What went down in the seventh week of college soccer? The aim each week is to bring you five stories that defined the week in college soccer or help navigate the long road to the (still homeless) Womens College Cup.And sometimes to point out just how perfectly someone can strike a free kick.Big Big 12 wins for West VirginiaOK, so No. 4 West Virginia didnt quite wrap up the Big 12 during its first week of conference play. Not officially. But the annual formality that is the race appears to be right on schedule after the Mountaineers beat Baylor and No. 23 Oklahoma by matching 2-0 scores. With the possible exception of Dinamo Zagreb, the mens professional team that has won Croatias top division every year since 2005-06, few titles are as spoken for as the Big 12s. Since moving to the conference in 2012, West Virginia is 29-1-3 in conference games.The two best bets to stop the Mountaineers this season? Well, Oklahoma was 10-2-1 and ranked and Baylor was high on the list of challengers. The Sooners, who a season ago were responsible for one of those three draws, at least made the Mountaineers sweat. Both goals came in the games final minutes, courtesy of Michaela Abam and Hannah Abraham -- who played a part in all four goals the team scored on the week.Its not done and dusted. West Virginia (2-0) travels to play Kansas (3-0) this week while technically looking up at the Jayhawks in the standings. But the Big 12 has a familiar feel.Stanford gears up for season-shaping tripThe nations top-ranked team will likely play the biggest game of its regular season this coming week in Los Angeles. It just isnt clear if it will be Thursday or Sunday.While the Cardinal endured only mild stress in sweeping Washington State and Washington this past week -- standout freshman Tierna Davidson scored her second career goal in the process -- No. 9 USC and No. 11 UCLA took turns securing road wins against Oregon and Oregon State.That leaves all three teams unbeaten in the Pac-12 ahead of Stanfords visit to USC on Thursday and UCLA on Sunday. There is no angle from which the week ahead is anything but intriguing. For Stanford, its a rare road test. The Cardinal havent played on the road since beating Georgetown on Aug. 21. For UCLA, its a further test of how far the team has come since missing the NCAA tournament a year ago. The Bruins needed an 86th-minute winner from Claire Winter to beat Oregon and didnt exactly exert their will on Oregon State.For all of that, this week might reveal the most of USC. Fresh off Katie Johnsons hat trick at Oregon State on Sunday, USC is working on a nine-game winning streak since two losses to open the season. The Trojans are tied for the top spot as the Pac-12s most prolific offense and are its second-stingiest defense. This week is their chance to show championship credentials.And before folks in Berkley get upset, the other game faced by each of UCLA and USC this week is no mere undercard, with No. 17 California also unbeaten in the league and eager to make headway of its own.Wisconsin wins more than a border battleGood luck finding a team that needed a win this week more than Wisconsin, which beat No. 8 Minnesota 1-0 on Saturday. Receiving Top 25 votes when the season began, Wisconsin was a loss away from a losing record entering the game in Minneapolis and mired in RPI purgatory.For a team with a senior, Rose Lavelle, who is going to get a look from the U.S. womens national team sooner rather than later, it all shaped up as a disappointing season.But after defending exceptionally well for more than 90 minutes, not only holding Minnesota scoreless but largely limiting even its scoring chances, Wisconsin got the overtime victory. Freshman Dani Rhodes got on the end of a bouncing ball in the 18-yard box and finished from close range for the second goal of her career (the first was also a game-winner, albeit just over two minutes into her first college game in a 1-0 win against Illinois State).We may yet see Lavelle in one final NCAA tournament.Hail to the unbeaten Big Ten leadersWere not done with the Big Ten just yet. While it might make sense to turn to a showdown of ACC heavyweights, the 1-1 draw between No. 7 Virginia and No. 16 North Carolina basically continued a pattern of inconclusive results for each. In the meantime, a team that is sure to be ranked when the new NSCAA Top 25 comes out made far more use of the week that was.After a 3-2 overtime win against No. 19 Rutgers and a 3-1 win against Maryland, Michigan sits atop the Big Ten with a 5-0-0 record. It is the best conference start for the Wolverines, who dont play Penn State in the regular season and have arguably their most difficult remaining games -- Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio State -- in Ann Arbor. The star of the week was Nicky Waldeck, who scored all three goals against Rutgers, including a 79th-minute equalizer and the winner in the 104th minute.Spare a thought for Texas A&M Corpus ChristiThere are bad weeks, and then there is the week that Texas A&M Corpus Christi endured.The Islanders faced a road trip to Nicholls State and Southeastern Louisiana with an 0-10-0 record. But after a rough stretch in August that saw them outscored 19-0 in three consecutive losses, the scores had at least grown less wince-inducing of late.And when Shayla Spearman scored in the 84th minute of Fridays game at Nicholls to level the score at 1-1, well, there was light at the end of the tunnel. Or at least there was until Nicholls scored just 114 seconds into the first overtime period to claim a 2-1 win. Yet somehow, there was Texas A&M Corpus Christi tied 0-0 at the end of regulation against Southeastern Louisiana on Sunday. Rather than broken by the disappointment, the Islanders were again on the cusp of a first win, with a lot of help from keeper Jordan Wainwright.Until -- and you will have guessed by now that this was coming -- Southeastern Louisiana was awarded and then converted a penalty kick 163 seconds into the first overtime period.But if Texas A&M Corpus Christi didnt get a win, it should earn itself some fans for persistence.
