I did not get to see the PSU game; but I saw most of this one.
We were outplayed. It ended up a tie only because of great goal-keeping and the officials keeping their whistles in their pockets for penalties in the box.
I am not sure what the issue was, but we looked tired and slow. Perhaps it was so many over-time games having an effect on the team. Maybe it was the fact that OSU has never beaten us, so we came in a little uninspired. Maybe it was a let-down after PSU.
Tiernan will be a big loss. She is relentless out there and loves contact. I really enjoyed the announcers comments about NJ girls having a reputation for playing physical.
I wonder where OSU gets their players. I don't think I have seen another team with so many big, solid girls - and most of them could move. We have lots of freshmen who are slim, so I am thinking it is harder for them too adapt to our physical style.
Does anyone know if freshman"hit the wall" like they do in some other sports? I think it will be difficult to do well in the tournaments with so many freshman, but I am still hopeful.
