Soccer: North Texas blows out Nicholls State

06:57 AM CDT on Monday, September 22, 2003

Junior forward Melinda Pina collected her second straight hat trick and third of her career as the North Texas (6-2) women’s soccer team cruised to a 7-0 victory over Nicholls State at the Mean Green Soccer Complex. Pina now has a career-high 12 goals for the season and has notched six goals and 15 points over the last two games.

"She’s playing tremendous right now," said North Texas head coach John Hedlund. "She looks faster than she ever has and what I’ve really noticed about her this year is that she is very composed in front of the net and really able to put the ball away."

Pina started the scoring off for North Texas with a goal in the 38th minute. Senior forward Marilyn Marin scored her sixth goal of the season just two minutes later giving the Mean Green a 2-0 lead at the half. Pina then put the game away with two goals on two breakaways in the 55th minute and the 57th minute that made it 4-0 North Texas. North Texas is now 10-1 when Pina and Marin score goals in the same game.

Alyssa Carrier, Kelly Adkins, and Richelle Magalhaes all scored their first goals of the season in the second half to round out goals for the Mean Green. Goalkeeper Briana Buchanan made six saves to record her fifth shutout of the season which ties her for the second most in North Texas single-season history.

"We were a little frustrated in the first half but once the goals started coming we really played well. What I’m really pleased with is that we were able to get more people involved in the offense and become more of a balanced team," Hedlund said.

North Texas has now won three straight games and improve its record to 32-2-2 at home since the 1999 season. The Mean Green closes out its homestand against the Grambling State Tigers on Thursday.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
