which to judge SEC potential. B Antworten

Freshmen are still finding their way around their new campuses, but the NCAA soccer season is well underway. By the time Labor Day arrives next week, many teams will already be nearly a third of the way through their regular-season schedules.So there is no time to waste. What were the headlines from the seasons second week?Were glad you asked.Sunshine State meets Golden StateThere were notable results elsewhere in college soccer -- Arkansas upset Duke, and North Carolina and Florida Atlantic traded goals in the final 70 seconds of regulation before the Tar Heels finally escaped with a double-overtime win. But no team invested more capital -- perhaps even literally, if you add up miles and minutes involved -- to end up almost exactly where it began than Florida after a 1-0 overtime loss at Stanford and a 4-3 overtime win at UCLA.One win that could have been two wins. One loss that could have been two losses.Two games that could have been stalemates.For a team locked for years now in a cycle of being among the top national challengers without quite being the challenged, it has to be a familiar feeling.At the same time, for all the heavy lifting senior Savannah Jordan did in scoring twice and putting in the cross that deflected off UCLA for an overtime own-goal winner Sunday, the response from a starting lineup that featured five sophomores and a freshman might prove worth revisiting come the postseason.Now all that awaits in Gainesville is No. 1 Florida State on Friday night (while UCLA, which won at Texas A&M this past Friday, hosts Penn State and North Carolina this week).Quick turnaround for Canadian Olympic medalistsThe math proved simple enough when West Virginia and Clemson met Friday night: Two Canadian Olympians are greater than one Canadian Olympian.A week removed from beating host Brazil for Olympic bronze in Sao Paulo, West Virginias Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence were both in the starting lineup for the Mountaineers. Standing in their way was Clemson goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan, an alternate on the Canadian team who traveled to the Olympic tournament. Sheridan ultimately had the most work to do, forced to make seven saves for the Tigers, but she couldnt do anything about the shot West Virginias Amandine Pierre-Louis slotted home early in the second half.Pierre-Louis, naturally, is Canadian (there are currently seven Canadians on the West Virginia roster, not all that surprising for a program that has long had a talent pipeline running north).The ACC season, not to mention this weeks rivalry game at South Carolina, affords Clemson plenty more opportunities to burnish its résumé. With two stars back, West Virginia needed this.BYUs road show impressesWin on the road now for the chance to play at home later. Stated or not, thats the objective this time of year for a lot of teams that play in good conferences but nevertheless arent quite good enough, or at least deep enough, to put the polish on an NCAA tournament résumé.And so a week that began poorly for BYU, a loser at home to Nebraska 1-0 on Monday, took a pleasant turn in the form of a 3-2 win at defending national champion Penn State on Friday on the strength of an Ashley Hatch hat trick.BYU won at Tennessee early in the 2014 season and at LSU and Baylor a year before that. The Cougars have also made a recent habit of winning at Portland, still no easy feat for WCC teams. So these werent wholly uncharted waters. Still, the bulk of BYUs best recent work came at home, where in past year the Cougars surpassed Portland as national attendance leaders.And winning games at places like Penn State, especially after first taking and then giving away a two-goal lead, is a good way to earn games in Provo in November.Georgetowns goal machineWhat kind of week did Georgetown senior Grace Damaska have? She scored more goals than every other Big East team. Not just any other player in the league, mind you, but more than any of the other nine teams scored.She started quickly in Thursdays win against Delaware, probably a good thing on a day when the weather report listed the heat index in the nations capital within a few degrees of triple digits. Another two goals early in the second half have her a natural hat trick. She was back at it under similar conditions Sunday (the official scoring registered the conditions as gross) against Colorado College. Her two goals put an end to any potential for a comeback from the visitors in a 4-1 win.Damaskas scoring binge will be tested when Georgetown travels to Rutgers on Friday (the Hoyas managed just five shots in a loss against Stanford a week ago), but a five-goal week is heady stuff.Alabamas rising TideAlabama scored its 14th goal of the 2015 season in an October loss to Missouri. The Crimson Tides season came to a close a week later.It is not yet September, let alone Labor Day, and the Tide have 14 goals in their first four games. The current run included a 4-0 win against Campbell on Friday and a 1-0 win at Chattanooga on Sunday. Junior Lacey Clarida scored the lone goal at Chattanooga and has scored at least once in each game. Sophomore Abbie Boswell, the MAC freshman of the year at Ball State a season ago, has at least one assist in each game.As its schedule suggests, Alabama isnt exactly competing for NCAA tournament seeding at the moment (its opening-weekend wins came against Sam Houston State and Murray State). With games at South Florida and Florida Gulf Coast this week, there will soon be more useful evidence by which to judge SEC potential. But for second-year coach Wes Hart, wins and goals are the best way to turn heads in Tuscaloosa. Curry 1 Low Shoes For Sale . Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indianas 103-86 win Monday. George Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up. Stephen Curry Shoes Wholesale .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. http://www.curryshoesclearance.com/ua-curry-4-shoes.html . Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million. But he said he did nothing improper when he sold those shares over the next two days. Curry 4 Shoes Cheap . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year.
