CCSU didn't look threatening but they were packing 9 guys in the box basically the whole game and they were working really hard defensively. Our normal ethos offensively seems to be look for line-breaking passes, little flicks, etc that open up a forward for a shot, but that is a lot less effective against a team that is so tightly packed into their own box. One way to combat this is to shoot from range, but the shots from distance that we took were not very good.

I personally thought the team should have been more willing to send crosses in, especially when we have Charlie Holmes and Evan Pickering at forward, who are both 6'3, and Austin Brummett who is very good at winning headers. Given the amount of possession we had in their half, it just seemed to me like we were too risk-averse while we tried to create the perfect opportunity instead of just generating more chances.

That being said, I'm pretty sure Brummett hit the post twice and I'd certainly be a lot less concerned if we won 3-0.
