The University of Tampa women's soccer team maintained ball control and waited for Quachita Baptist's offense to run out of steam and it was clear by the second half that had happened.

Greg Ryan will be seen as a savvy strategist if it works. If it fails, he'll be blamed for benching goalkeeper Hope Solo - she hasn't yielded a goal in almost 300 minutes in the women's World Cup - and switching 24 hours before the match to veteran Briana Scurry for today's semifinal against Brazil. ...more
