So after seeming to finally decide on a starting keeper--Zazzaa---Kirt goes back to Reisz to start this NCAA game. Sounds
like he's opting to platoon the keepers again....Clearly, Hofmann is still hurt, with something.

We need to try to counter Xavier--which seems to play a lot like Arkansas, meaning very direct, fast, gets the ball toward goal.
I didn't like the early shot Simmonds took early in the game on that breakaway. The analyst oddly said she made a good decision--but shooting from that distance is almost never a good idea unless it's a brilliant shot, which it wasn't. She should have taken the ball closer to the goal before shooting--or maybe there was a centering pass to Fusco or Lawton that could have been made--as both were close to goal when the keeper collected the ball
We're not going to win giving up 14 shots again in the 2nd half, that's for sure. I don't think we had even one corrner in the first 45. We'll have to be lots better if we want to avoid a quick exit. We're getting outplayed in the midfield. That's where our improvement must start--and try to get Fusco, Lawton and Simmonds some shots.
