Looks like this will be another long season, 0-3 so far and have yet to score a goal in their 3 matches They do play against Eastern Washington today in a home match.

Ever any thought to just cut the program?

Unlikely due to title IX requirements. Also, it's pretty inexpensive to have a women's team if you already have facilities you are keeping up for a men's team (or vice versa). I could maybe see them dropping women's soccer for a different women's sport that is fairly inexpensive. Example: women's flag football has been taking off at many schools, and as long as you already have a football field and small stadium, wouldn't cost much.
