UNC Women's Soccer 2026-2027

I think he just means because we won’t get the points for winning, we’ll be behind other teams.

There is no guarantee we would have won. FSU has more than had our number in recent history, are a very strong team, and we are not unbeatable. Either way, it is what it is, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by pondering hypotheticals that will never be known....beat the teams in front of you, whomever they are, and things will take care of themselves.

My comment wasn’t about guaranteeing a win FWIW.

Just pointed out if we’re playing one game less than everyone else, we’re inherently at a disadvantage due to the point system.

Not a huge issue - we’ll be fine.

Looking at both teams schedules, it isn't possible to reschedule this game without changing days of other scheduled games. However if you look at the points, if we take care of business this won't hurt us. We have played 2 games less than Louisville and tied with them. 2 points ahead of Wake and 1 less game. If we just say focused on the match we are playing it won't matter.

the good news is FSU needed that game a lot more than we did. They are #45 in RPI .

only 6 teams make the ACCT and they are tied for 13th

we moved up to #1 in RPI after MSU lost again.

Theoretically the game could be made up on November 8 IF we secured a top 2 seed and bye in the ACCT, and FSU failed to make the tournament. However, I see no advantage in doing that, taking on the travel (unless FSU was willing to come here), risking injury, and giving up the rested legs that come with a 1st round bye.

I wouldnt think they would schedule a make up at the start of the tournament. The only way I see is having to move other games around which Im betting ACC doesn't want to l do

 

[bradarb08]

I'm assuming we'll be a little rusty tomorrow after an extended break, but it's also really nice that our team got some extra time to rest their legs and recover large or small injuries.

 

[3397char]

If we do play the FSU game, I vote for after Manning and Stanislaus are back and Antonucci has more time to heal

 

[tmatheny]

I'm just excited to see them in action tomorrow!

 

[JohnnyYen]

Next two games on the road, right?

 

[Nate1972]

Next two games on the road, right?

yes, Clemson and Wake

 

[oldwell]

Excited for this one

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

Still no Trayner. Any word ?

 

[unc80]

Why didn't Pennie pass to the right? We'll never know.

 

[3397char]

That foul on Alvarez was a yellow

 

[unc80]

Finally!

 

[3397char]

Munson!

Gathers the loose ball rebound at the top of the box and DRIVES it to the near corner.

 

[3397char]

UNC 1-0 at the half.

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

Can the mid terms get over soon enough?

 

[tmatheny]

Still no Trayner. Any word ?

Was wondering that myself

 

[tmatheny]

Also wondering about Stratton- she hasn't been seen for a while. I had assumed a concussion against Duke but that's been several weeks now.

 

[bradarb08]

Was wondering that myself

Commentators said she's working her way back from injury. Funny though because when she was out the first couple of games they were saying "illness."

 

[3397char]

clearly not a penalty. Munson had position AND that was a flop

edit: and refs agree, but announcers made too much of it.

 

[unc80]

Frustrating game. Need the insurance goal.

 

[3397char]

UNC doing a great job staying aggressive with the 1-0 lead.

 

[3397char]

Frustrating game. Need the insurance goal.

By my count, UNC missed wide on 3-4 golden chances plus two balls off the crossbar

 

[3397char]

but so far, zero Clemson shots. hard to lose when they don't shoot.

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

What makes riggs field “historic”

 

[3397char]

Ugh, Devey may end up in concussion protocol on that one. Hope she is OK.

edit: Devey returns late in the game; whew!

 

[3397char]

What makes riggs field “historic”

Maybe our 37-1-1 record there?

 

[unc80]

Clemson has completely seized the momentum.

 

[3397char]

Only two subs so far in this game with 12:39 left, and now Clemson gets off two shots and we have two women with leg cramps...

 

[THEericstrattonrushchairman]

Another fine showing by our student athletes

 

[oldwell]

Beat Wake

 

[3397char]

Maybe our 37-1-1 record there?

Make that 38-1-1

GO HEELS!

 

[UltimateHeel]

Glad to see Devey return to play!

The 2 week layoff really showed today, we weren’t sharp and didn’t have our stamina.

Hope we play much better against Wake.

Clemson dominated the last 15 minutes, to the point that they outshot us in the 2nd half. All of their shots were in the last 15.

 

[tmatheny]

Disappointing not to use the bench more especially with now having to travel to Wake for Sunday.
