Big shock in the DI NCAA WoSo Tournament as Notre Dame is bounced in the second round after Ohio State scores in the last minute of extra time.

Irish were one of the two big favorites to win the title and are now out.

Washington's Alex Buck goes over half the length of the field and 1v2 against the Arkansas defense to net the golden goal winner.

Here are the attendance numbers for DC Power in their last four home games:

551
251
510
276

I know the Rodman offer is unserious trolling, but those checks would absolutely bounce higher than the moon.

Busy day in NCAA WoSo.

Here's your time chart for today's twelve NCAA Tournament second round matches.

Note that the kick times for the second game at regional sites is approximate due to potential extra time, penalties, etc.

If you're in town for the NWSL championship match and want a glimpse of the next generation, I highly recommend heading up to Palo Alto for Friday's regional matches in the NCAA Tournament between Stanford-Alabama and UCLA-BYU. Lots of future pros on display.

Severe weather threat in the Metroplex area has caused the TCU regional to be shifted to a FRI-MON schedule.

Revised time sheet attached.

Dickey finished with the best shot stopping numbers in the NWSL despite playing behind a defense that finished TENTH in Post-Shot xG faced.

The Reign gave up an average of 1.42 PSxG a game. Kansas City gave up 0.74 PSxG per game. Literally almost half as much.
November 19, 2025 at 11:02 PM
I thought Dickey as GKOTY was as close to a slam dunk as you can get, but now I’m reading Not Dickey arguments based on things like shutouts and save % in the year 2025.

Working on updating my NWSL roster charts for the offseason/2026.

Will make the link public when all teams have released their roster decisions. Currently have Angel City, Houston, and Utah updated.
November 17, 2025 at 9:48 PM
The official NCAA bracket still hasn't totally updated with times for the next two rounds, and we're less than 72 hours from kickoff on Thursday.

Here's what I've collected so far.

Doesn't look like we're getting Sunday night soccer this year.
