I kept on forgetting to start this thread, but I always like to set up these threads for all the sports to account for any off-season and spring (for this sport) scrimmage and training period news.
With the 2022 season over for a few months, there will be a little catch-up to do, so there might be quite a few posts in quick succession.
1st, just a quick look back with some summary numbers from this past season:
Record - 8-7-5 overall; 2-6-3 in Pac 12 play, which equaled them ending up in a 3 way tie for 9th place in the conference with 9 points.
RPI - After the NCAA Tournament concluded in early December***, the Buffs ended up with a #69 RPI (per https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-women/d1/ncaa-womens-soccer-rpi)
Massey - #40
(***Not nearly as excited now as I would have been before their not-to-bright AD decided to leave the Pac 12, but still want to congratulate the UCLA TEAM for winning another NCAA Championship. If anyone likes exciting soccer matches, they might want to hunt down highlights of the championship match. It looks like the Bruins had a crazy comeback, being down 2-0 to North Carolina until around 10 minutes left in the match, when UCLA scored their 1st. Then, if I remember the highlight correctly, they scored the tying goal off a corner kick with around 20-30 SECONDS left in regulation. Then, they scored the match and championship winner relatively late (107th minute) in the 2nd overtime.)
