A brief peek behind the scenes: I started covering North Texas SC for Big D Soccer last year and, having a somewhat analytical bent, decided to try to collect some stats on the team. Unfortunately, the only place that had them was the league website, which is not built to facilitate analytics.
This year, that all changes. American Soccer Analysis has added USL League One data to their online widget. There are some counting stats that I will still scrape from the league website, but now we’ve got access to advanced stats via direct export to Excel.
