Game Summary - Pottsgrove

Housekeeping:
You will wear your AWAY (Blue) jersey for the rest of the season.
We will be collecting all HOME jerseys at practice on Wednesday for varsity. Maybe sooner for JV depending the results from the UP incident.

Observations from the bench:
Why did they beat us 7-0?

Here are the answers, you can call them "The Coaches' top 10":
1. They played as a team.
2. They talked to each other.
3. They listened and did as each were told.
4. They supported each other. They had minimum 2 on the attack and at least 1 defensively.
5. They stepped to each ball.
6. They knew what they were going to do when they got the ball. (Okay - but most of the time).
7. They crossed the ball.
8. They wanted to win. They work at winning.
9. We held the ball when on the attack.
10. We shot the ball directly at the keeper if it did not go over.

Positives:
We have only been shutout 3 games of the 14 so far.
We need 3 pac10 goals to tie our most pac10 goals (21-2005).
We need 5 goals to break our overall goals (32-2006).
6 consecutive games that were scored. Last was 2 - multiple years.

Something to Contemplate:
There are 4 games left, two are league games.
My question to you:
Can you TIE last year's record?
At this point you cannot beat your league record from last year.
Can you beat your overall wins from last year?
You need to win 3 of the 4 to do that.
You MUST win BOTH games this week to equal last year's league record. Otherwise you will fall into the "2" win league record as they did in 2004. FYI - 2003=1, 2002=0.

L 7-0. Game grade D - Overall record: 2-12. League: 1-10.
