rip2506 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 What a game... go to SFA soccer for an accurate play by play account.What I remember is we were up 2-0 after twenty plus minutes.. With both goals coming around the 22nd or 23rd minute not sixty seconds apart. We were dominating possession and shots.. TCU did not appear to have the speed required to get behind our defense. That's when a parent said.. those dreadful words... " I do not know why, but I heard 2-0 is the most dangerous score in soccer".. Well I had heard that too and I tried to give my best explanation why.. short answer.....complacency! We have got this over confidence! And sure enough in the second half we appeared to lose that dominating form that had gotten us to that point.. then they struck and got their first goal on a set play.. Momentum beginning to swing and they appear to begin penetrating our defense at a level that is making me very uncomfortable.Then came the call.. a handball in our box that set them up for a tying penalty kick.DENIED!!!!!!! The crowd goes wild....We get our 3rd goal and they get their second with 9 minutes left..Time expires and SFA 3 TCU 2This was a first in school history on seven tries that SFA has beaten TCU.. although it did not feel this way after the first half.. SFA put on a dominating performance.. Team Captain Kylie Louw is a BEAST... she can go to goal at will and then turn on a dime and defend all the way back to our goal.. Best player my daughter has ever played with (member of the South African National Team) The future looks bright for the Lady Jacks!Zuri started both halves and played very well.. DoctorDave called and said he watched her live on the computer and said she looked like she was playing well.Next game is at home Friday Sept 23rd against Jackson State.
