It was another tough loss for the green team as we worked to weather a very physical St. Charles Storm. Despite being on the losing end of the scoreboard, our effort had its merits. Our team defense was great today, forcing several bad passes and leading to several steals, and several counterattack opportunities. Once again we were creating good scoring opportunities but our execution was a little off today. Physical mistakes like these sometimes just happen and the important thing is that we're having success creating opportunities.
Our offensive effort was improved as well, as two-meters Evan Stelmachowicz and Richie Mayer both continued to attack the goal and were much more vocal as leaders this time around. We still need to be quicker to release on the perimeter in order to help players under pressure. We also crowded the middle at times, which hurt our execution and made it harder to run an offensive sequence. Storm's go-ahead goals all came as a result of counterattacks off of turnovers, so a little more ball control will go a long way.
Here's to hoping that the weather will be kind and we will be able to hold practice next week so that we can tighten up our game.
