Matchup
This is going to be a tough one. They have played a very difficult schedule and are battle tested. They are fit and have depth.
Katie McClure F is FOR REAL! 17 goals on the season and very fast. She had a hat trick yesterday against Xavier. Her greatest strength is that she finishes. Give her an opening and it’s a goal. She is faster than Jones or Eskew on the outside. I would not be surprised to see her marked 1v1 by Harris or Griffiths. She rarely if ever ventures back to support on D hoping to spring out on a break away. We have faced numerous players with her speed but not her killer instinct
Their GK Sarah Peters is physically imposing but no Krzeczowski. They are physically stronger than us but they cannot match our speed other than McClure.
They have been wildly inconsistent with some really good wins and then..... they lost to a Texas team that they were much better than. In the Purdue tournament They lost to undermanned DePaul team 1-0( at least one board member chided our team for only winning 1-0 against DePaul even though we outshot DePaul 22-2 and they had 0 SOG) and should have lost to Purdue. Okla. St blew them up for 5 goals. That is more goals then we gave up in 13 SEC Matches!
I believe we win if
We do not get surprised early by McClure’s speed.
Play our usual ball control game and play tough physically.
