UConn wins 2-1.

I wasn’t that impressed with either team, but Rutgers was down their best player due to red card suspension. There is no chance though that a team of Rutgers ability makes the ACC tourney finals. Both teams though were better then UCSB.

- they lined up 352 and Rutgers struggled with the bodies in midfield from their 433. It will be key for Stanford to not get pushed back into a 451. Keep Boamah pushed forward into the MF as much as possible as well.
- UConn presses a lot and gets many of their goals off turnovers, including their first in this game. Brandt needs to be clean at CB.
- Okafor is most of the offense- 13 goals this year. She is fast, but she was pretty solid on hold up play as well. The second forward is big and sloooow.
- Johnson covered a lot of ground in midfield.
- The second UConn goal was a bloopy header on a corner. UConn isn’t that big; so I don’t expect them to be much of a threat on set pieces despite this goal.
- The back 3 looked shaky.

I forgot to mention, we had a Williams sighting last game. I don’t think she has played since the Wake or NCST games. Glad to see her back. She was rusty, but her speed is a dimension no other front 6 player has on the team.
