The First Round

We had a disappointing performance in our first round match versus Manhattan yesterday. We ended up losing 3-0 - despite outshooting them 15 to 7 and recording 17 corner kicks to their 1. Their first goal was a breakaway that caught or defense by surprise - as MCC had a couple of very fast players up front. Their second two goals were on free kicks. We had some trouble adjusting to the level of physical play - the referee allowed far less than what usually goes on in the NAC other D3 contests. Both free kicks were on fouls that were more than questionable.

But the biggest problem is finishing. We hit the post and had several balls cleared off the line yesterday. We seem to be able to do everything but score. Please pray for the ladies to stay strong and positive - we have another match today against a quality team from Toccoa Falls.

We are enjoying out time in Florida and we are looking forward to a chance to sight-see a little bit over the next couple of days. - C
