We dominated play in this one based on the stats. Shots were 22-3 and corners were 9-0, but we didnt score until the last 8 minutes when Marlee Taylor scored twice.
Still a 2-0 season opener works for me. Get off to a good start and get a shutout. Kent State is next and will be a much stiffer test -- a test we need to pass. Gotta win the winnable games.
Once again no Itala Gemelli. She did not play preseason and Im fearful we're dealing with a lengthy injury or something. We absolutely need her to get to where we need to go.
In other news,
Saint Louis lost 1-0 at home
Xavier in their opener. XU actually had the much better stats as well. The Bills got a great crowd for the game but I dont think they were expecting to get beat. Worth keeping an eye on.
