    Per Top Drawer Soccer, Oregon only has 4 WSOC commits in the 2025 graduating class. None are goalies.
    The 2 goalies on their currently published 2025 roster are nowhere near what Joyner had with Goldstein here at UCD the last 3 seasons (1.06 goals against avg.). The RS senior has a career 1.82 goals against average and the RS junior has a career 2.52 goals against. It looks like Kiesling could not only be the future, but will have a decent chance to play immediately.

    Joyner brought Chris King to Davis, and, I think, had worked with him when both were assistant coaches.
    It's frustrating to have a departing coach take players and assistants with them when they leave. On the other hand I understand wanting to have "your people" with you when you take on a new head position. You know what to expect from them.
    And as an assistant, you have no guarantee that the incoming coach will keep you on. Gotta put food on the table and keep a roof over your head.

    Top Assistant Coach Chris King has also followed Joyner to Eugene.

    So far (through 12/9), Women's Soccer has lost 2 players to Oregon, following Tracy Joyner: GK Gia Kiesling and F Abella Hunter, both freshmen. Hunter played in all 20 matches, with 2 starts. Her playing time increased as the season went on, and she was named to the BW All-Freshman Team. Hunter tied Emma Vane (graduating senior) for 3rd leading scorer, so that hurts. Especially since #2 scorer, Sam Tristan (BW Offensive Player of the Year), is also graduating. Lots of offense to replace in 2025.

    Kiesling didn't get on the pitch, since Caeley Goldstein was a returning starter. It's possible that Goldstein will have another year since she didn't play much at Washington before transferring. If not, UCD women will have big shoes to fill in goal as well. Goldstein was consistent among the top goalies in the Big West in all categories.

    I don't know if there are others in the portal but currently without a destination.

    Sabel was definitely a great addition. Jen Gross seems to look for players who fit in and will buy in to the established culture. Year 1 is usually a learning year; Tova often came off the bench her 1st year.
    Vic Baker is another example of someone who has grown into a solid pice of the puzzle...and she is fun to watch. Still gets a little out of control at times, but we like how much she cares.
    It would be nice to see Ally Fitzgerald stay healthy long enough to get consistent minutes. She seems to have a sweet shooting touch.

    More of the same v. Idaho on Wednesday. 9 of 14 rostered players are transfers, including 4 of 5 starters.

    Most eateries downtown are student-oriented. I get it, but it’s frustrating to have to go out of town to find a place with a different vibe. Winters has a better restaurant selection than downtown Davis, at least for us.

    ASU only had 10 dressed players. Their play reminded me of neighborhood playground hoops - people are used to everyone else’s game, and they play WITH each other, but don’t really play TOGETHER.
