After turning up here before, only to find that the game had been postponed, it was second time lucky today. Well, lucky in the fact that I saw a match, but the quality was awful, especially Ecclesia College, easily the worst team I have ever seen in university football.

I had an option of leaving this one as the SCAC Championship Play Offs will be held here, but decided to do it for the actual home team. I should have left it, as this was absolute rubbish, neither side would have scored if they had played all day.

Apart from battling with rush hour traffic through the centre of Dallas, this was a nice easy double with the Paul Quinn College match played in Mesquite.

Paul Quinn College are playing their home games at Eastfield College whilst a new ‘soccer’ pitch is constructed at their own campus. This was a real bonus as Eastfield College only have a Women’s soccer team, so one that I would never have visited otherwise.

Another late kick off due to the women’s game beforehand overrunning. This was also difficult to confirm, as unusually for a university, their website has not been updated for 4 years. As for the game, every attack in the first half looked like it would produce a goal, whilst the second half looked like neither side would have any of adding to their tally.

The Texas Collegiate Soccer League is competed for by universities who don’t have ‘soccer’ as part of their official athletic programme. Hence, most games appear to be on outside facilities, rather than proper enclosed ones. From the car park, the path to today’s pitch went along the back of the very impressive pitch used by the TCU Women’s team, where F.C. Dallas played a home U.S. Open Cup match in 2015.
Baylor knew a win today would see them qualify for the end of season play off finals.

This had always been my plan, but at Wiley’s own pitch at the college. When I arrived home on Friday night and checked the very good Wiley College Facebook page, it said the game had been postponed, which was not a great surprise as their home match on Thursday had been abandoned due to heavy rain, leaving the pitch in a right state. However, something made me look at their Facebook page on Saturday morning and a posting at 9.31am said the game was back on and even had the address of the new venue. It certainly helped that the visitors had already travelled from New Mexico and certainly didn’t want a wasted trip. I expected the game to be played on an outside pitch, so was very pleased to find it was in fact at the schools American Football Stadium.

A little over an hour from Mount Pleasant saw me arrive in Longview and time to grab some food before kick off. Walking round the pitch towards the stand I also managed to bag the last team sheet at the match as they were on a table near the refreshment stand and free to pick up. As for the match, it was as comfortable as the score line suggests.
