2018 Women's Soccer

[AlaskanFAN 1,665]

Gonna roll out there today and see the ladies in action. Should be a beautiful day for a match.

[jared52 4,354]

GOAL! Gerow takes a pass at the top right corner of the box, turns to her left and shoot a dropping laser into the right side net for a 1-0 lead with 9’ to go.

Ole Miss IMMEDIALY answers with a lofted shot over LeBeau

1-1 8’ to go

[jared52 4,354]

1-1 HT. The ladies don’t look in sync at the moment and really haven’t looked at way all day. A long trip to BR with 2 OT seems to be showing. Still plenty to like in the half expect the goal right after scoring. Just need to find settle down a bit. OM doesn’t have a ton of speed to contend with so AU can find some space to work in. 

[jared52 4,354]

@AlaskanFAN How is/was (depending on when you see this) the crowd size?

[jared52 4,354]

Well flipped it to the Brave and the second half got 5 min in before I flipped back and OM has scored. 

2-1 OM 40’ to go

[jared52 4,354]

PENALTY! Gerow it taken down in the box and Bri Folds will step up and take the penalty. She shoots left and low with the keeper cheating that was but it’s into the corner to draw this one level.

2-2 34’ to go

[jared52 4,354]

OM takes the lead with 12’ to go as the SEC’s leading goal scorer takes another ball from midfield all the way to 10 yards out with no one from AU stepping up to stop her. AU still not showing much cohesion in play even with a fair amount of possession.

[jared52 4,354]

4’ to go and OM has a corner. AU is just not finding anyone with a final touch in the box to put something away. 

[jared52 4,354]

1:30 and AU has a free kick at midfield. Last attack here.

[jared52 4,354]

Free kick is easily cleared and OM is going to hand AU it’s first loss. Gotta put this performance behind them and get ready for more just like this. The SEC is a tough conference this year for sure.

[AUBwins 10,064]

It looked like we were putting a few things together before the final goal was made, but as you said, couldn't find the shot. 

[jared52 4,354]

Big test kicks off now as AU is takingnon South Carolina. AU dropped from 9 to 23 this week and USC is at 14. Haven’t seen them play but they are always good. 

[jared52 4,354]

Goal for USC. A strike from 25 yards out is too much for LeBeau. AU has show energy and pace, but USC is just a very technically sound team that was waiting for their chance and they didn’t miss it. 

1-0 USC 28’ 1H

[jared52 4,354]

1-0 HT. AU is getting the ball a good bit but lack any cohesion in the final third. They have had 1 or 2 good chances though. Just got to find a goal. 

[jared52 4,354]

Well, this one is looking grim as uSC hits a looping shot over LeBeau into the top left corner. AU has just not been good in the final third at all. 

2-0 USC 18’ to go

[augolf1716 21,095]

well damn

[jared52 4,354]

AU has had shots (like this one) but nothing at all to tax the keeper. It’s all been right at her. 

[jared52 4,354]

Been interesting game to watch though. uSC seems completely unbothered by AU having 60-70% of the possession and alone aU can muster are weak shots right at the keeper. 

[jared52 4,354]

3-0 USC. This one is over. LeBeau misplays a ball as AU was trying to hold off a USC forward. Just a bad night. We knew the schedule would be tougher. Hopefully the girls are learning for these last 3 games. They haven’t been poor overall, but there is a lot to figure out going forward. 

[jared52 4,354]

One of the biggest concerns is how much the attack has dropped off since Gadson was hurt. I have not heard anything about her injury but she is very sorely missed. 

[AUBwins 10,064]

Dang.  I hope they can turn it around. That has been Auburn's problem the last 3 games.  All the shots are right at the keeper.  Keeper is not leaving her line at all.  

[jared52 4,354]

AU at aTm and 2 min aTm has taken a 1-0 lead on a goal that probably should have been disallowed. 

Doesn’t matter as a min later aTm scores again. 

2-0 42’ to go in the half

[jared52 4,354]

AU has pulled one back but I didn’t see it. 

2-1 aTm 29’ to go 1H

[jared52 4,354]

This ref though...

[jared52 4,354]

aTm gets the 2 goal lead back. Having to check out of this one since my daughter has practice.
