Not looking for an argument but only offering an alternative opinion.
what we saw was an issue that every team is facing playing NU. They , to me, have a newer very fast surface that everyone, but them, has problems adapting to. Again , to me, those missed passes are under hit balls that is caused by fear of hitting or harder and have it run off.
So this year in six home games , prior to us, there have been zero goals scored at home against them. And no they are not facing cram puffs. They have at home beaten number 6 Stanford and 19 Xavier.
again , to me , we are a much different team , on grass, at Yurcak. And , yes, this is a seriously good team , in all aspects, that except for that indefensible error caused header we held scoreless
I have no evidence but I think our ladies are playing exceptionally tight rather than enjoying the game. And yes several are trying to do it all by themselves.
and no I don’t know what do do about Kassidy. All those grad transfer center mids are flawed and the trust is not there to play them. So it’s Kass or Adriana ( who doesn’t offer the athleticism ) and we simply will need to live with that. And rest assured our opponents will attacking that left side repeatedly …..especially on counters
anyway that’s my opinion and we have played three ranked teams now the picture should be clear of who and what we are
