I’m still upset with how the selection committee treated our Lady Vols. They won’t put a conference matchup in the first round, I’m assuming it’s because it avoids a rematch of two teams that had already met, I don’t know. Doesn’t matter now, but there was no reason Tennessee should have to play the highest ranked RPI at large team in the field and a team they already met in the regular season.

Another thing that upset me was how classless some of the Tar Heel players were at the end of the match. They were mocking the bunny dance of Shae O’Rourke. For those of you that don’t know, Shae picked up the nickname of a former Vol “Bunny Shaw”. Anyways, after the final whistle, you had emotional Tennessee players experiencing the end of a great season and an end to college careers. UNC was lucky Shae didn’t play. Celebrate and stay classy, it seemed very hurtful imo.

No matter what, this was such a fun season following this team. They were a wonderful group and have taken the Lady Vols to places it’s never been in school’s history. I’d say this has been my favorite squad in all the years I’ve been a fan.

Wish all the seniors a great future, they will be missed.

This team is going to be incredible next years. With the players coming back. The players coming back from injuries. The incoming class. They will be fun to watch.

I don't think so. But good luck.

Some great data on the D1 conferences with the most players already in the Transfer Portal and keep in mind that 28 Power 4 teams and 4 mid-majors are still playing in the #NCAA tournaments so there will be quite a few more.

Why not just do away with college sports and form minor leagues across the country. Don’t have to worry about commitment and portals.

Pretty sure it’s in the university’s best interest to have sports otherwise it would all be minor leagues like you mentioned.

I agree in the university‘s best interest but maybe not in the fans best interest. I’m old fashioned and it’s probably just me but it bothers me to see the highest bidder get the top player and a player leave because they are unhappy etc. Its all sports in college and that’s a problem but it is what it is and i will still watch UT teams and always will.

20 years of being a soccer player has come to an end, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the ways the Lord had used this sport to change my life and further his kingdom! God is good!

COMBINATION U.S. UNDER-19 AND U.S. U-18 WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM COMES TOGETHER IN WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. FOR 24-PLAYER TRAINING CAMP​

ROSTER IS A COMBINATION OF PLAYERS BORN IN 2007 (U-19S) AND 2008 (U-18S); ROSTER FEATURES ONE USL SUPER LEAGUE PLAYER, THREE COLLEGE PLAYERS AND 20 YOUTH CLUB PLAYERS
NOVEMBER 21, 2025

ATLANTA (Nov. 21, 2025) – A combined roster of U.S. Under-19 Women’s National Team players (born in 2007) and U.S. Under-18 Youth National Team players (born in 2008) will come together in West Palm Beach, Fla. for a training camp running from Nov. 25-Dec. 2. The players will have the opportunity to attend the U.S. Women’s National Team match against Italy on Dec. 1 at Chase Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
This U-18/U-19 age group is coming off a trip to Portugal during that last FIFA window in which it beat Ireland (1-0) and tied Portugal (3-3). Just seven of the players in this camp were on that European trip, but one of them is forward Audrey McKeen, who scored the lone goal in the win over the Irish and scored twice in the draw with Portugal.
With the roster consisting mostly of players born in 2008, U.S. U-18 WNT head coach Toni Pressley will lead this camp and will be assisted by U.S. U-19 WNT head coach Carrie Kveton. Of the 24 players called up for this roster, 19 were born in 2008 and five were born in 2007.
The roster features one player from the USL Super League in defender Alexa Strickler of Fort Lauderdale United FC and three college players, 6-foot-2 goalkeeper Lizzie Thornton of Wake Forest, midfielder Brooke Bunton of SMU and midfielder Adia Symmonds, who attends Mississippi State. The remainder of the roster comes from youth clubs, including one in Spain, where defender Claire Kessenger plays for CE Europa in Spain’s top amateur division for girls.
Players born on or after Jan. 1, 2006, are age-eligible for next year’s 2026 FIFA Women’s U-20 World Cup in Poland, meaning all 24 players in camp are training and playing for a shot at that tournament.
