Vandebilt is the new #1 one in Div II poll and St. Thomas More will more than likely take over the # 1 spot in the Div I poll this week. Vandy is playing some great ball with STM playing their way to the top of the Div I poll in their first year of Div I ball. Should be a great game. 12:00 start in Houma today at Vandy.

FYI Vandebilt will be without a few starters today including jr. winger Lindsey Warren who has a possible torn meniscus, and possibly sr. defender Whitney Dubios. Kandice Alexander is also questionable with strained thigh muscle. I know all Vandy players would love to play, and those that do will give it their all; some may play hurt.  |

St. Thomas More 4
Vandebilt 1
Score very mis-leading of this game. Vandy scored very early (probably in the 3 or 4 minute range) and kept the game very even throughout the first half. STM scored before halftime with a lazer from just outside the 18. 1-1 at the half and I would say a very even match. Vandy was playing without a couple of starters and the replacements played great. No excuses from anyone about missing players. STM may have been missing players too since they had a very small group on the bench.
The second half started pretty even and was a ditto of the first half for a good while. STM scored off of a long throw in that bounced around the box and eventually was put in for a score. This was probably the turning point of the game since the throw in should have been called back. I did see the girl step way over the sideline on the throw in with the ref standing right by her. None the less the call was not made and STM took a 2-1 lead. Their next score came on a similar ball in the box in which there must have been 10 or 12 players piled up in front of the goal going for the ball. At one point the goalie was clearly on top of the ball and the next it was in the back of the net. Again I have no idea how there was never a whistle but STM went up 3-1. The final score was off of a beautiful cross and one touch score.
It was a great game to watch and I can clearly see why these teams are at the top of their respective classes. Both teams have great speed, solid touch and play with a purpose and neither were afraid to play hard when needed.
Thanks to both teams for putting on a great show. Good luck the rest of the season.
