UP vs. San Francisco

I'm watching the game on live stats and hearing the crowd cheer from my open window and apparently we've got another pretty good Lopez playing soccer on the bluff. Frankie Lopez has scored two and he's still got about ten minutes to go for the hat trick.

Pilots win with a big 2nd half.... Wow, the men's team is REALLY coming on strong down the stretch.... If I recall, there is a big home match vs. SCU coming up..... We could be dangerous if we are able to get into the post season!

The Men certainly are playing more like a team. Boom Ball is mostly gone, and they are a lot more fun to watch.

There we some great passing sequences, and a lot more hustle to the ball than in the recent past

Alex and Frankie teamed up nicely a couple of times.

In the last NCAA RPI, the Pilots men were at #61. I don't follow the men's RPI that much, but with two wins this week, they are due for a pretty good rise in the RPI. That makes the upcoming games really critical. There's a possibility they could make if into the NCAA Tournament. With the women in, it would be great to have both in.

Don't forget the Men's NCAA tournament is a 48 team field, so they'll need to climb quite a bit.

The weather was excellent and the men got the job done with tough defense, possession in the midfield and coordinated attacks. It was a pleasure to be there and enjoy fall D1 college soccer of this quality!
