The NCAA has moved three college soccer events out of North Carolina because of a discriminatory law legislating who can and cannot go into certain bathrooms.
These are the events the NCAA moved from North Carolina:
2016 Division I Women’s Soccer Championship, College Cup (Cary), Dec. 2 and 4.
2016 Division III Men’s and Women’s Soccer Championships (Greensboro), Dec. 2 and 3.
The University of Massachusetts at Lowell is on my s*** list for a promotion they're running for their game against Brown this evening.
Harambe night. Please kill me.
Tomorrow is Harambe Night at @RiverHawkMSOC! Have a gorilla suit? Wear it to the game for a chance to win prizes! pic.twitter.com/yzGNmQSzHB
UCLA sent a message to the nation on Monday. The message was a terrifying one, something like opening up your mailbox and finding a ransom note covered in spiders. Don’t mess with the Bruins.
They destroyed the nation’s top ranked NCAA team, the Akron Zips, 6-1 at Drake Stadium in Los Angeles. With UCLA enjoying a 2-0 in the game’s 52nd minute, it was now or never with regards to Akron mounting a comeback.
For the preseason opponents of the University of Missouri-St. Louis Tritons, this isn’t what you’d refer to as a dream start. 4.49 seconds into the match, they find themselves down 1-0 to UMSL thanks to this wonder goal from Triton midfielder/forward Kayla Delgado.
The opposition goalkeeper stands atop her 18-yard box as the referee blows for kick-off, presumably extremely excited to get under way in the brilliant Missouri sunshine.
Liverpool spent the last few days training in Palo Alto, California, as part of their USA tour, and during that time Liverpool's training staff found time to take on that of Stanford University in a friendly.
What happened next will shock and outrage you.
SoccerGrlProbs have released a new video through their YouTube channel that perfectly captures the everyday struggles of being a soccer player by using snippets of pop songs. Beyonce, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber and many others have their music repurposed in innovative and hilarious ways to illustrate the laborious effort that anyone whose ever played the game will instantly recognize.
Normally, Fox Soccer commentator Alexi Lalas is not our cup of tea. In fairness to him, most American soccer pundits/commentators are not our cup of tea.
When it comes to America's ongoing debate about whether college soccer is good and cool or dumb and bad, we agree with Lalas. Here he is on Twitter:
We need to stop apologizing for valuing college education within the context of developing U.S. soccer talent.
With just under 20 minutes left to play in the 2015 Women’s College Cup, Mallory Weber received the ball on the sideline and heard a very familiar sound.
“I heard Rocky screaming in the middle,” Weber said after the game. “And when Rocky wants the ball, you try and find a way to do it.”
