Deja Vu All Over Again

In case you missed it, we lost another close one at home yesterday. William & Mary came to town and slipped away with a 3-1 victory. We had a couple of defensive lapses and couldn't take advantage of several chances.

The Tribe played in a tight defensive shell and waited for counter attack opportunities. They got one in early on for a 1-0 lead. We came back within two minutes and got an equalizer as Lauren Hair fed Hanna Terry, who rifled it home from 20 yards out. We fell behind again just 10 minutes later. And we chased the game for the next 65 minutes (just so you know, that can be really tiring!).

We had several close calls, including two balls that were saved off the line by defenders. As we pushed for the tying goal late in the second half, William & Mary scored a third on the counter attack...it was not to be on the day.

So, we've had two tough results at home. It's important for our team to stay confident and positive. The past two games have taught us some good lessons and things to work on:

How to play "catch up"
How to come back from mistakes
How to play against teams that are in a defensive mode and asking us to carry the game
Being more precise around the goal

and others...

We'll be back at Ute Field on Wednesday, September 9 at 7:30 PM to face the Princeton Tigers from the Ivy League. Princeton is a traditional power in women's soccer and we expect another tight battle.

Come and join us. It's a Crimson Night...and the athletes from all the other sports here at the U. will be there to cheer us on.
