I went to the game last night.  Crowd was a good one.  Hard to estimate but I am pretty sure it was over 1000.  Not bad for an unattractive opponent; this team is gaining interest locally.  Mix of students, HS soccer players, former soccer players and a lot of middle aged locals that enjoy watching college soccer played at the highest level.

SU dominated play most of the game but got a little lackadaisical in the 2nd half and Albany took advantage to tie the game.

After that, SU played a lot more intense, completely dominated play and it was just a matter of time before they took the lead again.

Lots of good players on this team, no weak links.  They play a patient, ball control game featuring short passes that eventually wore down a highly motivated Albany team that featured 3 Brazilians and a keeper from Australia.

I would think Bono is an AA candidate at keeper, with Thomas and Ekblom first team all conference candidates.  They might make some noise in the NCAA tournament.  Ian McIntyre is one of Dr Gross' best hires.  He has done a great job turning the program around, largely with talent imported from Europe and Canada.
