Mad dash for d1 #10

Next three weeks should be fun. 10-17 all have a shot at d1. Who will it be? My guess Fever.

I think Fever and FCD Red both have the same relative strength of remaining schedule and either of them could take that last spot.

Rush has a tough one to try to pull off against Cosmos, then their last game is against Fever.

It's between Red and Fever. Given the differential between 9 &10, if I'm any of these three teams I'm wanting to be tops in D2, not very bottom of D1.

Going back to the "Head-scratchers" thread - it's so hard to figure it out because it doesn't seem like any team outside of the top 6 tends to win 2 or 3 games in a row very often.

I like that Fever seems to control their own destiny with games against Andro and LP Rush - two teams in the battle for 10th.

At the same time, I keep waiting for FC Dallas Red to take advantage of what seemed like an easier spring schedule.  Now that I am ready to give up on them they will probably beat Texans next week.

LP Rush - can't figure them out.  I would almost pick them because it seems hard to believe that after so much success leading into select that LP would only have 1 team in D1 for U12 (not that having 3 in D2 is anything to be ashamed of).  They also play 2 teams in the battle for tenth - Fever and Ft Worth FC.

I think the teams with 14 pts and below are out.  Just too hard for those teams to win 3 in a row to end the season.

Since I have no good prediction I'll go with this: LP Rush v Fever at 8:00am on the last Saturday of the season for the last D1 place. Good luck to all the girls!

Agree, I think you will have better chance to strengthen the team top of D2 and pick up a few new pieces next year than getting pummeled each week at bottom of D1.
