Had game 2.5 Saturday morning…we were asked to fill in at a tournament going on in Lansing…just play one game against a team from Grand Rapids. Went in looking at is a scrimmage and knew that we were missing two players. Missing them didn’t matter at all; they destroyed us 8 or 9 to zero. Again, we held our own for the first half, but, when the wheels come off, our team does not react well.
The downside of taking this extra game was that we would be a little winded for our real game that afternoon (first game was 11..second game starts at 2). Lost that game 2-0 to St. John’s; again, scoreless at the half and thought we had the better of the play for those 25 minutes. All of the boys were very tired during the second half; we were subbing as much and as frequently as we could but it probably wasn’t enough.
The three straight games without a goal is troublesome….boys are in position but choke up near the goal and get some pansy shots straight at the goalie….we’re going to be working on finishing this week. Don’t have another game until next Tuesday, but, then, we have five in five days (including a tournament Mother’s Day weekend).
