I believe there were a few students who trained a few weeks in spring looking to make the roster but may not have been a good fit (I would have considered them walk-ons).I’m okay with a more compact roster if we can stay healthy—but are quality walk-ons a thing in women’s soccer?

Walked around the park and glanced at the field, but ended up watching for a while. The team looked good, and Gore brought positive energy. They appear to have several quick forwards and strikers who can finish, some tall, strong-looking defenders with speed and awareness, excellent pace from the back and midfield going forward, and focused goalkeepers. It was encouraging to watch. The team seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves, and they should only improve as the season progresses.Is anyone able to make it to the fields to let us know how fall practices look?
Can you tell how are they doing with their movement, passing, and ball possession?Walked around the park and glanced at the field, but ended up watching for a while.

If everyone stays healthy, this team may have a very solid chance this season IMO, despite some of the naysayers. I would be interested to hear what others who have seen them think.
