Senior Salute (update thru 9/2): BYU owns nation's 6th-most wins from '07-'10

CollegeSoccer360.com's exclusive tracking of the winningest senior classes/4-year records in Division I women's soccer has been updated, through games played as of Sept. 2. The top-5 programs remains the same – North Carolina (70-8-5), Notre Dame (68-10-3), UCLA (65-7-5), Stanford (64-6-8) and Portland (63-8-0) – but the Pilots seniors now own the top career winning pct. (.887; despite being 5th in total wins from '07-'10), thanks to UCLA's loss against Northwestern (the Bruins now have an .877 win pct. over the past four seasons).

BYU (57-14-4) is a program that steadily has moved up this list, currently tied for 6th with Florida State. The Cougars won 17-plus games in each of the past three seasons (17-4-2, 18-6-0, 18-4-2 from '07-'09) and are off to a 4-0-0 start in 2010.

There are five BYU players who have been members of the program in each of the past four seasons. Most notably, forward/midfielder Kassidy Shumway has played in 74 of the team's 75 games from 2007-10 while defender Nicole Gilliam likewise has been a four-year regular (59 GP). Here's a quick look at BYU's five current seniors:

KASSIDY SHUMWAY (F/M ... Bountiful, Utah)
Six-foot offensive talent who has scored key goals throughout her four seasons, as nearly 75% of her career goals at BU (17-of-23) have been gamewinners (GWGs by season: 4-6-5-2, from '07-'10) ... her 59 career points (23G-13A; 74 GP/54 starts) include 7G-2A as a freshman, 6G-4A in 2008, 7G-4A as a junior and 3G-3A this season ... has earned all-Mountain West Conference honors throughout her career (1st team in 2007 and '09; 2nd team in '08).

NICOLE GILLIAM (D ... Draper, Utah)
Four-year regular on the back line who has appeared in 59 career games at BYU, with 30 starts ... member of BYU defense that has allowed only 46 goals spanning the past four seasons (75 games) ... had 1G-2A as a freshman ... product of Alta High School program that was ranked #2 in the nation during her senior season (2006).

STACY BARTHOLOMEW (D ... Orem, Utah)
Another member of the BYU defensive corps ... missed all of the 2007 and '08 seasons due to ACL knee injuries ... returned to action in 2009 and earned starting role (24 GP/23 GS) in defense that allowed only 15 goals all season ... has appeared in all four games this season (3 GS), with an assist.

KRISTI JACKSON (F/M ... Laverne, Calif.)
Fifth-year member of the program who had redshirt season in 2006 ... has appeared in 50 career games with the Cougars (3 GP in 2010) ... scored in 2009 shutout vs. New Mexico ... received BYU athletics Female Spirit of Sport Award in 2009-10.

MEGAN RICHARDSON-FEREDAY (D ... Orem, Utah)
Another fifth-year player, after missing both the 2006 and '09 seasons due to ACL knee injuries ... her 23 career games played include appearing in 18 games during the 2008 season (3 GS) and a pair of games played so far in 2010.

Look for continuing regular updates from CS360 and some detailed analysis of these senior classes throughout the 2010 season.

NCAA Title-Game Rematch History ...

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 22:28:56 -0700

By Pete LaFleur (CS360 founder/editor ... editor@collegesoccer360.com)

When Stanford played at North Carolina a few days ago (Aug. 27), it marked the earliest rematch of the previous season's Division I women's soccer NCAA title game in the nearly three decades of D-I women's soccer play (since '82) ... Stanford gained some measure of redemption by playing UNC to a 2-2 tie, roughly nine months after dropping a hard-fought, 1-0 championship game vs. the Tar Heels to cap the 2009 season.

CollegeSoccer360 has crunched the historical numbers for such title-game rematch games, with notes following below (the bottom of this release includes a complete listing of the title games/rematches):

• There had been 10 previous rematches of title games in the ensuing regular season – and Stanford did what only three of the previous 10 teams had managed to do (avenge the title-game loss in a regular-season win/tie) ... following Stanford's 2-2 game at UNC, the defending champion now is 7-2-2 in a title-game rematch during the following regular season ... George Mason beat North Carolina in the 1985 title game, but UNC then won the rematch vs. GMU early in the 1986 regular season (4-2, at GMU; 9/21/86) ... the defending champ then won the next four regular-season rematches, before Notre Dame played to a 2-2 game vs. visiting North Carolina on Sept. 19, 1997 (at ND ... UNC had beaten ND 1-0 in 2 OT, to win the '96 NCAA title) ... Portland beat its WCC rival Santa Clara in the 2002 NCAA title game, but SCU edged the Pilots the following November (2-1; 2 OT).

_____________________________

• The 11 title-game rematches that have been played in the ensuing regular season have included only one played in August (last week's UNC-Stanford tie), plus one played in the first week of September, four others played during the third week of Sept., another in the final week of Sept., three played in mid-October and one played the first week of November:

note: the 1995 ND-UNC game is the only neutral-site rematch listed above

_____________________________

• There have been 17 seasons (out of 28) that featured a rematch of the previous season's Division I women's soccer title game ... in addition to the 11 regular-season rematches referenced above, there also have been two title-game rematches played the next season in conference tournaments (both won by the defending champ) and 11 more played in the next NCAA Tournament (defending champ has gone only 6-4-1 in those games) ... all told, the defending champions have compiled a .688 win pct. when facing the runner-up the next season (15-6-3):

Title-Game Rematches Played ...

... the next regular season: defending champion is 7-2-2

...the next season in conf. tournament: def. champ is 2-0-0

... the next season in the NCAAs: def. champ is 6-4-1

TOTAL: defending champion is 15-6-3 (.688) in title-game rematches the next season

_____________________________

• There have been 11 seasons that featured a title-game rematch in the NCAA Tournament the following season:

... round-of-16: defending champ is 0-1-1

... quarterfinals: defending champ is 0-1-0

(note: there has yet to be a title-game rematch in the title game the next season)

_____________________________

• There have been six seasons when the teams that played in the previous year's NCAA title game met multiple times the next season (including three UNC games vs. N.C State in 1989, plus a split of the rematch games in '95 between ND and UNC):

... 1986: UNC beat George Mason in regular-season and NCAAs

... 1989: UNC beat N.C. State in reg.-season, ACC final and NCAAs

... 1993: UNC beat Duke in regular season and ACC final

... 2002: Santa Clara beat Portland reg.-season and advanced vs. UP in NCAAs (tie/Pks)

... 2009: UNC beat Notre Dame in reg.-season and NCAAs

Stanford Posts Rare "Non-Loss" at UNC

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:06:08 -0700

By Pete LaFleur (CS360 founder/editor ... editor@collegesoccer360.com)

SEEEING RED – Over the past couple weeks, two teams – Texas A&M (3-0 loss; series now 1-13-0) and Stanford (2-2 tie; series now 0-8-3) – had the chance to improve on their modest all-time records vs. North Carolina, which has enjoyed sustained dominance over the past three decades (particularly at home):

• The Cardinal nearly became only the 20th different team ever to beat UNC, in 29 NCAA-sanctioned seasons ... it would have been only the 30th all-time loss for UNC in those 29 seasons (667-29-23/.944) ... Stanford is 0-2-2 vs. UNC in the eight-year tenure of head coach Paul Ratcliffe (0-1-2 over the past three seasons).

• Stanford already was one of only 13 teams ever to post two "non-losses" (wins/ties) vs. UNC and now is one of eight teams ever to register three or more wins/ties vs. UNC (0-8-3) ... others on that list: Notre Dame 4-12-2, Santa Clara 4-14-0, Florida State 2-22-2, Duke 2-41-1, George Mason 1-14-2, North Carolina State 1-40-2 and Central Florida 0-16-3.

• UNC still has lost only eight times at home (286-8-7/.962; in 29 NCAA-sanctioned seasons, since '82) ... Stanford's 2-2 game at UNC on Aug. 27, 2010, marked only the 15th time in those 29 seasons that UNC has suffered a loss/tie at home.

• Only three teams have posted multiple "non-losses" vs. UNC at Fetzer Field (from '82-'10) ... Notre Dame has beaten UNC three times at Fetzer, Duke has two wins and a tie vs. UNC at Fetzer, and Florida State has posted two ties vs. UNC at Fetzer,

• Santa Clara (2004, rd-of-16) and Notre Dame ('07, rd-of-16) are the only teams ever to beat UNC in the NCAAs, prior to the quarterfinals.

• UNC has lost only seven times in the NCAAs (106-7-1; .934)

• Only three teams have beaten UNC in the NCAAs on its home surface, Fetzer Field (75-3-1/.956 ... Notre Dame 1-0 in 1995 semifinals; Santa Clara 1-0/OT in 2004 rd-of-16; Florida State 1-1 in 2005 quarterfinals/FSU advanced on PKs; and ND 3-2 in 2007 rd-of-16)

TOUGH TO BEAT – UNC’s all-time record (667-29-23) in 29 NCAA seasons (1982-2010) includes only 12 opponents that have totaled at least two games vs. the Tar Heels that were not losses (wins or ties) ... Notre Dame is one of those teams with two “non-losses” vs. UNC and owns one of the best win percentages from that group (.294: 4-12-2), narrowly behind Miami's .286 (2-5-0) and ahead of Santa Clara’s .211 (4-15-0) ... all other teams (besides ND, Miami and SCU) are only 19-631-21 vs. UNC (.044), with ND and SCU accounting for roughly one-fourth of the all-time wins over UNC (8-of-29) ... later in the 2010 season, ACC foes Florida State, Duke and Miami will have the chance to join ND and SCU as teams that have beaten UNC three or more times ... here’s the list of teams with at least two wins/ties vs. UNC (series records include only NCAA-sanctioned varsity games), as of Aug. 28, 2010:

Pct. – Team (record vs. UNC)
.286 – Miami (2-5-0) ... all games coached by Tricia Taliaferro

.278 – Notre Dame (4-12-2) ... coach Chris Petrucelli 2-5-2; Randy Waldrum 2-7-0

.211 – Santa Clara (4-15-0) ... all games coached by Jerry Smith

.136 – Stanford (0-8-3) ... coach Berhane Andeberhan 0-1-1; Ian Sawyers 0-3-0; Steve Swanson 0-1-0; Stephanie Erickson/Paul Sapsford 0-1-0; Paul Ratcliffe 0-2-2

.125 – Connecticut (2-14-0) ... all games coached by Len Tsantiris

.118 – George Mason (1-14-2)

.115 – Florida State (2-22-2)

.094 – Central Florida (0-13-3)

.071 – William & Mary (1-19-1)

.071 – Duke (2-32-1)

.048 – N.C. State (1-39-2)

.028 – Virginia (0-34-2)

10 other teams have one win vs. UNC: South Carolina (1-1-0), Cortland State (1-1-0), Missouri-St. Louis (1-2-0), Penn State (1-4-0), Virginia Tech (1-6-0), Florida (1-7-0), UMass (1-7-0), Texas A&M (1-13-0), Clemson (1-23-0) and Wake Forest (1-24-0)

Most wins plus ties (non-losses) vs. UNC
6 – Notre Dame (4-12-2)
4 – Santa Clara (4-14-0)
4 – Florida State (2-22-2)
3 – Duke (2-41-1), George Mason (1-14-2), N.C. St. (1-40-2), Stanford (0-8-3), UCF (0-16-3)
2 – Miami (2-5-0), UConn (2-16-0), William & Mary (1-20-1) and Virginia (0-41-2)

Teams with multiple wins vs. UNC
4 – Notre Dame and Santa Clara
2 – Connecticut, Duke, Miami and Florida State

NCAA TOURNAMENT SUCCESS – Only five teams have knocked UNC out of the NCAAs prior to the title game ... of those teams, only one has gone on to win the NCAA title (ND, in 1995):

Team that have defeated/advanced past UNC in the NCAAs (prior to the final game)
1995 – Notre Dame (semifinals) ... beat Portland in final
2002 – Santa Clara (semifinals) ... lost to Portland in final
2004 – Santa Clara (round-of-16) ... lost to Notre Dame in semifinals
2005 – Florida State (quarterfinals/PKs) ... lost to UCLA in semifinals
2007 – Notre Dame (round-of-16) ... lost to Florida State in semifinals

Notes: UNC has advanced to the quarterfinals in 26 of its first 28 NCAA seasons (25 trips to the semifinals; 23 title-game appearances and 20 NCAA titles ... lost 1985 final vs. George Mason, 0-2 ... lost '98 final vs. Florida, 0-1 ... lost '01 final vs. Santa Clara, 0-1).

Senior Salute: First Look at Top Teams Over Past Four Seasons

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:25:06 -0700

Another exclusive feature from CollegeSoccer360.com has returned for the 2010 season: the Senior Salute listing of the Division I women's soccer programs with the most combined victories spanning the past four seasons.

North Carolina (69-8-4, from 2007-10) and Notre Dame (68-10-3) remain at the top of this list, followed by the Pac-10 duo of UCLA (64-6-5) and Stanford (63-6-7), along with fellow west-coast team Portland (61-8-0). As shown below, UCLA (the only team riding three straight 20-win seasons) actually has the top win pct. over the past four seasons (.887), followed by Portland (.884) and then UNC (.877).

Senior midfielder Kylie Wright (left) has appeared in 69 of 75 games (68 starts) during her UCLA career, helping the Bruins compile the nation's best win pct. (.887; 64-6-5) during that four-year span.

Dayton (46-1-1) – coming off a 16-1-6 season – is the most noteworthy program now on this four-year list that was not on the similar listing one year ago (included 30-35 teams, for the '06-'09 timeframe).

Look for regular updates from CS360 and some detailed analysis of these senior classes throughout the 2010 season.

Here's the complete updated list of the nation's winningest senior classes (note: when referencing this list, please credit CollegeSoccer360.com with the research and – if possible – provide a link to this blog post ... click on post headline above for the direct URL).
