Topic: Women's soccer moves to 2-0

First time since 2011.

1-0 over High Point. HP picked third in their league. I was wrong in another thread, MU picked 9th in SB.

Bailey Fischer with a rocket on a free kick just outside box.

MU GK solid again. Two grade A saves.  She was good as a FR last year but looks to me to have shed a little weight and is more athletic.  MU had more overall good chances in a match that was pretty even throughout. HP played a player down after a red card that set up the free kick that Bailey scored on. I didn't think it should have been a red.

Are we starting to build a women?s program that can be a top 25 program?

First, sorry for double post.

Personally, I think we are a long way from that. I watched a good part of TCU/FSU match yesterday. Both in top 10 and it's a very different level imo. WVU has a really good program and would be one to emulate in many ways. Finishing in top half of our league would be a good goal.  To go higher we would need to stack several really strong recruiting classes. Should be doable as there is a good bit of talent within a few hours of Hton from what I know.  GK is all-conf caliber. Probably have a MF and a D that are close but we need 3-4 more of those types...especially at forward to get to top of league. SB women's soccer is generally a one bid league so, like many of our sports, climbing to the top is certainly realistic imo. JMU picked at top of SB and they, generally, are more athletic and technical.
