1-1 with 32 minutes left. Really need a win against a team picked last in their conference.

1-1 tie….not good. Probably the worst team we will play until Eastern Illinois the last game of the season.

The heat index is about 106 and there is no shade for the players. We had some great looks but missed a few bunnies. We probably should have won, but I’m sure they felt the same since we are only in year 2 of D1. I’m ok with a tie most games because we are mostly freshman and sophomores, but we could have won this game.

Coach talked about how we blew 2 easy goals which would have given us a win. He also talks about how young we are with many playing at the college level for first time.

I think the team overall is better than last year, but the record will be worse. Last year we had multiple wins against non D1 teams. None are on the schedule this year. The quality of player this year is better, but they are freshman and several sophomore’s also. We will make young mistakes…..which we already have that cost us in these first 2 games……but I think we will improve as we get experience.

It's to bad the Wright State game is not on tv. I think USI can win this game.

2-0 Wright State
Very promising Freshman Torres scores for USI, 2-1. Plenty of time to try and walk out with a tie.

Final Score: Wright State 2, USI 1
I think the women have enough talent to win a few games. The men on the other hand, yikes!

Agree about changing coach for the men. I gave him a break last year…..but……2 crappy years and he needs to be replaced. Our men haven’t been a serious contender since they were D1 the first time under different coach. I don’t know why he has been allowed to have so many losing seasons without someone asking why. Not saying we should be IU men’s soccer level, but we shouldn’t be getting blasted by mid majors. It might be time unless a huge turn around happens this year imo.

This group he assembled this year may miraculously be worse than last year. When you are middle of the pack in D2, you aren’t going to win in D1. Now would be the time to clean the house because new coach would have 2 more of years of transition and thus the time to recruit and get some kids that can play in here.
