Smile Dayton 1 St. Louis 1 2OT

Game recap: http://www.udpride.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29765

The good news: we gave up just one goal and tied a (better) team that was 7-2. When we solve the 2-goal conundrum, we give ourselves a fighting chance. Mink's goal was terrific. A. Kiehl gives you everything she has. She's an undersized forward going up against bigger more physical defenders almost every game. But the woman will lay it out there for you. When she turns on the jets, she's dangerous. She just needs soooo much help.

The overall quality of play however remains, welp, poor. Jimmys and Joes, Janes and Jo's. We can MIT the problem all we like but it comes down to talent. I now understand the frustration of so many opposing A10 fans over the last 20 years vs Dayton -- they were just over their heads. There are too many personnel over their heads on the field for too long of stretches. Simple passing and trapping is a huge obstacle for us. Too many players play with no awareness of anything beyond a 3ft radius of their own body -- eyes down and unaware.

I don't see any quick fixes. Just need to keep grinding and continue to hope we can keep the score down. If we do that, tonight is proof that we can get some results. There are results on the schedule to be had, that's for sure. But, nothing will come easy. We will make sure of that ourselves.

You pretty much summed it up. Very frustrating to watch. Mink's goal may have been the best individual move and finish so far this season - high quality. Collie's give away that lead to the SLU goal was a killer. Johns had no chance on the shot. Johns' kicks had good distance in the first half, but became much shorter in the second half. Pestel had a solid match - especially in the second half as she anticipated well and stepped forward to pick off passes from her spot on the back line. Way too many clears out of the back into the middle of the field. That's a no-no. Too many passes with no purpose and no discernible destination.

Given the records of both teams coming in to the match, I guess we should be a bit pleased with the result. However, this was a match we could have won and let get away. Sigh.......
