They played well in the first half… the starting unit in today’s game was without a doubt the strongest starting lineup we’ve seen all year. Loved Singelmann playing Left D— he saved a couple of goals from going in in that first half, and played solid throughout the entire game. I was impressed with how poised he was with the ball for a freshman.

The issue, at least for me, is that they don’t know how to play a full 90 minutes of soccer. They did awesome in the first half, then in that second half they came out very passive and didn’t want to pressure the ball at all. The same issue happened in the last game against Yale. They came out very passive, lots of ball watching and let Yale dictate how they wanted to play. If they want to get into post season play they need to do a better job at winning these non conference matches and not just being happy coming out with a draw.. especially when its a home game and they could have easily won both matches this weekend if only they played harder. Play a full 90 mins and then you don’t have to exhaust yourselves by taking the match into 2OT’s.

Also, McIntyre’s subbing decisions are very questionable to me. Goldhar, Raposo, and Ferrin are like a package deal. They compliment each other very well and need to be in the game together if we are going to start winning some games this year.

Not sure why Ricks didn’t play today. Hopefully everything is okay with him and Fulcar and their injuries are nothing too serious. After Fulcar went out, his absence truly showed.
