1-1 final.

Coach, coach, coach.....when are you going to lose the rose-colored glasses thru which you view SR? Doesn't pass. Can't pass. Yet plays the entire game, game after game. Yeah, I get that she scored some goals for you, but how many would there be if someone played with/for the team, instead of for "me"? Plays too slow, too many touches. Goes for the nutmeg every time. That's minor league. And most winning coaches don't usually play their forwards 100%. What say you, Coach?

Go Mustangs!

I hope your negative attitude doesn’t rub off on your daughter or effect team dynamics as they finish up the season and head into Conference USA tournament.

Should a dad be bad mouthing another player on the team? Stay classy…….
