Okay, near heart-attack averted by Werner's goal.
To be balanced, a large part of Akron's second-half pressure was generated by them taking chances with their midfield and outside defenders pressing up, and Stanford's counter-attacking chances were brought about by the space they left in the defense. The 3v1. Baird's chance, all were against a 2 man defense.
And Werner's goal was a rocket. Normally I'd be on him a bit about shooting from that narrow of an angle, but with that much pace on it from that close, just keeping it on the frame of goal is the hard part.
Woo-hoo!
More later, have to get ready for WVB. But my goodness, Jeremy Gunn, if he isn't on some pro or national team short lists, it's a waste. Although the current style is uniquely suited to college soccer's substitution rules, this is still an incredible run. We are now on 11 complete games, including 4 full double OTs and one partial, in NCAA competition without conceding.
