WPS playoffs and attendance

According to the UConn Huskies website, two former Huskies, Meghan Schnur and Niki Cross will be competing in the WPS playoffs.

I also read that Men's Soccer has lead the nation in attendance for nine of the past 11 years. That's impressive. More people need to know that across the state and across the student population...you know maybe have the bandwagon effect. They go so maybe I should too.

Also, when it comes to attendance, I'd like to see more soccer/UConn fans at women's soccer games. I don't know how many people like UConn and like soccer but I have a feeling it's more than what I see at games. My cousins friend came to our lake house and he was saying how he had heard that the women's soccer team has such a tradition but that almost no students show up.

As much as I may not like St. John's, it was very impressive for them to bring a bus load of students to UConn women's soccer senior day. I also can't tell you how disapointing it was that there were only a handful of UConn students there to try and drone out the St. Johns fans. I hope that some members of goal patrol and some of the students who are women's basketball fans would pick up a women's soccer schedule and show them some support. Based on things I've heard I have a feeling that the team would appreciate it.

I also don't think that people realize how presitgious UConn Women's Soccer is. There is some tradition of success. The team's been to eight final fours, and four national championship games. Only North Carolina has made the NCAA Tournament in Women's Soccer more than UConn has. UConn Women's Soccer is one of the top handful of programs at the school. Three former UConn players are playing professionally in the WPS now. Another former player, Sara Whalen, was a part of the 1999 Women's World Cup team.
