At this point in the season, it's the second half of conference play. The good thing about our group is we're motivated, we're playing good soccer, we've been shutting teams down and, like we've been doing all season, we're creating good chances.

It's starting to get better. I thought we had some lapses in the second half. We get a little comfortable when we get a nice lead.

It's starting to get better. We still had some lapses in the second half. That's the problem with our young guys. We get a little comfortable when we have a nice little lead.

I just don't see any upside surprise in terms of a second half recovery.
