Orange 2 Rutgers 0

No programs; no announcement of goal scorers; no announcement of cards (1 card for each team both in the second half).

I would say the score reflected the overall quality of both teams. SU controlled most of the game and had more opportunities to score. SU probably should have scored at least one more. SU needs to move faster on the break and get the ball up or out to the next player on the break.

Defense played well.

Looks like some of the new players are not yet use to the speed and physicality and the pressing D that coach wants.

To my eye: Kaloukian, Widman, and Chifamba, the Clemson transfer playing in the front of the back three, all stood out. Bawa, from UNC, has some great feet, but could find teammates faster.

Good service into the box.

Could use an additional goal scorer to play off of Kaloukian, maybe Acquah or Burko, or someone with killer speed. Not sure if there is a freshman who can step in.

Wickham did not have much to do; Hut had a number of nice saves.

Rutgers almost scored in the second on a bicycle kick off a free kick rebound and then Hut’s hands and the post but were immediately called offsides

Both goals in the second half.

Starters and subs — not all and by no means 100% certain:

Kaloukian - 
Zambrano (Daytona State)
Widman
Scott (UC Riverside)
Cutler-Dejesus
Chifamba
Rosenblatt
Threadgold (Washington)
Bawa
Wigg (?)

Wickham in goal
Hut in goal in the second half

First subs:
Rosenblatt (Elon)
Layton (SIUE)

for Cutler-Dejesus
and ________

Gradus for Bawa

Later at forward:
Acquah (Lindsey Wilson College)
Burko (Lincoln Memorial) — goal scorer

Second half sub along w/ repeat of first-half subs.

Carabin

Note: At the very end Kaloukian played some midfield, like he does for his national team.
