The Buffs should come out of this weekend with, at the very least, a split of the Arizona schools. I might be able to do some play-by-play for Sunday's match, but I'll be at work for tomorrow's.

The match has now begun. ~2 minutes in.

Buffs have moved Kahlia Hogg to the back line today.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL BUFFS!!!!

Pappalardo from Hooks (~ 4 minutes in).

 

[AztecBuff]

ASU now starting to look very good with their passing and getting into the Buff's zone. Still 1-0 Buffs ~10 minutes in.

 

[AztecBuff]

Too bad. Buffs got a beautiful free kick by the goalkeeper from around midfield right towards the goal, and Tori Cooper headed it in from ~3-5 yards, but was called for a (valid looking) goalie interference call, so no goal.

 

[AztecBuff]

Still 1-0 Buffs ~26 minutes into the 1st half. Paxton in for Bolyard. ASU looking more dangerous right now.

 

[AztecBuff]

Buffs with a near miss on the counter attack at ~28 minute mark. Paxton shot JUST deflected to the right by the goalie.

 

[AztecBuff]

ASU with a few dangerous crosses in. Buffs defense able to head them out so far. 31 minutes in.

 

[AztecBuff]

I need to leave for awhile, so won't be updating again until sometime in the 2nd half. Right now, still 1-0 Buffs- ~36 minutes into the first half.

 

[AztecBuff]

Just got back from my errand, and it 2-0 Buffs with only ~6 minutes left in the match. Just looking at the stats, was a Brie Hooks goal from Darcy Jerman.

 

[AztecBuff]

Buffs get the win! A VERY nice one against one of the teams you'd figure the Buffs will be in competition with come tournament selection time, and who are above the Buffs (40 vs. 51) in RPI.

Congrats to them! Hope they enjoy Halloween, and then are ready to go get Arizona!

I'll add my congrats to Coach Sanchez. A pretty nice number for someone who doesn't seem that old for that many wins, and who hopefully will help lead the Buffs to MANY MANY more wins in the years to come.

Great and much needed win for the Buffs and also congrats to coach Sanchez for his 300th win. Let's hope they finish the sweep of the AZ schools.
