Good Data Sources

For those with a high interest in Division I women's soccer, there are some very good data sources.  Here are the ones that are the most valuable:

NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Schedules (presented by All White Kit).  This is a great source and provides instantaneous ratings as new game results are entered into their system.  And, if you navigate around through the system, it has a whole lot more great information.  I've prepared a Manual that describes a lot of the different things the system can do, which are far more than initially appear on the surface.  (The Manual title refers to the system as the NC-Soccer system, which is the original system that Chris Henderson at AWK inherited, but the Manual applies equally to the AWK system.)

NCAA Statistics.  This is part of the NCAA's official data collection system.  The linked page (Available Teams) is a list of the teams with Division I women's soccer.  If you click on the Scoreboard tab (next to the Available Teams tab), you will go to the daily scoreboard, from which you can navigate to earlier or future dates.  On the Available Teams page, if you click on a team's name, you will go to a team page with the team's schedule, including results to date, and statistics.  On the team page, if you click on a game score, you will go to the official box score for the game.  If you navigate around using the different links next to Schedule/Results, you can find all sorts of team-related data.

NCAA RPI Archive.  Here, as the season progresses, the NCAA posts various detailed reports that underlie the RPI Rankings it posts weekly on the Division I Women's Soccer page at the NCAA.com website.  You start by using the Query function on the linked page to ask the system for the Soccer, Women's, Current reports and then designate the reports you want to see.  The reports I typically use are Nitty Gritty (data summary for each team), Team Sheets (an individual page for each team with lots of detailed information to be used by the Women's Soccer Committee in making NCAA Tournament seeding and at large selection decisions), and Team Rankings (all games) (with detailed RPI information for each team).  So far this year, the NCAA statistics staff has not published any reports in the Archive, but hopefully they'll start posting them soon.
