A look at ACC women's soccer going into the final week

Alright it's the final week of the regular season for ACC women's soccer. I know this may not interest everybody but if you pay attention and keep track of it all it can be very exciting. I thought I would let you know what could possibly happen to the UM women's team after the conclusion of all the games on Sunday. Going into the final week here are the standings in the ACC:

1) North Carolina with 24pts. after 9 games
2) Virginia with 18 pts. after 9 games
3) Florida State with 17 pts. after 9 games
4) Miami with 14 pts. after 8 games
5) Wake Forest with 14 pts. after 8 games
6) Boston College with 11 pts. after 8 games
7) Duke with 10 pts. after 8 games
8) Virginia Tech with 8 pts. after 9 games
9) Clemson with 8 pts. after 8 games
10) NC State with 1 pt. after 8 games
11) Maryland with 1 pt. after 8 games

Ok so there that is. There are a total of 10 matches in the ACC conference season so that is the basis for everything. 8 teams make the ACC tournament and NC State and Maryland are out of the race. Miami is a lock to get in unless they lose both matches and Clemson wins both against Duke and FSU. The highest seed they can get is 2nd with a pair of wins and a lot of losses by the top teams which isn't a complete impossibility with FSU facing Clemson who needs to win and Virginia facing North Carolina who's only loss is to the Hurricanes. That leaves the 'Canes with the task of defeating Duke and Wake Forest. It is a close race except for the top seed which North Carolina has locked up.

Hopefully that isn't to confusing. Everything will be settled on Sunday but I will also provide an update after tonight's games which will be kicking off in about 4 minutes.

GO CANES!!!!!!
