Up front we have a few freshman that will challenge the existing the corps. Our approach is to leave everything open until after our preseason tournament.

We had really good possession at midfield, but we could not get that penetrating pass to get behind (Rogers). I think they deserved to win. I felt they were really prepared and wanted the game more than we did.

[Mount St. Mary's] also had a game [Friday night], so I don't know if [fatigue] was that much of a factor. They beat us to the ball, and our touch was off. We were not first to the ball and really didn't play good soccer, though we did fight hard.

Most fields are so narrow. It makes it difficult to string five players across the midfield. Our field and Bentonville's are the only ones that are 65 yards across.

I think they deserved to win. They played better than us today. I felt they really were prepared. They wanted the game more than we did. But our kids fought hard to the end, I think we just came a little bit short.

This, without doubt, is the biggest challenge that has faced the president.
