They've added the FloSports broadcast links for all the home and Big East games to the schedule on GUHoyas. Thanks RusskyHoya....The problem with lack of respect in early rankings, which we should have from our history from 2016, is that if you start low, then lose one game or a so-so tie it has more of an effect if you start high, play as expected and have the same "blip".....It allows the critics to say: "See I suspected that"....We should pretty much expect to be top 15 preseason every year until we get knocked off the mantle.

Top Drawer Soccer has the Hoyas starting at #21, which feels about right www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/women

Scoreless draw. Impressed with the new speed up front and better depth.
…and Alex Bair’s broadcast debut.

Typical season opener, especially against an SEC club with SEC athletes and conditioning.

Top Drawer Soccer has the Hoyas starting at #21, which feels about right www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/womenThen we have the statistical...density of Chris Thomas, who does RPI-type analysis on NCAA women's soccer as a passion project. Everyone needs a hobby, I guess. His site is: rpiford1wsoccer.blogspot.com/2024/08/2024-article-1-pre-season-predictions.htmlHe has published his prediction/projection for 2024. He projects Georgetown to finish the season at #7 in RPI, which would be pretty dang good.

Unless something radically changed with the new Fox deal, I would assume the arrangement is the same as it has been for the past few years: FloSports carries all the Big East teams' home games, while road games are at the mercy of whoever is that home team's provider. If you look at the FloSports Big East page (https://www.flofc.com/collections/tag/big-east?view=live-and-upcoming), it only has the Providence games loaded in there (plus games where a Big East team is playing another FloSports conference, like the CAA) now, but I assume the rest will be added over the next week and a half. The Hoyas only play two non-conference road games this year. Most SEC games, including South Carolina's, are on SEC Network+ - that is, ESPN+. Maybe the Hoyas game will get upgraded to the real SEC Network? The game at Princeton will be on ESPN+. Many thanks Russky. Year 2 of no granddaughters playing but I'm still hooked on Hoya WSOC, MSOC, and MBB.... A reminder that it could be worse... Butler is not bothering to pay to produce a stream of their first couple of non-conference games.

The five years before that even better...Had a granddaughter in each five year period, and 2016 and 2018, especially 2018's record have to go down as the best with two Final Four finishes losing to U$C in 2016 0-1 and UNC in OT in 2018. Good teams after that but not the finishes of those two.
