Aggies lose, 2-1. That's a tough loss after some quality wins. But they'll bounce back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I've never seen them play so poorly as they did tonight. They were completely flat, didn't have any energy at all. They've got to win their last two games to claim a share of the Big12 Championship now.

The team seemed very slow tonight, and their passing game was off.
I think the players hesitate too much when going for the ball; it seems as though they are more concerned with being in a good defensive position if the opponent gets the ball rather than getting there first.

They missed many goal opportunities with footwork which allowed more defenders the time to move in front of the goal.

I think more goals could have been scored against this team with hard fast strikes.

This was not the same team that has been playing all season, and hopefully it was just one bad game.

Good luck to the team, come back fighting.

Oh, and don't forget the horrible officiating. Many bad calls were made, not all of them, but more than is acceptable.

The Aggies didn't lose because of poor officiating. In fact, they benefitted from a red card call and played against only 10 Missouri players for 85 minutes. The Aggies looked slow and didn't complete passes because they are not a very fast team and it shows against teams who are fast. Look at the losses against Clemson and Princeton, and near losses to OU and Colorado. Let's hope some adjustments are made before the Aggies start post-season play outside of the Big 12.

Yeah, you can't blame officiating (Although some of it was questionable). We just came out flat and underestimated our opponent. You would think after last year's debacle we would have known better. The worst part is that Missouri had only 10 on the field for 90% of the game and we still couldn't make anything happen.

As long as we win out, we're ok. We lose another game and it's goodbye Regular season Championship.

What a shame after a highlight reel win over nebraska. Co-championships are always a disappointment, and even that's not a sure thing now. And the loss was at our house with the opponent a player short virtually the whole game. Oh well, bounce back.

The ladies come back from a huge road weekend, play flat and lose a game. Certainly not the end of the world.

We have two games left to play. Nebraska and Kansas each have four games left to play. I expect that we will win out, which will give us at least a co-championship. Nebraska has to win their last four to get a piece of the championship, and if they do, we still have the tie breaker advantage in the conference tournament. The team will be fine. They will finish strong and make a great run in the post season. Just watch.

Gig 'em

I forgot to mention... did anybody else get the feeling that just everything was going wrong last night? Not just on the field, but even during halftime when the PA Announcers played the Spirit instead of the War Hymn as the girls came back on the field. Everything just seemed dead.

And I would really like to see more player combinations utilized. If the starters are flat or can't get it done, then why not try something new. We have some faster midfielders who might have made a difference last night and challenged the ball better against a faster MU. And we have some defenders who could have possessed the ball and started an attack from the back rather than just kicking the ball out. I wish G would go deeper into his bench and not just one or two at a time, but different combinations to counter different opponents' strengths.

We outshot them 16-4 I believe, hit the crossbar, produced some great saves from their backup keeper. It just didn't work out.

The most disappointing thing was that both of their goals came after we had the chance to clear the ball.
