NorthWood - Goshen 0-4 (0-2)

Goshen scores in 2nd minute and again in 38". In between decent soccer from the Panthers. Again a slow start in second act (42"), kills all plans for a comeback and to add insult to injury, a 4th goal goes in in the 44th. Defensively we play fairly organized but individually some lazy and slow marking cost us the game. A very good Goshen keeper and the buzzer prevent efforts from Dom (2x) and Michael whose shot makes it into the goal but a fraction of a second after time expires at the end of the half. Nothing to complain about, just time for some reorganization to get ready for Sectionals. We just need to execute much better defensively and offensively. If you can do it in practice, we should be able to do it during the game. Today's practice from 3:30-5:15. GK training starts at 3:15. JV puts in a great grinding defensive effort and gets a 0-0 draw against a very skilled but slow operating Goshen JV. Trace stops a Goshen PK as well. Dugout was clean and all balls are accounted for so no planks on the menu today.
