I was at Maloney/Cagan, first time in a while. I don't know the roster very well but the team looked quite good overall. This is Stanford after all, the unofficial "G league" team for the USWNT! Everyone knows when to run and where to run. Coach substituted liberally throughout and there were barely any interruptions in flow or possession.
At least two LSJU shots hit the crossbar in the first half, and the Penn St goalie tipped at least two other rocket shots over the goal. Time of possession felt like ~ 65-35 for LSJU in the first half. Montoya subbed in part way through the first half and immediately showed great quickness and acceleration. 12 and 33 were also creating their own shots and creating chances for teammates. The defense was unchallenged in the first half, and did well in the second half when Penn St. mounted some attacks. If Penn St. is truly 8th in the country then LSJU should be no lower than 7th!
