Beautiful night for soccer…

Hut
Omeze
Brdaric
Noeding
Acquah
Holman
Scott
Ming
Nutonutsi
Irinimbabazi

Irinimbabazi is a true frosh. Believe this is his fist start. I think he is going to play forward as Ian tries to jump start the offense.

 
Ivan is actually playing stopper. Looks good early. We had a oenality kick 2 minutes in and Ming had it knocked away.
 
11 shots at halftime compared to 1 for New Haven. Dominating play but cannot finish.

Again.

180 mins without a single goal is brutal. 22 shots tonight and not one would go. At least this game does not matter too much. However, Saturday is a must preform game. Hope the team is ready
 
Lots of good chances.

Missed a penalty kick.

The other best chance was a header from Omeze. The cross came from the corner. Great pass. The goalie was beat and be had almost the whole goal,to,shootist. But he could not get it on net.

This team can’t buy a goal. It has been a problem for a couple of seasons but it is now a huge issue.

Maybe we need to sacrifice a chicken?

Just some general comments on the game….

Ivan was impressive today. Big kid. Guessing 6’3. Great in the air. Quick, skilled, can dribble and pass. I thought he was our best defender.

Ming is very quick and skilled with the ball. He makes things happen and many of our best scoring chances happened with him initiating down a wing. Thought he was our best player on offense.

I believe Da Costa is injured. He did not play and it appeared he was on crutches. I think he is one of our most talented players and this is a big loss. Hope he is back soon.

Holman started at one of the inferior defensive positions. Another big kid (also around 6’3), he is athletic and can pass well.

Fortier is playimg again and looked good. I think he has promise as a play making halfback.

Wigg did not play. I assume he is injured. We could use his experience. Hope he returns soon.

True frosh Cappello came in late and had 3 good scoring chances. He didn’t convert any of them but he was in the right spot at the right time, which bodes well for him in the future.

Leibold came in during the early part of the second half and did well. Gave us a spark attacking on the right wing. He knows how to play the game and our short passing game was noticeably better with him in.

Not the result we wanted. Give credit to New Haven who showed character, discipline, and resilience to keep us from scoring tonight. I believe in our group and we are getting close. We are all excited to kick off ACC play on Saturday against Stanford. We will keep grinding 🍊⚽🧡

Ivan has shocked me with how good he has been right away. I really wish Darko had been given more run. Seems to be in the right spot a lot of the time. This team has shown they can get into the right places and channels. They have to unlock the next step. I think they can, but the question is how long it will take.
