It seems to me that when there is high and easy scoring in the girls game, it is more that the teams are mismatched. When females are even, little scoring�maybe true with males also.

At USC now, the women's team is probably better known as a defensive squad than as an offensive one�although they have fire power at the individual level, including Blakely as a threat even as a defender.

I have to maintain that the perception that SC girls don't score is a marker for the overall weakness of SC soccer when compared to the highest levels of soccer�not a lack of individual skill or a failure of training.
