After not having a game for the last two weeks we were hoping that being awarded the #2 seed in the ECAC Tournament would give us a boost heading into Wednesday nights opening round match. I do think we were a little flat as far as emotion goes, but we played well enough and did a good job of controlling the ball.
Our possession game was good, but we failed to find that final pass that would get us into scoring positions. Alvernia did a good job of keeping their defensive shape and constantly had numbers behind the ball. They countered well and were dangerous when we gave the ball away.
Neither team did a whole lot offensively. We led in shots 9-7 and shots on goal 5-4, but neither team consistently put the keeper under pressure.
After a low shot slipped by our keeper in the first half for the 0-1 deficit I still thought we were playing well enough to come back and get the equalizer. The goal never came and after pushing numbers forward late in the second half Alvernia got in behind again on a counter attack and scored what would be the game winning goal.
Guy Nabo scored his 11th of the season with one minute remaining, but it was too little too late and the season would end with a 2-1 loss at home.
