Louisiana Faces A-State In Sun Belt Soccer Semifinals

We did NOT capitalize in the first half. That is where the game was lost. With a half time lead, no need to play offense, just pack the back for 45 minutes.

One call does not make a loss, otherwise the other 89+ minutes meant nothing. Not questioning the call. The laws of the game are the laws of the game.

Winning record, made tournament, advanced in tournament. Good season, something to build on. Finishing 7th was an improvement, need to make the top half of the draw next year.

If they would have beat troy at the end of the regular season they would have finished 3rd or 4th. That’s how close the league was

But we didn’t. And the 4 ties could have easily been wins...or losses. Seventh is an improvement, nothing more, nothing less.

Yup. Not sitting home conference tournament weekend for a change.

Horrible call that cost the Cajuns the game. Her arm was against her body. Every call went against UL at the end. I just feel awful for those girls. They played their hearts out. Great year, nonetheless.

Absolutely.

They had a great shot to win that game in OT or PK (I’m assuming they go to PK since it’s an elimination tournament.)

The team has really turned into competitors and that’s a big jump from where they’ve been in the past. Great job all around.

Not sure about the hand ball calls in college but in club soccer that call would not have been made the past couple of years. That is just part of the game. I did not like the way the girls set the wall up and where the goalie was set and we paid the price on a beautifully placed ball.

Obviously we are much improved this year. The other big thing is this staff is engaged with soccer across the area. As Louisiana's player development continues to improve each year that is going to be important. We will have legitimate chances to keep some of these players. That hasn't always been the case.

We will win a championship with Lance Key as head coach.

FYI...South Al drilled stAte 5-1 for SBC championship. So...

USA 16th seed in bracket against 1 seed Florida State. Congrats and good luck.
