Flyers got a goal mid-way through 2nd half on a nice cross from Sheldon to Camarco making a far-post run. First half UD had 60/40 of the run, 2nd half probably 70/30. We outshot them big time and Sheldon was the player of the game working the left flank with her speed. She put about 6-8 high quality crosses in the box but no one was home. I said last year she was hosed from being named A10 All Rookie and she's leaving no doubt now.
We struggled to link up with precision in the final third. Play of the game was from Lutz in the back. A bad giveaway 40yds out produce a 1v1 jailbreak with acres to run. Becker in goal was on an island and had few good options. She came out but was quickly beaten and there was nothing left but an open goal mouth. But Lutz kept tracking back and slide-tackled the ball away from the Marshall forward -- from the side/behind but totally legit -- just as the shot was being taken. Goal-saving moment that might have cost us a result.
We are really young out there and lack some size. Goins must be injured because she has not played yet this year. Thats a big hole to fill.
On another note,
SLU won on the road 3-1 at #7 Arkansas today
