While football has been king on campus since the fall semester began, the women’s soccer team has been quietly going about their season since early August. With three games left, the Cougars are 5-8-1 overall and last place in the American Athletic Conference with a record of 1-5-0.
The team has three last games to break its five-game losing streak and improve its record enough to make the AAC playoffs.
Newly-installed head coach Diego Bocanegra hoped to make a splash as he began his inaugural season in charge of the Cougars. After three years as an assistant at Notre Dame, Bocanegra said he was looking to shake off the complacency he saw in the team and install a new spirit.
