It seems as though every game we have played against terrible teams is a struggle. Queens is horrible as is Holy Cross and Liberty. What gives with these guys?

They better step it up because a loss tonight combined with the Holy Cross tie will give the selection committee ample reason to drop our seeding pretty low.

Agree, coots beat them 3-0 and VT beat them 4-0. Our current score is 2-2 in the 1H.

We definitely need to find some consistency.

Of the NCAA tournament. Upsets are usually rife in the tourney so can never pencil in advancement

Nice to see us get ahead. Hopefully they come out second half and add a few insurance goals and can cruise. All nice goals by Meinhard, Musah, and Gyan. But as Horry said the problem is rooted in our defense as of late. We don't play this weekend so hopefully the guys come out and really turn it up. No more goals from Queens to start.

Does anyone know why Nathan Richmond has barely played this year? He was one of our best players last year before going out towards the end with some injury and I also believe he had some academic disciplinary issues. He briefly played against Stanford I believe and I haven't seen him since?
