Consolidating from the other thread:
Women were picked 3rd in the National Division of the BE behind ND and Rutgers
Ingrid wells was a unanimous selection to the preseason first team.
Women Received 6pts in the Soccer times Preseason poll
Women 28th of 64 teams on TopdrawerSoccer's tournament projection.
Women won their first game of the season 2-0 over American.
They play in the DC invitational next Friday vs. Bryant. I believe the game is at American though.

"Washington, D.C. - The Georgetown University women's soccer team will take part in the annual D.C. Invitational this weekend at American University. The Hoyas will play Bryant College on Friday, August 28 at 1 p.m. and Georgia Southern on Sunday, August 30 at noon."
Two must win games for the hoyas. Not much meat on the OOC. The games the following week could make or break the season. The women take on James Madison who finished last year at 19 in the polls but are unranked coming into this season and Santa Clara who is currently ranked 19th. The santa clara game will be huge if we can get a win.

Women play Bryant today at 1pm @ AU.
"Bryant completed its first Division I season a year ago going 5-9-3 and 2009 marks the Bulldogs' first year of competition in the Northeast Conference. The squad will have to replace nine performers including Danielle Malta, who graduated as the school record-holder for most minutes played (6,317) and was Defensive Player of the Year in the Northeast-10 in 2007. Senior Alex DiPippo will aim to fill Malta's void on the backline as a captain and staple in the starting lineup. DiPippo finished last year with two goals and four points. Sophomore Kaitlyn Hinck also returns up front after leading the team in goals and points as a rookie. "

The women defeated Georgia southern Today 3-0.
1. 11:16 GU Buonomo, Michaela (2) Wells, Ingrid; DURKEE, Caitlin cross from the left, header in the right side of goal
2. 44:38 GU Cabot, Catherine (1) (unassisted) high-arcing shot from top of goal box over goalkeeper's head
3. 56:25 GU Trujillo, Camille (4) WELLS, Ingrid cross from the right side, headed in past goalkeeper
Camille has scored in every game this season
The hoyas have scored 11 goals and surrendered 0.
Since I assume the tournament works on goal differential Georgetown should win the DC invitational even if American beats Bryant today since the Hoyas will be +9 and AU sits at +2 going into their game.

I was there for most of the game, along with the new head Hoya Hooligan. It easily could have been much worse - there were at least 3 or 4 shots off the crossbar, plus a couple of good saves by the Georgia Southern goalie. The Hoyas were clearly much more talented and organized; GSU only had about 2 real chances to get a goal.
On another note, apparently the "Blue Out" that AU students staged for the Georgetown/American game was quite a success in terms of attendance; there advertisements for it in the AU shuttle bus. Good thing the Hoyas triumphed.

On another note, apparently the "Blue Out" that AU students staged for the Georgetown/American game was quite a success in terms of attendance; there advertisements for it in the AU shuttle bus. Good thing the Hoyas triumphed. I'm not gonna hijack the thread beyond this post, but two things about this interested me: 1. AU does the "Blue Out" for a game every year it seems during their freshman orientation weekend--that's how they get so darn many students to show up. Whatever it is they're doing--making it mandatory, making it "NSO mandatory" (if you put it in the schedule book...), tapping some unheard of reserve of school spirit--it certainly works. They had a huge crowd last year for the GU-AU women's game on the same weekend. 2. AU's athletics website plays up the fact that the volleyball game set the D.C. volleyball attendance record (1,813 for the record): www.aueagles.com/sports/w-volley/2009-10/20090829 breaking the previous record of 1,500ish set in 2007 by AU at a similar event. Is that even accurate? Didn't the GU athletic department in some quixotic promotion attempt a couple seasons ago try to break the McDonough attendance record for a volleyball game--seriously, I remember this vividly enough that it was probably a GU-Long Beach State game in the late 1990s? And wasn't that attendance over 2,000? That just made me wonder. Consider yourselves tasked, Sports Information employees that read Hoyatalk. |

In fact if anything there were more than advertised. Great atmosphere. Funny thing was about half of the crowd left after the 3rd game. I don't know if there was a keg party or something starting up but it was a major exodus. |

Women went from recieveing one point in last weeks NSCAA poll to receiving 27 points in the national poll. Putting them in 36th place. Moving on up. If they win these two games vs. James Madison tomorrow and vs. #22 Santa Clara on sunday they could break the top 25.
Some how the soccer times poll had them losing 2 votes down to 7 pts from 9 pts. How we dropped after winning 2 games by a combined score of 9-0 is beyond me.
Also moved up form 6 to 5th in the NSCAA regional poll NorthEast division. But these polls are usually pretty bad and don't match the national ranking for instance marquette is 4 in the NE regional poll but only recieved 9 pts in the national poll. also in what world is marquette in the NE or ND for that matter? and why aren't we in the mid atlantic?

The women looked sharp and much more prepared for the season than I've seen them in the past couple of years. That said I think JMU was overrated by those rankings, we shall see this weekend if the Hoyas are for real.

Women lose a heart breaker in a golden goal over time 2-1. Hoyas really looked good and had the better run of play. Disappointing result, but the girls played well and showed they're legit.

Not too bad with holding a WCC team to a 2-1 overtime win. The WCC is one of the best women's soccer conferences in the national. I think the ACC and Pac-10 and the WCC are the three major conferences for women's soccer.

New NSCAA poll out. Women drop from receiving 27pts last week to just 9 this week. Ugh really wish we had gotten that win.
