UAB and the SMU mens' soccer team battled to a 1-1 tie at the end of two overtime periods.
We looked and played much better than last week. However, we were unable to come away with a victory. UAB scored early on a defensive lapse and had few opportunities as the game progressed.
Some areas that continued to cause problems for the Mustangs were: sloppy passing, getting pushed off of the ball, weak counter attacks and lack of a strong offense. Many of our shots were from 30-35 yards out. IMHO we do not have players with the ability to fire 'missle' type shots from that distance. UAB seemed to be much more effective with set plays on corner kicks and free kicks close to the box. Hopefully we can look for more improvement at Sunday's game.
GO PONIES!!!
