NorPac is down to 6 schools. It looks like 2 3-team divisions, with Pacific willing to join the east division with us and Liberty. Each team plays each division school twice and no inter-division games until the conference tourney. They may make the tourney requirements such that only the top two teams from each division be in the tourney, so there is no guarantee the FH team makes it to California this year. We did not play in the tourney last year due to our last place finish. Though with three days for the tourney there would be time for all teams to play.

Though Stanford is playing Liberty so it may be their is no symmetry in the NorPac schedule this year. We play 4 NorPac games, Stanford plays 5, and UC Davis plays 6 games. Cal is playing 6 as well. Liberty plays 4 games and they are not counting the Stanford game as a NorPac game. Stanford does not note conf games on their website. Maybe everyone plays 4 games and some of the games are not conference games though they are against NorPac schools.

Kudos to Brandi for putting together a most impressive home schedule. And, of course, for that growing string of top-drawer academic award seasons earned by her players.

Having a dedicated home venue has improved scheduling. Hopefully that means an improved product. I've seen the venue a couple times when I veer off the Greenway, it's a top notch facility minus the location.

The university has spent a small fortune, counting the initial investment for a soccer pitch and then the recent investment to convert it for FH use, in order to to move the kids to the warehouse and exterior storage yard. It's a shame.
