The Nebraska women’s soccer team welcomed the #9 Northwestern Wildcats to Barbara Hibner Field Thursday night and opened the scoring in sensational style. Midfielder Reagan Raabe took just 40 seconds to give the Huskers the lead with an audacious, opportunistic chip.

Soccer in New Zealand is physical, competitive and for me it was an important part of my everyday life back home.
Due to the country being small, New Zealand doesn’t have its own professional league. There is only one professional men’s soccer club in the country. Unlike Europe or other parts of the world, this makes the pathway to a professional contract unorthodox and the lack of systems in place mean that you must pave your own way.
The high school soccer season is in full swing right now for the majority of boys' soccer players in the U.S. As a high school goalkeeper coach, the fall is my favorite time of the year as I get to train the next generation of great shot-stoppers at my alma mater.
Preseason training is in the past, school is in session and the new season is now in full swing.
When you think about what you want to accomplish over the coming months, there's a lot that's out of your control — things that are dependent on your coach, the opponent, etc. — but you can give yourself the best possible chance of success by maintaining a routine that keeps you prepared, elevates your performance and ultimately reduces your risk of injury.
Here's a game-winning goal unlike any you've ever seen before.
On Sunday, the University of Arizona welcomed UC Davis to Murphey Field in Tucson for a non-conference meeting between the 2-2-2 Wildcats and the 3-3-2 Aggies.
That game's lone goal was scored by Arizona freshman midfielder Sami Baytosh (her second of the season) in the 37th minute, as somehow, someway she managed to lob the goalkeeper from 15 yards out ... while sitting on the ground.
Heading into this week, UCLA held the No. 3 ranking in NCAA Division I Women's Soccer but faced a daunting East Coast trip to play No. 2 Duke on Thursday and No. 1 North Carolina on Sunday afternoon. Well, get ready for a new No. 1 across the land because UCLA won both of them.
On Thursday, it was junior forward Reilyn Turner who earned a penalty for UCLA's first and then scored the all-important second in her team's 2-1 victory at the Blue Devils.
The NCAA soccer season began Thursday night and Stony Brook gave us our first mind-blowing moment. Two players making their collegiate debuts scored two minutes and four seconds apart to propel the Seawolves to a wild 2-1 victory, the latter Stony Brook women’s soccer goal making SportsCenter’s vaunted Top 10 at No. 2.
It all started in the 88th minute when freshman Hannah Maracina was taken down in the box and fellow freshman Linn Beck converted the ensuing penalty kick to tie the game at 1-1.
The annual United Soccer Coaches preseason polls were released Tuesday with the defending champions taking the top spots in both the NCAA Division I men's and women's rankings.
Summer vacation is over. If you've been avoiding the heat by staying inside and relaxing on the couch in front of the TV with a selection of your favorite processed foods, the idea of whipping yourself into shape for the fall can certainly feel daunting.
But whatever your soccer goals, fitness ambitions or workout plans are, your best intentions can be sabotaged by failing to recognize the importance of nutrition, hydration and recovery in your daily training regimen.
Across the United States, trans inclusion in sports has been a major topic of discussion. As of May 2022, 18 states had either enacted laws or issued rules limiting or outright banning transgender athletes from participating in youth sports such as soccer. Even if you hate her politics, you might actually agree with how Megan Rapinoe feels about transgender athletes.
