Only three college players in the country were called up to the USWNT a couple of weeks ago and we have one of them. And she wasn't even the conference player of the year because Michelle Vasconcelos, also of BYU was. We are good. I'm looking forward to watching them.

They are solid on the frontline, but sometimes the transition from midfield to defensive line is slow or awkward. That is their primary weakness.
Against an offensive minded team, they have a great opportunity. A team that manages possession and defends well will be the challenge.
They should defeat UNLV and the winner of that game faces the winner of OK/SMU. BYU already dominated SMU earlier this year. If they win that game, they go up against South Carolina the number 1 seed. I don't know enough about the Gamecocks.
