We concluded our non-conference season on Tuesday night at Waynesburg. We were disappointed in the 0-0 draw, but we did record another shut-out and were able to play every healthy player on the roster so it wasn't all bad.
Hassan Mostafa and Jackson Bicknell combined for our seventh shut-out of the season and fifth in a row.
The same struggles we've seen most of the year continue to be our achilles heel. We had plenty of possession and counter attacking chances, but we were not consistent enough with our final third passes to create good goal scoring opportunities.
The last few games we found a way to get the goal we needed to win the game and that's what a good team does, finds a way to win. We couldn't do it on Tuesday night and had to settle for the draw.
We end non-conference play with a 5-2-2 record which isn't bad, but we feel we dropped a couple of points that we shouldn't have.
CAC play picks back up this weekend as we travel to St. Mary's College on Saturday. This is another important road match with playoff implications as St. Mary's is stronger than they were last year and looks to get back in the playoff picture.
After St. Mary's we will be home for four games; Mary Washington, Christopher Newport, York, and Salisbury. We'll have a good idea of our playoff future after this home stand.
