2012 Big West Men's Soccer Tournament

The seeds have been set and the Big West Tournament begins today.  Representing the North Division is UC Davis and Cal Poly and representing the South Division is Cal State Northridge and Cal State Fullerton. The matchups are as follows:

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2012 2:00 PM
S2. Fullerton vs N1. UC Davis

This matchup that happened one month ago ended in a 2-1 win for UC Davis.  However, Fullerton's Ian Ramos will be the key in this matchup.  The freshman phenom has been outstanding this season, collecting 5 points and 3 assists, averaging 2.3 shots/game.  The Aggies however, have been a much more well rounded team, depending on the conference's top defense and outstanding goalkeeping by Omar Zeenni (who averages under a goal/game).  I'm going to give advantage to the defense here:

My Prediction: Aggies win 1-0

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2012 7:00 PM
N2. Cal Poly vs S1. Northridge

These two teams are very evenly matched by looking at the in-conference statistics and it shows by their lone matchup this year (a 1-0 victory for the Matadors).  Northridge's Segi Lev-Ari and Mackenzie Pridam have been goal machines, collecting 12 and 11 goals each respectively.  The goalkeepers (all three of them) have been also instrumental for how well the teans have done.  While Northridge won the earlier match, Cal Poly has more momentum going right now, beating UCSB twice in front of large crowds, thus sealing their playoffs.

My Prediction: Cal Poly 2, Northridge 1 (OT)

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012 1:00 PM
*Cal Poly vs *UC Davis
Considering that two of Davis' three losses came to the Mustangs, I don't see that trend changing...

My Prediction: Cal Poly wins 1-0

Big West Tournament Preview: Women's Soccer

The seeds are set and playoffs begin tonight for the Big West crown.  Tonight's semifinals take place at Anteater Stadium at UCI beginning at 5:00 PM.

Semifinal No. 1: No. 2 Cal State Northridge vs No. 3 Cal Poly, 5:00 PM
This matchup is an intriguing one: Northridge held their playoff position by knocking out the defending BWC champs LBSU in double overtime, while Cal Poly was conference leader until the final weekend.  History is on the Mustangs side as Cal Poly is 7-0-1 in semifinals all-time while Northridge has never won a semifinals match.  However, Northridge is riding all the momentum off that LBSU win.  Head-to-head this season, the Matadors and the Mustangs drew 2-2, and we can expect more of the same for tonight's matchup.  However, I expect Goalkeeper of the Year, Cynthia Jacobo, in her senior year to lead the Matadors to their first Big West postseason victory.

My Prediction: Northridge 2, Cal Poly 0

Semifinal No. 2: No. 1 Cal State Fullerton vs. No. 4 UCI, 7:30 PM
Who's ready for an upset?  UCI comes in riding a 0-1-3 "safe" record to keep their last seed.  Home-field advantage is a powerful thing though, especially in soccer.   UCI also won the only matchup between these two this season, 3-1 at Fullerton.  Fullerton's Stacey Fox has been averaging 1.00 PPG, however, if she can be shut down like UCI did earlier, the Titans will have big problems beating what seems to be a desperate team that needs just a spark of life.

My Prediction: UCI 1, Fullerton 0

Final: No. 2 Northridge vs No. 4 UCI
My Prediction: Northridge 1, UCI 1 (Northridge wins 4-3 on Penalties)

Week 11 Preview: Men's Soccer

The other previews and recaps will come later tonight, but due to time constraints, I wanted to get this done quickly.

We are now in the last week of the regular season for Men's Soccer and half the playoff teams are set.  Cal State Northridge has clinched the South and UC Davis just needs to not lose to make playoffs.  As of right now, only UCI is officially out of the running for playoffs.  There are multiple scenarios that need to happen for teams to make playoffs:

NORTH:
UC Davis: just don't lose
Sacramento State: win or draw their next two matches (H vs UCSB, A at UCD)
Cal Poly: win their next two matches (A at UCD, H vs UCSB*), win and a draw and Sac State must lose twice
UCSB: must win twice (A at Sac State, A at Cal Poly*) and hope Cal Poly and Sac State lose twice

SOUTH
Cal State Fullerton: win once
UCR: win twice (A at UCI, A at Fullerton) and hope Fullerton loses or draws the first game

Today, UCSB travels to the state capital to play Sacramento State early, as does Cal Poly who travels to UC Davis.  Then later this evening, Northridge and Fullerton duke it out, while UCI looks to play spoiler against a hopeful UCR team.  Finally, on Sunday: Sac State and UCD renew their rivalry for the second time this season, UCI and Northridge play an essentially meaningless game, UCR and Fullerton fight for the South's final position (assuming UCR beats UCI) and round two of the Cali Coast Classic continue with even bigger stakes (hopefully).

2012 Week 10 Preview: Men's Soccer

UCSB needs a spark of life.  After being ranked in the top 10 for most of this season, their sloppy playing streaked has dropped them to No. 25.  That spark, could come tonight, on Senior Night, against Stanford.  In a quick non-conference game, UCSB has the chance to defeat a below-average Stanford team who's had some tough luck in conference play.  However, it's conference points that the Gauchos need...

On Saturday, Northridge, who is safely in first in the South, travels to UCR who are on the outside looking in for playoffs.  In the meantime, UCI looks to upset Fullerton so their name can be put in semi-final contention, while Cal Poly and Sacramento State duke it out for the coveted second North seed (both are in a tie for second with 13 points).  Finally, on Sunday, UCSB looks to strangle UC Davis' hold on the top spot in the North division.

2012 Week 11 Preview: Women's Soccer

Early Friday post means that there is an early game.  With Cal Poly only picking up one point last week and also getting blown out by a surging Fullerton team, the Mustangs have to win this weekend to essentially be safe for the semi-final seeding.  With four teams within three points of each other, lets get to the action:

On Friday, fourth place Fullerton (15 points) takes on UC Davis, second place sharers UCI and Northridge, both with 16 points, square off for an extremely important match, Hawaii travels to the mainland to play LBSU (just outside of the semifinal spot with 12 points) and UCR plays Pacific.  A win by either UCI or Northridge would be devastating to the other team, this makes it our GAME OF THE WEEK.

On Sunday, simultaneous kickoffs will be in place as Northridge plays LBSU (which could also determine playoffs), Hawaii plays UCI, UCR travels to UC Davis, UCSB and Cal Poly square off and Fullerton plays Pacific.  It may take both playing days this weekend to determine playoffs, but that's what makes it exciting.

Week 10 Recap

I'm trying something new with the recaps today, so bear with me.

Men's Soccer:

And a last minute result (from Wednesday), Louisville assisted in continuing UCI's woes, with a 2-1 victory.

Women's Volleyball:
Cal Poly got into the winner's column this past weekend with 2 five-game wins over UCR and Fullerton.  Megan McConnell absolutely dominated the floor, with 23 kills.

On Friday, Fullerton beat UCSB in five, as did Cal Poly over UCR (as mentioned above).  On Saturday, Cal Poly continued the win parade with a five-game shocker over the Titans, LBSU swept UCI (while Winkler who's on watch, racked up 26 more digs to bring the magic number to 173), Northridge beat UC Davis three games to one, UCSB defeated UCR by the same score and Hawaii took five games to defeat Pacific.

Women's Soccer:
Big results came from last weekend in women's metric football, as the top four spots became crowded with all the teams within three points of each other.  On Friday, UCR shocked the Mustangs into a draw, giving the Highlanders their first conference points of the season.  Also on Friday, Northridge dominated Pacific 6-1, UCSB defeated Fullerton 4-2, and Hawaii beat UC Davis 3-2.  On Saturday, UCI defeated LBSU in double OT, 1-0.  Finally, on Sunday, Fullerton closed the gap with a 4-0 shackling of Cal Poly, Northridge continued their win streak beating UC Davis 1-0, UCR upset UCSB 1-0 and Hawaii beat Pacific 2-1.

No awards this week as I'm in a rush to get things out. Sorry!

2012 Week 10 Preview: Women's Soccer

EVERYONE PANIC! Cal Poly is still undefeated in conference play.  Continuing their hot start, the Mustangs refused to be slowed down last week and will look to continue their undefeated streak.  LBSU got back into the winners column after a slow conference start, they now sit in third place threatening to take the top spot should Cal Poly fail to hold it.

Tonight, Cal Poly travels to Riverside to play the Highlanders, Pacific goes to Northridge, UCSB travels to Fullerton and UC Davis goes to the Islands to take on Hawaii.  On Saturday, HATED RIVALS UCI and LBSU play in what should be an entertaining game to make up for lack of games.  Finally, on Sunday, Cal Poly plays Fullerton, UC Davis plays Northridge, UCSB goes to UCR and Pacific travels to Hawaii.

2012 Week 9 Preview: Men's Soccer

ALL HAIL THE GREATEST COLLEGE SOCCER RIVALRY EVER! UCSB and Cal Poly square off on Fox Soccer Channel tonight in what's sure to be an epic matchup.  Both teams are tied for third place in the North (gasp!) but the Gauchos are sitting at No. 16 in the nation after a rebound win from a two-game losing streak.  Moshe's probably gearing up for the game and I wouldn't blame him (hence the reason for no preview?).  Expect an extremely large crowd, as last year's Classic drew nearly 25,000 fans between the two games.

About the OTHER games this weekend: Hate week continues as UC Davis takes on Sacramento State, Fullerton plays UCR and Northridge plays UCI.  If Sacramento State can beat the Aggies, they will take a dominating lead in the division with 16 points, however, a loss puts UC Davis in first.

Week 9 Recap

Note, recap will also include Wednesday and Thursday's game as I did not preview them.

Women's Volleyball:
Despite sweeping their matches last week and remaining undefeated in Big West Conference play, Hawaii dropped a spot in the national polls to No. 9 despite beating Northridge and UC Davis on Thursday.  UCI went 1-2 (win against UCR, losses against Fullerton and SDSU) over the weekend despite Kristin Winkler racking up more digs.  She now has 1974 digs, 199 away from the Big West record.

Last Thursday, LBSU defeated UCR and Fullerton beat UCI; on Friday, Pacific swept Cal Poly, UCSB beat UC Davis and Hawaii beat Northridge.  Saturday brought two more sweeps and two regular victories, as UC Davis broomed the Mustangs, UCI swept rivals UCR, Fullerton beat rivals LBSU and UCSB took Pacific to five games and won.  Early games this week included an Aztec sweep of UCI on Tuesday, a Northridge five game duel with Pacific, and a late night victory for Hawaii.

Men's Soccer:
Last Friday, Sacramento State drew Cal Poly after a double overtime battle.  On Saturday, UC Davis assisted in a 2 game losing streak for the Gauchos, beating them 1-0, followed by a UCI win over Fullerton and an overtime Northridge victory over UCR.  Earlier this week, Cal Poly took down UC Davis and UCSB got back in the winners column against Sac State on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, Fullerton won in a MACtion-style goalfest over Northridge 5-4 and UCR dominated UCI 4-1.

Women's Soccer:
On Friday, LBSU defeated UC Davis 1-0, Cal Poly and Northridge drew 2-2, UCSB beat Hawaii 1-0 and UCI beat Pacific 2-1.  Finally, on Saturday, Cal Poly dominated UC Davis 5-2, LBSU beat Pacific 2-0, Northridge defeated UCSB 1-0, UC Davis and UCI tied 1-1 and Fullerton beat UCR 1-0.

And now it's time for our weekly awards:

Big West Confidential Team of the Week: Team(s), the Northridge-Fullerton goalfest! 9 goals overall in the match, one winner, all in regulation.  Plus, it's obvious that neither one of these goalies are getting a DPOW this week...

Big West Confidential Offensive Player of the Week: Fullerton's Ian Ramos for scoring a hat-trick in 17 minutes...that, sir, is Messi-style.

Big West Confidential Defensive Player of the Week: Kristin Winkler for a furious 77 digs over the weekend to bring her within 199 digs of the Big West record.

Awards in bold mean unanimous decision.

2012 Week 8 Preview: Men's Soccer

NO MORE UNBEATENS! UCSB IS DOWN AND O--- no they're not.  Suffering one loss didn't kill the Gauchos as they remain ranked No. 8/11 in the nation.  On the other hand, Northridge was rewarded handsomely for knocking off a top 10 team, as No. RV (27)/21 in the nation.  Sacramento State is undefeated in conference play and UCI, who was ranked in preseason is 0-4 in conference play.  A quick word to UCR: DISCIPLINE!

Conference play continues on Friday, as Cal Poly looks to knock of Sacramento State.  On Saturday, UCSB travels to UCD, Fullerton squares off at UCI and UCR looks to get back to national prominence with a trip to Northridge.  Finally on Tuesday, UCD goes to Cal Poly and Sacramento State goes to UCSB for rare weeknight conference matchups.

2012 Week 9 Preview: Women's Soccer

After a week long hiatus due to work related things, we're back with previewing the teams this week.  I also hope to have an "I went to the game," from the UCSB-UCR match as well as a photo montage from the season from various writers and contributors (All 3-4 of us! We need YOU to send in the events you go to!).

Let's get started: after a surprising start to Big West play, the Mustangs of Cal Poly lead the metric football standings.  The Lady Mustangs are 4-0 in conference play, their best start since 2002.  Also worth noting, is LBSU, who after a surging start has dropped halfway down the table.  With five games to go in the season and two games out of first, can the 49ers reclaim the top of the table?

Friday's lineup brings some intrigue, as Cal Poly squares off against Northridge at home, LBSU travels north to Davis, Hawaii leaves the islands to go to the lagoon as they play UCSB and UCI travels to Pacific.  On Sunday, Hawaii goes to knock the Mustangs of their pedestal, LBSU goes to Pacific, Northridge travels to UCSB, UCI plays UCD and UCR goes to Fullerton.

Recap: Men's Soccer UCSB vs UCI Friday (10/6)

The Game
 In what would prove to be a challenging game, UCI rose to the challenge and played as they normally do against the #4 UCSB Gauchos. UCI was trying to turn around their entire season on this one match, a win would indicate the potential to take on any team in Big West and a possibility at a run in the NCAA tournament. UCSB needed the win because losing against an unranked team which is doing so badly overall would ruin their RPI.
The Goals

 About 18 minutes into the first half UCI took the lead as Lester Hayes III made an undramatic goal as UCSB goalkeeper Austin Mansker did not respond fast enough to block it, perhaps expecting it to go wide. A few minutes into the second half Nic Ryan would put UCSB in a tie as he lofted a ball which the UCI goalkeeper was unable to reach as the ball fell shortly out of his reach. Everything indicated it would end in a draw as UCSB and UCI both pushed and defended well. Austin Mansker made his fair share of super mario-esque saves as he would run out of his position in the goal box and punch balls as if they were little brick boxes from which he could receive coins. This was very impressive even though at one point he was pulled down and failed to effectively punch the ball, leaving it to roll loosely in the box with no goalie to keep it out. With the clock running down and less than 30 seconds left UCSB was awarded a corner kick. Nic Ryan made the kick which was easily deflected by the towering UCI players, as everyone scattered to rearrange into practiced formations Nic Ryan was able to run down the ball and effectively took the same kick again, except this time it would curve toward the box missing Peter McGlynn's attempt to redirect it ,missing UCI's attempts to kick it out, and just out of reach of UCI goalkeeper Michael Breslin's arms. Thus the game ended 2-1 with the miraculous golden goal.

Conclusion
 The match turned into a clash of the giants as both teams were pressured and played effectively. While UCI may currently be unranked it's clear that deep within them lives the foundation of what they've been taught by coach Kuntz. The Gauchos remain undefeated in the year at 8-0-3 and take on CSU Northridge on Sunday (10/7) at 5 PM.

2012 Week 7 Preview: Women's Soccer

Another week in the books and as I've mentioned before, LBSU is back in the national rankings.  Tonight Northridge plays their last conference game of the year when they take on No. 22 Portland.  It they win tonight, they will be above .500 to start conference play tomorrow.

On Friday, No. 21 LBSU takes on UCR, UCI travels a full 20 minutes to play Fullerton, Pacific travels to Cal Poly, UCSB goes to UCD and Hawaii travels to Cal State Bakersfield for a tune-up before they start conference play.  Then, on Sunday, Pacific travels to UCSB, UCD goes to Cal Poly, LBSU plays Fullerton, Hawaii plays Northridge and rivals square off in UCI and UCR.

2012 Week 6 Preview: Men's Soccer

Welcome to conference play everyone!  The scheduling is strange this season: teams play a ten-game conference season.  This means that each team plays their division teams twice (six games) and each team in the opposing division once (another four games).  Sagi Lev-Ari ranks third in the nation with nine goals so far, so we'll keep a special watch on him throughout the rest of the season.

The matches all start tomorrow night with Sacramento State at UCI, UCD at Northridge, Cal Poly versus Fullerton and No. 3 UCSB versus No. 24 UCR.  Then on Sunday, the stacked schedule continues, with Cal Poly facing UCR, Sacramento State playing Northridge, UCD plays at UCI and UCSB travels to Fullerton.
