Who missed it?Should be 2-0 as we missed a wide open look in front of the net. Skied it.
#1 WEAKNESS: OFFENSIVE-MINDED COACHING. PERIOD.This team has so many weaknesses it's hard to know where to begin. More tomorrow.
FFS. We had more SOG than NC St at halftime. We played solid. Getting better.#1 WEAKNESS: OFFENSIVE-MINDED COACHING. PERIOD.
Oh geeze here we go again. TWO GAMES IN A ROW GIVING UP A GOAL IN THE 88TH MINUTE AND YOUR'E HAPPY? Dude...STOP.Best game we played all year. Keep getting healthy and better. Turn the page and move on. Back home Monday for FDU.
Games are 90-minutes long, not 45, GET A CLUE!!!FFS. We had more SOG than NC St at halftime. We played solid. Getting better.
You really are NUTS.
Show me where I said I'm happy? You know what happens when you assume?Oh geeze here we go again. TWO GAMES IN A ROW GIVING UP A GOAL IN THE 88TH MINUTE AND YOUR'E HAPPY? Dude...STOP.
He hasn’t defended anything this coaching staff needs to take a hard look in the mirror!!WHERE IS "RUDAD" TO DEFEND THIS NONSENSE???!!!!
This was the best game we played all year. Only getting better as the team gets healthier.He hasn’t defended anything this coaching staff needs to take a hard look in the mirror!!
What are fans supposed to do when you lose to Hofstra and blow a W with two min left? The glass half-full thing doesn’t apply to sports.Its the same 5 people whining over and over again
Why doesn't it? If you actually knew how hard the players work on and off the field you'd have more perspective. This was the best game they've played all year and still not at full strength. This team will only get better.What are fans supposed to do when you lose to Hofstra and blow a W with two min left? The glass half-full thing doesn’t apply to sports.
I think you fail to understand that we BLEW THE LEAD with 2 min left. You act like we were losing 1-0 and came back to tie. If it was the latter I would agree with you. We also let up a late goal against HOFSTRA to lose the game. Are you on drugs or something? Nevertheless, I’m not suggesting they won’t finish in the top 25 and get their sh*t together. MO will get it done.Why doesn't it? If you actually knew how hard the players work on and off the field you'd have more perspective.

Both were fluky goals. The Hofstra one was a breakaway goal after a mishandle.. the goal today was wrong place wrong time.I think you fail to understand that we BLEW THE LEAD with 2 min left.

Will continue to get better.Sadly he’s right. it’s definitely the best game we played all season but we came up short in two of the three defining moments of the game.
Guys not sure what game you’re watching we didn’t have a shot on goal the last about 65 minutes of the gameThis team has so many weaknesses it's hard to know where to begin. More tomorrow.
We will be fine. Best game we played all year. I have seen this team enough over the years to know. Also confirmed my belief with others that have seen this team for many years.Guys not sure what game you’re watching we didn’t have a shot on goal the last about 65 minutes of the game
We had 0 corner kicks so tell me what game did you see Rutgers play a good game again it shouldn’t come down to letting in 1 fluky goal
As Dad says this team has many weaknesses and Sam returning is not going to cure all our problems will it help sure but not enough

The team played ok, but I am not sure know that we will be fine.We will be fine. Best game we played all year. I have seen this team enough over the years to know. Also confirmed my belief with others that have seen this team for many years.
This is all you need to say. Spot on.The team played ok, but I am not sure know that we will be fine.
We have scored 3 goals in 3 games, that is not good enough. We generated 0 corners last night. That is not good.
The team has talent. However, they have not shown me that they are good enough offensively to have a good season.
This is so unnecessary. Every team has weaknesses and strengths. Rutgers will get better as they get healthy.As I posted earlier, IMO we have multiple weaknesses.
I don't think that we have top notch talent overall. Except for Tiernan we lack speed.
Gia Vicari from Georgetown has not shown anything. She is not strong on the ball period.
Naila Schoefberger at CB, though slightly better last night, is a turnover waiting to happen. Poor, sloppy & errant passes & poor decisions.
Allie Post at center mid has not been the answer--not quick or strong on the ball. Kaylie Daigle is limited as well.
Riley Tiernan commits too many cheap fouls, sometimes resulting in set pieces in the final third.
As a team we give up the midfield. How critical is that? Latter part of 1st half & whole 2nd half we let NCS march into the final third. Don't know if that was by design or not but it puts way too much pressure on us. Bound to eventually have a break down, a set piece, a corner, or a fluke play result in a goal.
We struggle to connect on throw ins while allowing the opponent to successfully complete theirs.
We are generally poor on our set pieces. For example, last night Daigle drove a line drive right into the wall & NCS was off to the races with the rebound.
While I though our passing was a little better last night, it has generally been sloppy. We haven't moved the ball crisply or sharply.
Haven't seen anything to write home about off the bench.
Getting Sam Kroeger back should clearly help and I would stick he right in the middle to start with. Emily Mason able to play a full game will also help.
Believe so far we lack Gabby Provenzano type leadership.
Teams do improve during the course of a season, whether or not this team does will depend on the players & the coaches both getting better.
No, he hasn't, gotta give @rudad02 credit for that (at this point)!He hasn’t defended anything this coaching staff needs to take a hard look in the mirror!!
There's nothing wrong with pointing out a team's weaknesses. They're D1 collegiate athletes - some getting paid - it's okay!!!This is so unnecessary. Every team has weaknesses and strengths. Rutgers will get better as they get healthy.
Excises. I’m sure things will turn for them, but that’s not the point we’re all trying to make your colon. It’s about seeding in the NCAA tournament. These two games have screwed us in a big way. Watch.Team is inexplicably unlucky so far this year. But its actually a good team. They lost and drew the last 2 games but the ball hits a different shoelace and we win 3-0 and 2-1. By Big Ten season they will be fine
You'll find a reason to complain about anything. Always have always will.Excises. I’m sure things will turn for them, but that’s not the point we’re all trying to make your colon. It’s about seeding in the NCAA tournament. These two games have screwed us in a big way. Watch.
Oh, and it’s also about the same thing year after year: the offense not being able to put the ball in the net and the defense, while playing great for 80 minutes, caving in the final 10. Nothing new here.
Bullshit. I don’t “complain.” Maybe you should look up the definition because there’s a difference between doing that and being pissed off and/or critical.You'll find a reason to complain about anything. Always have always will.
Still haven't lost a conference game yet. Young season. A lot of time to make up for the unlucky start.Bullshit. I don’t “complain.” Maybe you should look up the definition because there’s a difference between doing that and being pissed off and/or critical.
You don’t get it, do you? We want the team do well and get seeded high in the postseason. These were both a very bad loss and a awful
tie. These two things never should’ve happened. At the worse it should have been a tie against Hofstra and a victory against North Carolina State. Having the two opposite things happen in the 88 minute of each game is completely inexcusable. What are you missing?
lol @ “unlucky” and STILL not getting it. It’s about HURTING NCAA SEEDING and “more of the same. Geeesh man!Still haven't lost a conference game yet. Young season. A lot of time to make up for the unlucky start.
