Exactly. I have raised/coached my daughter through the girls soccer ranks, to Div 1. The club coaches, teams, private trainers, etc. are light years ahead of the HS ranks, in girls soccer. A local elite club, a few years back, placed 21, of 23 possible, into div 1 programs, with full schollys (Title IX--TYVM).
This is the true yardstick, and it looks like MU is breaking into a higher level, historically dominated by ND, UNC, etc.
Nice news.
Looks like the Men's side did pretty well for themselves too, lots of international talent. One of these guys is 6'7"! - Global Flavor in Freshman Class (http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-watch/players-to-watch-archives/nid-19882/Transfers-global-flavor-in-freshman-class)

Wow... 6-7 center half. He will be a huge weapon coming up from the back on set pieces.
I hope they can make a run this year. Would be a shame to have a player like Mallace never play in the postseason. Really enjoy watching him.

Add him as a walk-on to the hoops team ala Marcus West!
