Another tough weekend for the CCU women. Wasn't expecting them to beat W&M (0-3) and George Mason (1-8) out of the CAA but wasn't expecting them to be totally outplayed like they were. They were outshot 27-2 and 26-2 with only 1 shot in the first half in both games. The good news is Morgan Thomas (CESA) scored her first collegiate goal. To me the issue remains a soft central midfield and os mids that are expected to be to defensive. So deep they have no chance to get forward and get in the attack. Ball gets cleared out of the back and it comes right back. They seem to be pretty athletic with okay speed, except the forwards (go figure). I can only believe since they lost so much scoring from last year the coach expects to tie 0-0. Things should get easier for them in the Big South but right now it is just bad soccer.....I mean kickball. The 6-7 young kids seem to bring a higher energy level. At least they are getting a chance to play.
