Things haven't been to good for the past week or so for the GCSU women's soccer team.
Georgia College, in its last three games, is winless, with two losses and one draw.
This past Wednesday, the 'Cats fell on the road in North Carolina to conference foe UNC Pembroke 2 to 0. Despite outshooting the Braves, the Bobcats were unable to nail home a goal in the contest.
But head coach Hope Clark has not given up on the team just yet. Granted, the odds of hosting a playoff game in round one of the Peach Belt tournament are slim, that still doesn't mean the season is lost.
Now, it's time for national powerhouse Columbus State on Saturday. The Cougars are ranked no. 1o in the nation and for a good reason: power on both ends of the ball.
So, here are the keys to GCSU's success this Saturday.
1) FINISH: Georgia College has gotten great looks at the goal, but the Bobcats are slightly off on the shot location. Columbus State allows opponents just four shots on goal per game this year. Capitalizing on opportunities is crucial.
2) URGENCY: We're headed down to the end of the season with only three games remaining counting this one against Columbus. How bad do the ladies want to win in October and going into November is a question we will have to wait and answer ourselves.
3) STEP UP: Who is going to be the player(s) that play their best when it matters the most? Will it be the fantastic freshman? Sophomores? Juniors? Seniors? Whoever it is, it must come fast.
4) COMMUNICATION: This is key in all parts of the game. I'd like to see Georgia College's defense communicate better when their backs are against the wall when they're being pressured.
Other stories will take place throughout Saturdays contest in Columbus.
