The Women won 1-0 at Monmouth on Friday and lost 6-0 at Penn State tonight. Penn State went 18-6-1 last year and lost at Florida State in the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals.
On Sunday October 20 at 1:00 P.M., we host UNCW, whose goalkeeper, Sydney Schneider, played for Jamaica in the Women's World Cup. I don't know if I've ever gone to a college game with an athlete who had already played for a national team in any sport. NCAA rules allow college athletes to play for national teams as long as they don't get paid.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
I know there's been a few, although I have no idea if you ever saw them. Ayanna McClean played for Trinidad's national field hockey team before she came to Hofstra.
Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
Other than 34 Men's Basketball games, the only games I've been to are CAA Semifinals in Men's Soccer on November 13, 2015 and Women's Soccer on November 3, 2017. I saw the end of Women's Basketball last year before the Men played, but I'm not counting that, and there weren't any national team players anyway.
Richard Martinez played for Puerto Rico's Men's Soccer team, and Lizanne Murphy played for Canada's Women's Basketball team after graduating.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
https://gohofstra.com/news/2019/9/1/wom ... rdham.aspx says Lucy Porter tied the school record with 4 goals in a 6-1 win hosting Fordham. It says:
"The four goals match the program record set by Suzanne Newell against Central Connecticut State University on Oct. 5, 1996. The single-game effort is also the most goals scored by a Pride player since she scored three goals against Towson University on Sept. 20, 2018."
One of my pet peeves is when a source says that X is the most since previous event Y when Y had less than X.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
We won 5-0 hosting Elon, who was 7-2-1 before the game. We're 2-0-0 in the CAA and 8-3-0 overall.

We are now up to #24 in the latest RPI rankings. Huge game with UNCW this Sunday that could decide who gets top seed for CAA Tournament.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
We got no respect from poll voters. We didn't get any points, and Gonzaga, who is 63rd in the RPI, got 1 point.HofstraPride1 wrote: https://gohofstra.com/news/2019/10/15/w ... op-25.aspx

UNCW is 86th in the RPI. Sydney Schneider is playing great as a goalkeeper and won CAA Defensive Player of the Week. Hofstra doesn't allow many shots, but when we allow shots we have a poor save percentage. With Charleston having had two goalkeepers who played enough to qualify, we don't have any of the top ten in save percentage. UNCW leads the CAA in goal differential. They're 5-1. Hofstra is 5-0-1, and a win or draw against UNCW followed by 2 wins is enough for the regular season title, which lets you host the CAA Tournament First Round game with the winner playing you, your Semifinal, and the Final if you reach it. Hofstra ends at Towson, who is last, and at William & Mary, who is tied for second-to-last with Drexel, and the Tribe have a much worse overall record and goal differential than the Dragons. William & Mary is 194th in the RPI, which is second worst, and Towson is by far the worst in 296th of 338. The CAA is much better in the Women's Soccer RPI than the Men's Soccer RPI.
Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
The CAA Final is on Saturday November 9 when Men's Basketball hosts Monmouth. The CAA has not announced the Women's Soccer times, and if Hofstra hosts the Final, I hope they don't make it at the same time.
Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
In the past, CAA soccer championships have been earlier, like 1:00
Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
1:00 is possible considering every regular season game today and next Sunday is then.
https://portal.stretchinternet.com/hofstra/ looks like it will have free video of today's game. http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=267302 will have statistics.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
Emily Moxley scored at 31:30 after Skylar Kuzmich came out of the goal and did not get the ball. Miri Taylor equalized at 54:15 to end Sydney Schneider's scoreless streak at 506 minutes. We used 15 players and had 8 play the whole game, which is the same amount as if a professional team had 3 substitutions (rather then unlimited) and used them all. UNCW used 20 players and had only 3 play the whole game. If UNCW is a deeper team, the fact that the CAA Semifinals are played the same week as the First Round, rather than the old format of the Semifinals being 2 days before the Final, could be good for us.

Now up to 15 in the latest RPI rankings. I wonder what we would have been had we won yesterday. Evan, any idea how ties are factored into the RPI?

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
https://sites.google.com/site/rpifordiv ... pi-formula says ties are 0.5 wins and 0.5 losses, which is how teams do it in their winning percentage, but doesn't match the 3 points for a win and 1 point for a tie system. The advantage of counting a tie as 0.5 wins and 0.5 losses is that the combined record for Division I teams against Division I teams will be .500, whereas the average points per game for all teams depends on how many ties there are. The NCAA doesn't provide values, but https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid= ... YzNlNGEyMA does. Unfortunately, there are adjusted and unadjusted values, using the ranks you can tell that the NCAA uses adjusted values, the RPI formula produces unadjusted values, and the link doesn't give the adjustment formula. If you change yesterday's tie to a win and make the same change from unadjusted to adjusted (+.0055), we would be 12th.
ME, NH, VT, RI, MA, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, and MD combined have 87 House districts, which is exactly 20 percent. I do this to estimate what percent of the population is in those states. In those states, Brown has the best RPI in 5th, and Hofstra is second. The top RPI by a team in a top conference in those states is Rutgers in 21st. If we win three games, lose in the CAA Final, and don't get an at-large bid, we could get snubbed with a better RPI than the 2005-2006 Men's Basketball team. Among the 298 teams not in the ACC, SEC, or Pac-12, we're third behind Brown and Wisconsin. Not beating UNCW ended our perfect home record, which leaves 15 teams who are perfect at home.
Your link doesn't work because it's missing the "h" at the beginning.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
Thanks for the detailed explanation and of the incorrect link. Hopefully we take care of business these next few games and leave it out of committee's hands, but if we are in top- 30 of RI hard to see us not getting at large. We were 24th when we got one in 2015.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
We're the ninth and final team in Others Receiving Votes with 4 points. Brown, who is fifth in the RPI, entered in 24th.
Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
In a game that started at 3:00 P.M., we won 5-1 at Towson. The bad news is that at 74:32, Kuzmich left, and sub Grace Watson-Carr allowed a goal on the only shot on goal she faced. If Kuzmich is injured, she doesn't have much time to get better before the CAA and hopefully NCAA Tournament. Lucy Porter scored 2 goals, and Miri Taylor, Alia Mentzell, and Sam Diamond scored 1. We had 4 assists, with 3 by Sabrina Bryan and 1 by Mentzell.
Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
There's a chance that we will be the 1 seed and face Elon, who we beat 5-0, or Northeastern, who we tied 2-2. Here is what we need to win the regular season title tomorrow, which will go to us (20 points), UNCW (19 points), or Delaware (18 points):
1. Win at William & Mary
2. Draw at William & Mary and Delaware win or tie hosting UNCW
3. Loss by 5 or fewer goals and Delaware hosting UNCW is a tie
We have head-to-head tiebreaker over Delaware. If we tie with UNCW, their CAA goal differential will be +11. We're at +16 with 9 more goals scored, so realistically we have the tiebreaker over them.

Re: 2019 Women's Soccer
She's starting today, so she's okay. http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=265902 has statistics. https://portal.stretchinternet.com/wand ... Type=video has video. http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=269928 has statistics of UNCW at Delaware, which matters to us if we don't win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bItjgyIKO4A has video of that game.
Edit: We took the lead and W&M tied it at 1. The statistics say it was a goal by "Team." The statistics say we have 2 shots on goal, W&M has none, and neither team has a save. If that was true, we would lead 2-0. My guess is that we scored an own goal and the statistics are incorrectly giving us a shot on goal for that.
The video says 0-0, so it could be behind, but it doesn't have a clock, and there's no way to scroll, so it's useless.
Edit again: It just reached halftime. We have more shots, 8 to 2, although that might include our own goal as a shot for us. Sabrina Bryan has 4 shots including our only goal. Jordan Litteboy has the only yellow card for either team. There weren't many corner kicks, with 1 for us and 2 for W&M. Fouls were 4 each, and offsides were 1 each. Delaware leads 1-0 hosting UNCW. If all scores remain, the standings will be:
Hofstra: 6-0-3 for 21 points and head-to-head tiebreaker over Delaware
Delaware: 7-2-0 for 21 points
UNCW: 6-2-1 for 19 points*
Elon: 5-2-2 for 17 points*
Northeastern: 4-3-2 for 14 points
JMU: 4-4-1 for 13 points
W&M: 3-4-2 for 11 points
Charleston: 2-6-1 with 7 points
Drexel: 1-7-1 for 4 points
Towson: 0-8-1 for 1 point
* Elon is scoreless. If they win and UNCW loses, Elon will win the head-to-head tiebreaker over UNCW, and UNCW will fall to fourth.
Towson trailed 1-0 at halftime before scoring in the first minute of the second half. They're in danger of having the first pointless CAA season since Drexel in 2003. Towson has been in the bottom two in seven of the last eight years, and below .500 in CAA games in all 19 years!
