I don’t see us winning this one Nebraska very good

To think that NEBRASKA is better than us in soccer is a SCARY thought.

[AreYouNUTS]

Brocious! 1-0 after 5!! Absolutely beautiful rocket!

 

[JoeDell27]

Great start and then let up that. Ugh. Hate to call out players but you need to save that,

 

[AreYouNUTS]

….and it’s tied 1-1 just 2 minutes later. Ugh.

 

[Leonard23]

Wow we missed 2 goals there

 

[JoeDell27]

Game is on Big Ten Network. Just missed two point blank shots.

 

[Leonard23]

Finally! Goal!

 

[JoeDell27]

There we go. Sam with the nice finish. Definitely playing better this game. Could easily be 3-0

 

[Leonard23]

I haven't seen this much O attack and pressure in a while. Great to see. Keep the pressure.

 

[JoeDell27]

No Vicari. Like watching a different team offensively.

 

[MS-RU]

That was almost a disaster. Not sure what our defense was doing, leaving two girls completely wide open but thankfully the Nebraska girl with the ball didn’t see them

Really miss Misal.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Sammi!

(Sorry a little behind lol)

 

[Leonard23]

Too many D lapses. 2-2

 

[MS-RU]

Defense is horrendous

 

[richthedentist]

How many times are we going to give the ball away we have a goal kick and kick it short and give the ball away for a goal

 

[richthedentist]

We must have at least 15 give away

 

[AreYouNUTS]

How many times are we going to give the ball away we have a goal kick and kick it short and give the ball away for a goal

That’s a serious problem. Usually happens when the goal keeper rushes to get rid of the ball. Again, trying to keep up, but not watching live, was that the case?

On Dale's second both Daigle & #22 let her muscle past them. Neither one hard on the ball. On Dale's 1st we were controlling the ball when Mason booted one of her patented long passes to the opposition & the ball ended up coming back & finding the back of our net.

She passed it short and one pass later we gave it away

 

[richthedentist]

6-0 corner kicks

 

[AreYouNUTS]

She passed it short and one pass later we gave it away

I’ll never understand passing short on a goal kick.

 

[Leonard23]

We're sleepwalking through the 2nd half.

 

[richthedentist]

It’s just hard to watch we give the ball away almost every time we try to possess the ball

 

[richthedentist]

I’ll never understand passing short on a goal kick.

I would if we were actually able to put passes together and not give the ball away every time

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Good point.

 

[richthedentist]

Utter domination in the second half by Nebraska

 

[richthedentist]

Don’t understand this lineup has Riley and Sam playing defense

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Don’t understand this lineup has Riley and Sam playing defense

REALLY?? How do you not “understand” this lol! You know the answer.

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

Don’t understand this lineup has Riley and Sam playing defense

You realize that Nebraska has scored twice as many goals as RU on the season and has the nation's leading scorer now. Maybe that we help understand most of the forwards being involved in helping the defense.

Exactly…so MON is playing for the tie. Lame.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

That being said, let’s not give up another goal in the last 10 minutes of a match. Come on ladies!

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

Exactly…so MON is playing for the tie. Lame.

Don't think he's playing for the tie, was the same in the first half.

They just aren't making smart plays this half. That last pass that Bodmer had to rescue them on is a perfect example.

 

[Leonard23]

We have been dominated in the 2nd half. This is the worst half of soccer I've seen them play. I'd be surprised if we possessed the ball for 5 mins the entire half and we have 9 mins left.

I agree we can’t get the ball past midfield we have had to have turned it over at least 20 times alone in this second half

Listen, don’t get me wrong, at this point I will take the “T!!!”

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

I'm not a fan of that strategy. I want W's and they really need them.

The one thing that we can agree on is that Bodmer is going to be an excellent keeper over the next few seasons.
