Gonzaga game
So, the big question is WHO replaces Sophie? My feeling would be to move Keelin up to AM and have Michele O play in her spot, then insert Kristen K. in the back line. You always have Cassie as an option (sub or starter). I think a lot depends on the health (injuries) on the team.
To state the obvious, we all know Sophie is OUTSTANDING and will be sorely missed. Another possibility is to start Ellen P with normal substitutions as the game progresses.

Re: Gonzaga game
Your first option was my original guess, but I think Ellen has been getting the playing time there to prepare her to play, and I think she has progressed nicely. I am guessing Ellen.

Re: Gonzaga game
I see Gonzaga has a video option for the game, but it's a paying option and they don't seem to have a single game rate. That seems rather short sighted since opposing fans might take advantage of a reasonably priced single game option. It's $9.95 for the monthly option which some might still go for I guess.

Re: Gonzaga game
Personally, I see moving Micheala back to the attacking mid an starting Dani! I'm not giving up on Dani an I still see a lot of productivity there. I also see Michaela as a natural attacking mid.
I know Ellen enrolled early an played with the team this summer but what I have seen, she is not ready, no harshness intended here, just my own perception.

How about vice versa?

An interesting thought. I wonder how she would do facing the goal more, and distributing. She distributes well now, with her back to the goal. I think she has always played forward.
I disagree about Michaela. I think she is a natural attacker. She has a nose for the goal and can take people on 1 v 1, and I don't think distribution is a strong point for her, yet, although her last assist was a thing of beauty.

Re: Gonzaga game
Here's another thought - I doubt you will see this, for many reasons, but wouldn't it be fun to see Cloee and her physical presence in the attacker mid spot?

Re: Gonzaga game
For those of you watching the game on Gonzaga's feed, are you getting audio at all?

Re: Gonzaga game
So... our freshmen are pretty good. Two goals for Capelle, one for Parker, one for Frisbie.
I sense a bright future ahead...

Watched with no audio---
Great team game. Nice win without Sophie- All 4 goals by the freshmen. Excellent assist by Sarah B to Amanda. We do have a bright future!
See you on Friday at Merlo.

Re: Gonzaga game
So does Micaela's brace mean she's selfish, or do the three freshman goalscorers mean we're still searching for that one playmaker to step up?
Sorry, couldn't resist...

Re: Gonzaga game
Not sure I understand your comment?? What/who playmaker are you referring to?

Re: Gonzaga game
Speaking of playmakers, Ellen made some really beautifully weighted passes for players running into space during this game. As well as scoring a great, bending left-footed goal.
Re: Gonzaga game
On a more serious note: Were we in a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2?

Re: Gonzaga game
From what we watched (video feed) it appeared to be a 4-4-2 with Dani and Micaela up top, Kendall and Taylor, outside mid and Keelin and Ellen in the middle.
I would love to hear from anyone who were at the game!

Re: Gonzaga game
It doesn't sound like any posters were at the game. I also would love to hear from someone who was. Ellen obviously had a few good moments, but it also appears that she had a strong overall game. That bodes well for next year.

Re: Gonzaga game
I thought about driving out last weekend but changed my mind because of the rain and the video feed available through their website. Since I paid $10 for the viewing pleasure, guess I will check out our Sunday's opponent (Pepperdine) as they play Gonzaga Friday afternoon!

Great idea. I hadn't thought of it.
By the way, now that we've subscribed to the Gonzaga network at $10 per month, do you know how to terminate your subscription without getting automatically billed on your credit card month after month?
Re: Gonzaga game
I watched the game via the CBS Sports feed via Gonzaga, as several others did. I chose to go full-screen for much of the match. Made things bigger, easier to see, but that also made the flow of the game appear a bit jerky and the details less clear (same # of pixels, but spread over larger area). It was difficult to read the numbers on the jerseys and to determine who our players were.
In that context, it appeared that:
-many of our short passes were off the mark
-many long passes or through passes were made to areas where there was no one
-we had relatively little ball control; we possessed the ball more and stole it frequently, but we didn’t string together our passes and gave the ball up frequently, many times when there was not defensive pressure
-several times the players did not move aggressively toward the ball
-at times when the ball was between two of our players neither one moved toward it, each one apparently thinking the other would get it; likely lack of communication
No one else has made comments on any of these issues, so perhaps I am overcritical or my fuzzy view of the match didn’t let me get the proper perspective.
