They were expected to win the conference this year and ended up in 6th place.

How are you going to tie Baylor at home on SENIOR night???

Let's hope we can take care of Missouri on Wednesday. They will be mad about us beating them in Columbia.
 
For a University with our resources and commitment to excellence in non-revenue sports, this program under-performs big time.

It seems that we go through cycles in some of our other women's and men's non-revenue sports, but this one can't seem to really break into the big-time.

Are we lacking the right coaching staff, having difficulty recruiting, or do we just choke even with superior teams?

I really don't follow women's soccer other than occasionally checking their scores, so someone with a better knowledge of the factors at play might enlighten me.

Seems like we get great recruiting classes year after year, but we cant get it done in the postseason. Maybe we need the Cat Ostermann of soccer to come play for us

What I can see is that the team is struggling offensively, the backline has been setting shutout records for the past 3 years. For whatever reason (coaching, recruiting, etc ?) the goals are just not happening. The leading scorer on the team is a defender (Moore) who they have just moved forward lately to try to help out the forwards. The scary part is that most of the backline are seniors and are leaving this year !! Who will score next year ?

We have already had the Cat Osterman of soccer......Kelly Wilson!!! She was a scoring machine, but we didn't have the defense to support her back then.

Now we have the defense, but no offense.....
 
It looks bad in the Big 12 Tournament in San Antonio. With about five minutes to play Missouri is beating us 3 - 1. If we lose we are eliminated even though we will probably get an at large bid but won't get a favorable schedule plus lack of momentum.

It is over as we lose 1 - 3. Hopefully we will get an at large invite to the playoffs but that may be shaky. This year is a disappointment since we had so many good players coming back from a great year last year when we won the Big 12 Tournament and had a great playoff run.

We will surely get an NCAA bid. The RPI table (from before the conference tournament)The Link
has us as #16. I would be very surprised to end up with a seed though.
