Game notes are up- Texas State Next

nortx9 · August 25, 2006

Game notes are up, good stats and history for those new to the program. How many fellow alums and supporters will make it to San Marcos for the season opening match with Texas State. The Volleyball team is at Texas State this weekend too, hope those supporters can be there for the soccer team, and I am going to try to make it early enough to see the v-ball team!

What are your thoughts on this year's team?

Struggling a bit with consistency on both ends of field. Fighting through a few injuries, some new offensive and defensive personnel changes, and two new coaches on staff. We'll get there. I think our fitness is in question right now, and due to the excessive game heat and heavy training schedule, we are going flat and tired mid game. Looked much stronger at end of game against Tex St and controlled the run of play for the last 4-5 minutes when game was still in question. We have had ample scoring chances so far in the games we have played, just not finishing them off. Could have beaten Tex St by another 3-4 goals easy. That being said, we also could have been tied. Same for OU and Alumni games. Missed many high percentage chances that could have us sitting with 2 preseason wins to go along with the season opener. This week will begin a solid non-conf test with Houston and SMU. We will see about our progress in all of the above against two pretty good teams. I think all and all, we will be ready to roll come conference play and we should have strong offense and solid defense well tuned by then. Non-Conf is tough and should be way more competitive than what we will see in general for conf play. I look for non-conf record to be average at best, could also be real good, but the level of competition should prepare us for excellence in conference play. I like the player additions, some good talent there, and getting immediate contributions.

Everyone out for Houston on Thurs and SMU on Sunday!!!!
