From Travis McCorkle: Q: We are back to our Custom 2-0 wins this year. What has improved in the offense from now compared to the match against Eastern? A: We had 22 shots, and the goalkeeper had to make 8 saves out of those 22 shots. With us going later and later in the season goals are gonna be harder to get. In Training, we need to develop our finishing. That game should have been done and dusted at halftime. We have three breakaways, and we just couldn't finish. We got another shutout, so that is always good. Q: With UTD coming into the conference, what are you looking for as they come into town? A: They multiple players that are really good they are gonna be a tough game. Whoever wins that game is going to be the team that will be a host for at least one game in the tournament.
