What to watch
Football
Watch whether possession-ending mistakes and stalled drives change the game more than total yardage. A close previous result is context, not a prediction of another close finish.
Women's Volleyball
Watch serve reception and the ability to end the opponent’s scoring runs. Friday and Saturday are separate matches; the second preview baseline will need refreshing after Friday’s result.
Men's Soccer
Watch the quality and timing of chances rather than treating every shot as equally dangerous. A recent high-scoring result does not establish that the next opponent will permit the same opportunities.
Women's Soccer
Watch how the team responds to the opening goal and whether it creates repeatable chances. Conference and nonconference records describe different schedules and should be read separately.
