Let's see how much improvement this team shows...if not much, Ziggy may have to look at a change in leadership. I wasn't too impressed with our ball control strategy last year.

A 2-9-5 record last year. Two wins and nine losses and only one conference win is not going to get it done. Agree that they need to see significant improvement or consider going a different direction if our goal is to be competitive and compete for conference championships.
They were competitive in 2021 with a 7-5-7 record. They have an influx of talent from Memorial down the street (two freshmen and a junior) - will be interesting to see how they develop and whether they can move the needle.

This is likely a telling year to see if we can get back on track with the women’s soccer team. If not, Ziggy may have to make some tough decisions.

The women fell to IU yesterday 1-0. It was obvious that IU was the bigger/stronger team and was constantly having the ball on their offensive side. They outshot us 20-4 and 6-1 on goal. We showed a lot of resilience and toughness to keep this a one goal game. We even had a couple rare opportunities - with a lucky break here or there - where we could’ve tied the game. Our goalkeeper was phenomenal.
It looks like scoring goals is going to be an issue for us but our defense and goalkeeping seems to be very strong and should keep us in games to give us a chance.

The women’s soccer team is 0-3-6. They have only scored two goals all year (those two goals have been in their last three games though). On the bright side they have only allowed eight goals all year. It’s pretty obvious that they need some offense to start getting some W’s (and hopefully the defense stays solid).

So Evansville’s women’s soccer team finishes 1-6-9 and qualifies for the MVC tournament. I’m curious what other peoples thoughts are on whether this is good enough for the current coach to keep his job. We were talking one win and nine ties this year after going 2-9-5 in the previous season.
Of course, we could still pull a miracle out in the MVC tournament. But barring that is this good enough for the coach to retain his job? Ziggy has previous said (I believe) that he wants each team to be competing for conference championships in each sport.

I am not a great evaluator of soccer talent, but it appears we need some offense. Our defense is ok, but that can be attributed to our lack of pressure our offense puts on the other team. I believe we scored 9 goals all season.
Our coach had 10 wins per season in his original stint with us 2005-07, then with Akron(2008-12) was moderately successful, but has not done much since (at Houston and Valpo.)
I am guessing they at least give him another year to see if he shows a knack for recruiting some quality players.

Women's soccer season ends today with a 1-0 loss to Murray State in the MVC tournament. Murray scored their goal only 38 seconds into the match. Ugh!

If you are going to win 3 games in 2 seasons, you better get along people, be a great representative of the school, and a dynamic recruiter.
