I teased videos of an app I use a while ago, but now you can check it out for yourself!

I made the app public containing the 2020 NCAA D1 Season. You can check out shot maps, pass networks, and more.

I had a chat with @MixxedZone for a little bit about my background, how I got into analysis and why/how I started @WSOCViz a couple years back. Check it out!

Next episode of @MixxedZone features an overdose of @CanadaSoccerEN talk with the @forkickspodcast hosts + a chat with the new @HoustonDash performance analyst @MichaelRPoma -- look for it tomorrow on @thebgnfm.

So, this is official now.

I'm unsure how active this page will be from now on, but those blog posts will at least stay active and may occasionally have something from time to time.

[Michael Poma @MichaelRPoma]

Very excited to be joining the Dash!

Ready to get to work and do some cool things in the analysis space.

Vanderbilt 3 - 1 Arkansas:

In the last match of the fall season, Vanderbilt takes home the SEC title with Arkansas falling in their 5th straight SEC title match.

Vandy scored 2 goals from 1.58 xG (+1 pen) while scoring 3 goals

Vanderbilt 3 - 1 Texas A&M:

Vandy created by far the better chances with 2.1 xG to 0.21 for A&M. A&M had 5 shots - all outside of the box

Arkansas 2 - 1 South Carolina:

South Carolina created slightly better chances and got the advantage in the simulation of the result, but it's Arkansas who heads to the final. Arkansas needs to find a way to stop teams from putting lots of pressure on in the final moments

Arkansas 4 - 3 Auburn:

Arkansas absolutely dominated the 1st half with 4 goals, but then let Auburn back into the match early in the 2nd while creating next to nothing for themselves in the 2nd. They held on to move onto the next round though

[Women's Soccer Visualizations @WSOCViz]

Texas A&M 1 - 0 LSU:

LSU's little run comes to an end, but it wasn't without a close fight. Expected Goal battle was fairly tight with A&M having 0.96 to LSU's 0.79. LSU held A&M to a bunch of poor long distance shots and only 3 of A&M's 17 shots were inside the box

[Women's Soccer Visualizations @WSOCViz]

Vanderbilt 4 - 2 Tennessee:

Vandy really controlling most of this match while creating 2.24 xG and 4 goals with Tennessee having 0.85 xG and 2 goals

[Women's Soccer Visualizations @WSOCViz]

UNC really struggled in the 1st to do much and were able to find more in the 2nd

[Women's Soccer Visualizations @WSOCViz]

FSU 3 - 2 UNC:

Catching up a bit - here is the ACC title match. FSU not really creating anything after they went up 3 and let UNC get back in it with 2 goal. UNC aided in the simulation by the penalty

Kentucky 5 - 6 Florida:

And then the crazy one from the SEC Friday night - Florida was the better team throughout the night, but had to fight back to win it.
