Not sure if this factored at all into the post scrimmage decision to have a press conference, but...

1. What a great opportunity to give more girls more exposure. there are only so many games in a season.
2. What a great opportunity to give more girls experience in public speaking (good life experience).

Looking back to last season and the exhibitions - they did post match write-ups, posted scores, and did Coach and player interviews. Doesn't seem to be anything new.

As promised earlier, here's my first 2025 NCAA DI women's soccer tournament field projection.

Damn that's brutal… 10 SEC teams projected in with another on the bubble. Only 1 non conference opponent expected to make the tournament in TCU.

In a preseason presser Coach G said many girls transferred out of the program for easier playing time, yet they all transferred to teams projected to make the tournament, with 2 of those teams projected to make the elite 8.

Carolyn Calzada is playing for Notre Dame and they're projected to win it all. I'm surprised with how high he is on TCU

Non Conference Opponents Conference Projections according to Chris Henderson

Baylor - 8th - Big 12
Lamar - 5th - Southland
Texas State - 3rd - Sun Belt
UCONN - 3rd - Big East
Denver - 5th - Summit League
Lafayette - 6th - Patriot League
Stephen F Austin - 2nd - Southland
TCU - 1st - Big 12

Based on the non conference schedule they probably are gonna have to win 6 of the first 8 games and then pick up 3 wins against more similar opponents in the SEC to have a shot of making the SEC tournament. Based on the schedule I think you're looking at around 5 maybe 6 wins for the season.
