Overall, the Bears went 7-0-1 over their final eight games and look to carry that momentum into the 2008 season. After the season, Cal's top scorer, Alex Morgan, trained with the U.S. Under-20 national team in preparation for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup Nov. 19-Dec. 7, 2008, in Chile.

In 2005, McGuire moved to Texas Tech as head coach and quickly proved his rebuilding skills again. The Red Raiders went from one-game winners in his first season to notch seven wins in 2006 - most for the program in seven years.
