0-0 78 minutes in.
Totally controlling the game but yet to cash.
Hope we take it late.

18-4 shot advantage

We need to hit the frame more.

Good win against No 18 in the country.
Controlled the game throughout.
Baker and Zengue are dangerously at all times.
We just need to finish better against good teams.
Looking forward to Monday.

Annoying to settle for a draw against a team that came in 0-3 on the year, but FIU is a tough matchup for us - they have lots of pace, are used to high levels of heat and humidity, and they seem to take pleasure in committing as many fouls as possible. It was good to see the number of chances generated, even if none of them went in, thanks in no small part to FIU's giant of a goalkeeper.

Very unsatisfying result off a good effort.
My two takeaways:
1. That keeper is very, very good; and
2. Our boys need to shoot more and more often rather than try to complete the perfect sequence.
On to the next one.

2. Our boys need to shoot more and more often rather than try to complete the perfect sequence. Yeah, was having a conversation about this during/after the game. Came up in the match against UNCG as well. On the one hand, I'm as likely to yell "Get it off your foot!" as the next observer. On the other hand, I am conscious of just how much traffic both teams put in front of the ball and how closely they were contesting the Hoya on the ball. It's quite hard to create the space to wind up and deliver with pace and on-target (as opposed to off an opponent). Some of it is just deciding that creating a pinball effect in the box is more likely to result in something positive than taking 5 touches too many and having the opportunity sniffed out. But it's a hard thing to do in the moment, when all you see are obstacles in between you and the goal.

However, I think over a course of several years, the perfect has often been the enemy of the good.

60 minutes in and the field seems a bit tilted in favor of Cornell.
Boys need to dig back in and take control of this game.

Tough to let late lead get away but Cornell was on the front foot for much of this game and deserve a result.
