SMU lost to Okie State last night, 3-0. But as depressing as the score was, I was actually pretty encouraged. SMUMustangs.com had a story a few weeks ago about all the freshmen Coach Erwin signed, and some of them looked pretty good.
The ones who stood out to me:
Dylan Jordan - we came out in what looked like a one-forward formation, and she was playing up front. Lot of hustle, lot of technical skill. She got multiple coverage pretty quickly, but she looks like a player.
Logan May - played forward, or maybe an attacking midfielder spot, mostly in the second half. She's tall (6 feet)? and seemed more bent on attacking than some other players. Had a really nice shot late in the game (low, hard shot). She'll score some for us.
Devon Herman - I think that's her name. Not very big, but came in during the second half and seemed to energize the troops a little - tons of hustle. I'm no coach, but I'd play that kid more.
Kaitlyn Edson - another tall one (maybe he recruited for intramural basketball?) who played in the midfield. Looked tough, like she has a lot of grit.
Couple other freshmen played, but I don't remember a lot about them.
Ashley Gunter did a pretty nice job in goal, all things considered, but she was getting bombarded in the first half and did well to keep it close.
