Soccer can be so frustrating when "score early and turtle" becomes an effective offense

My ESPN replay only showed the last 62 minutes. But in that stretch Stanford wasn’t that much better and UL didn’t turtle until the last 15 minutes. This was a last year game - give up an early goal, fight like crazy to get back on the game, move the ball some, but only generate a few good chances and flail repeatedly on the final touch. In fairness a 11 am start time eastern is embarrassing for the ACC football or not.

This team though goes where the Frosh take them, because that plus Zach is where the sparkle is on offense. When the Frosh are meh like today, the team looks like last year - good but susceptible to a decent team and its own mistakes.
