The artifical turf looks great! Does anyone know if that is astro turf or field turf?

the ladies are really doing well in their first season and have won three straight beating Marywood, Christopher Newport, and Lindenwood. Though not DI competition, Coach Murphy is building this program the right way.

Surprised to see so many D3 teams on the schedule, especially ODAC schools. Have to wonder why Top-10 Lynchburg wasn't put on the schedule if they are going to schedule mediocre ODAC squads and Top-20 CNU

I dont know shuk, its a first year program...maybe they want to give them winnable games to build confidence on maybe? Would you want a first year program playing top 5 teams where they have a chance to get smashed into the floor or play teams that are at least in some degree on par with them talentwise and get some wins under your belt and build their confidence going forward?

There are terrible D1 teams you can schedule. If their talent is just on level with D3s though there is an issue...

Being a first-year D1 program is no excuse for recruiting talent that can only beat D3 teams, and struggle to beat a top-20 D3 team (CNU) at that.

Well that's mighty Christian of you there. Glad to see you are disobeying one of God's commands with that statement.

Look you dont know why they scheduled the way they did, I dont know why they scheduled the way they did, they are a first year program, I dont think its fair to assume that they are only "D3 talent"

I was a coach of a D3 men's soccer start up. You schedule who you have to, then you schedule who has a name you feel you can compete with and then you schedule a few games you feel you can win. Imagine you are a recruit at any level and a school is recruiting you and the year before tehy were 0 and however many games they had played. I don't care who you are and what level your playing at that is not something a recruit truly want to walk into.
