Don't forget defenders Megan S. and Cassi M., they will no doubt play big roles in any Pilot success, if not as starters then as very solid players coming off the bench.

Good point. We are well protected against the inevitable injuries that may come along. I'm sure there will be a few games this season when we have a player on the bench who would be the best player on the opposing team. Kind of like Spain vs. USA. (Oops!)

Heh Heh.
I wonder what Kassi And Megan think about you guys relegating them to the bench.

I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because if the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...."

I didn't relegate them to the bench, I specifically said "if not as starters". I think it's going to be a dogfight for those starting defensive positions.

Cloee played all 90 minutes in both U-20 games the very end of June, against England and Germany, in Germany. For those interested in Courtney Verloo, she played both games too, at defender.

Not to jinx the Pilots before the season has even started but what is the record for fewest goals conceded in a season and who were the defenders on that team?
I love to watch great attacking play but I think that we all know that great teams are built on the foundation of a solid defense. And I'm looking forward to seeing if we have a back line of Tsao, Olivier, Colohan, and Reed; and just how good they can be.

Since the team plays different numbers of games in different seasons, I think the best measure is goals per game. The least goals in a total season was 8 in 1997, for 19 games. But the 2005 team gave up only 9 goals over 25 games. 2005 had the best goals per game average of 0.36 GPG, so I think that's the record. To beat that record for the regular season, it would mean giving up 6 or less goals over 19 games.
