Well, let's go back to the drawing board, shall we?
The GCSU women's soccer team lost their first conference game of the year this past Tuesday night in Dahlonega at no. 25 North Georgia. The Saints got a late goal off a corner kick with six and a hald minutes to play to put the 'Cats away. The loss for GCSU was also the first in almost a month of play.
Georgia College was outshot 9 to 3 in the second frame, evidence of not being able to control the ball for a substantial amount of time in the half. The only shot on goal by either team came from the goal scored by North Georgia! Unbelievable!
Now, it's time to regroup, refocus, and get ready for Flagler College on Senior Night 2010. Six seniors (Mary Rob Plunkett, Jessica Newland, Kelli McLane, All Treat, Jessica Binkowski, and Kayla Emerson) will all be honored during the festivities tonight at Bobcat Field. These young ladies have had a major positive impact on the soccer program, the GC athletic department, and those they come into contact with on a daily basis. Congrats to a special crew that can not be replaced!
Speaking of replacing, the Bobcats hope to replace that loss from this past Tuesday with a win against the Saints. Flagler comes in with a sub .500 record on the year, in desperate need for a win in hopes to garner one of the eight coveted spots in the Peach Belt Conference standings for a hopeful postseason berth.
The same can be said for GCSU.
With both teams anxious for a 'W,' lets look at the keys to tonight's contest:
1) MOVEMENT: Too many times did we see Georgia College stand still on both sides of the ball against North Georgia. In order to be successful, the Bobcats have to keep all players moving at all times. Passes must be crisper, and the player and ball movement has to be in sync throughout the ball game.
2) EFFORT/ENERGY: GC must play the full 90 minutes of the ball game. The effort was wonderful in the first half against North Georgia a few days ago, but the second half, it was evident that the Bobcats were starting to get fatigued. Let's hope the ladies have some pep in their step on a special night at Bobcat Field.
3) URGENCY: We are headed down the stretch run in conference play with only five games remaining. This game is important not only because it could possibly be the last home game of the year, but because you are fighting for one of the top eight spots in the standings in hopes to host a first round tournament game. I will be keeping an eye on how effective GCSU is this evening.
4) SMART: No mental lapses can occur tonight for GC. Let's play smart, controlled, organized soccer, and score when we have the opportunities!
Talk to you from Bobcat Field on Senior Night 2010! This is going to be great!
