Bad news is falling behind by three goals and giving up 3 goals on six total shot on goal. Wont win any games getting down 3-0. Good news is we didnt roll over and fought back to 3-2 with 18 minutes to play. We also out-shot Illinois which tells me the match was pretty competitive -- we just didnt have the defense to win. Any time you can get 2 goals on the road, you feel like the offense has done enough work to give you a chance to win.
Take the PKs out of it and its a 2-1 game. We also got another goal in the run of play from a frosh -- assisted by a frosh. Golz is playing 7-8-9 frosh a game. We are young but should get better. Last year I think this ends up a 3-0 loss and we dont win the stat sheet (we probably get clobbered by the stats). I see progress even in defeat.
