IU UL Soccer Update

[Aaron 4,147]

IU has finally found its next Eriq Zavaleta maybe? A new Frosh named Griffin Dorsey has broken away from d one on one for 2 goals and looked very dangerous in back. Overall offense finally looks fast and maximizing every effort at back end. One guy commented in crowd near me 'long time coming' after Dorsey scored his second goal which about sums it up.

Goalie is a big question mark with Webb and Lomeli gone and new guy Caulfield fell asleep on corner for a Louisville goal. IU leads louisville 2-1 at half in exhibition match here in Indy.

IU wins 3-2. 

Second Half IU fell asleep on another corner but a few minutes later Timmy Mehl scored off a set piece on a straight kick into goal off a restart just outside the box. 

Overall our offense appears completely fixed and Dorsey very possible the answers to our prayers up front. We maximized every offensive opportunity and our D and Midfield dominated possession.

The only question mark I have is the goalie. They played a different guy in the second half and neither one wowed me. Granted the d shut most things down so neither had a lot of opportunity but both times off corners neither one paid attention. Both appeared partially on the D as the same guy was unmarked off the corner both times and slotted in a header on each one. Certainly our communication on corner kick D needs some work but we certainly didn't have a goalie who could bail us out either time.

Overall besides the two corners we looked spectacular at all times against a great team and I am very excited for the upcoming season to see what we can do.

Stoked about our team this year, particularly the incoming class.  All this without Rennicks too.
