Re: Spring Schedule 2013
I should mention that Kaila was on crutches, and the scuttlebutt was an ACL injury.
Tough luck. I hope she heals well.

Does everything I say have to be wrong?
Ok. Seattle, then OSU.
I forgot the Canada u20 doesnt count as one of the five competition days in the Spring.

Re: Spring Schedule 2013
Maybe you shouldn't have stopped off for those 12% beers on the way home from the game. I just looked at the Seattle U website. It says they are playing 2 games on the 14th. PSU at 10:30 and UP at 3:00. That is pretty ambitious.

On the downside, two weeks ago is a way too current if you've torn your ACL in the interim.

Re: Spring Schedule 2013
Second half just started vs Seattle U and Pilots lead 5-1. Frisbie has a hat trick and Capelle has a pair. UP winning all over the field. SU scored on a free kick after dubious foul.

Re: Spring Schedule 2013
It was a fun game for Pilot fans and I am sure for the players as well. Seattle was obviously worn down some from their morning game with PSU, which they lost 1-0.
The biggest surprise of the Spring for me so far has been the play of Sara Bindl or 'Bin' as her teammates call her. She has shown skills on defense that were not evident in her limited playing time last season. I suspect we will be seeing a lot more of her this Fall.
The upcoming game with the Beavers in Corvallis will be a real test for the team with their short bench (1 field player sub available this past weekend). The usual physical style of the PAC 10 will no doubt be in evidence and I am sure the Beavs will be in better physical condition than the Huskies who were noticeably gassed by the end of their game with the Pilots this Spring.

Re: Spring Schedule 2013
The Beavs beat the Sounders Women yesterday 1-0 at Starfire.
They don't have all the NT stars like last year, but still have a pretty good cadre of players , including Canadian and American u23's and Erin Mcnulty from the CNT and Penn State.
Some video of that game: http://www.sounderswomen.com/

Re: Spring Schedule 2013
UP played its final Spring game against OSU. A-Fan and I (Among a few other Pilot faithful) went down to Corvalis and caught the match.
Result was a 2-1 win to close out the Spring season. the Beavs scored first on a good effort from Richardson. UP answered on a PK by Amanda ( Micaela taken down in the box) and a 1v1 break by Amanda that lead to a pass and finish by Micaela. More later.

Re: Spring Schedule 2013
This isn't so much about the game as it is an attempt to quantify it and a review of a stat APP.
I did a little experiment today at the game. There is a relatively new APP out that helps measure stats called Soccer Meter. Chris Henderson from AWK is using it for the NWSL matches. I used the free version, which doesn't produce as many stats, and you can't save and print them, but before I worried about that, I thought I'd see if it was something I would use and how easy it was to use. Most of the data entry involves just tapping the screen each time a team/ player gets a FIRST touch on the ball. Subsequent touches by the same player don't count, although time of possession by one team and other data is deduced by the data entry. A completed pass, for instance, is two consecutive first touches by the same team,.a pass string would be three or more passes( adjustable, but the default is 3.)
First the results.
First half:
Portland.......statistic..........Beavers
291...............first touch.......246
188...............pass count.....143
65%............pass comp %..58%
17:07...........time of poss....17:01
50%............poss. %...........50%
25................pass strings...18
6...................shots................3
Second half:
Portland.......statistic..........Beavers
267..............first touch.......209
185...............pass count......128
69%............pass comp %...61%
16:46..........time of poss....15:43
55%............poss. %...........45%
25................pass strings...19
7...................shots................4
2..................goals.................1
I had to write down the stats for each half in the free version. I know I made mistakes, sometimes hitting the wrong side of the ledger. I corrected the ones I could, but I'm not sure if that corrects pass strings or other stats.
The stats show a pretty even game, which was generally true but for some things that aren't apparent. UP had by far the majority of possession in the opponent's end, especially in the first half, which the APP doesn't track. OSU actually did a bit better in that category in the second half.
Shots are a bit arbitrary, it was harder than I thought to count what was a shot and what was a header over the end line, for example. I was conservative.
Also, it's not clear what you do with inbound plays, for instance, or for cases when both players get a touch on the ball. In those cases, I defaulted to counting the result of the next touch twice, somewhat arbitrarily. That might be a wrong way to track it. I'll try to find out what Chris does.
And this being the free version, it doesn't track whether a shot was on goal or not. The paid version allows that entry and more.
It might be as useful to only count first touches in the opponent's end of the field, since many passes on both sides were just among defenders unchallenged. I think it might be a better measure of offensive initiative. Attacking third might be even better, but, their being no lines on the pitch for that, it is another point of ambiguity.
Anyway, it was fun and not really intrusive to your viewing experience. You don't have to look at the iPad or iPhone. If anything, it makes you concentrate a bit more.
I'm going to spring for the $3.95 version and try using it different ways.

Re: Spring Schedule 2013
I am sure Geezer's wife was hoping that if he started using this app at Pilot games that he wouldn't have as much time to express his dissatisfaction with the officiating. She is going to be disappointed. He can keep stats and still find time to point out to the officials their deficiencies.
The app is fun, but not being able to distinguish between offensive and defensive touches does make the result a bit misleading. The majority of the Beavers touches were in the defensive side of the field until the last 15 minutes or so of the second half. A lot of their offense consisted of trying to get the ball to their star Jenna Richardson. The Pilot defensive backs did a great job of containing her.
DJ went down early in the second half and stayed down for several minutes, but did leave the field under her own power with a slight limp. The Beavers played their usual physical game. The Pilots responded in kind which was nice to see although a little unnerving with only 1 field sub available.
