I will go on record that they will improve this year on last year's record.

A tie after going 1-15-1 last year. Not bad.

Sounds like we plan on playing a lot of 0-0 games this year with the new coach’s heavy emphasis on D.
I did find it a little odd that he didn’t appear certain that the loud fans in attendance were the football team. Dude, I know you’re a soccer guy but if a lot of jacked up dudes show up at an HC Women’s soccer game in August and make a lot of noise, that’s the football team.

You mean he can’t tell the difference between fútbol and football?😉

You mean he can’t tell the difference between fútbol and football?😉 Three women currently on the HC team played at St. Anthony's. I don't know if they were necessarily superstars there or what the quality of their club teams were but that school plays sports (including soccer) at a pretty high level. Now if we could get a couple of their good lax guys to head our way we'd be off to the races in that sport.

You talking about the St. Anthony’s on Long Island or NJ? If the former, which I think you are, that’s where I went to high school and the reason I think that’s where you are referring is because I recall reading about one of them going from the Galloping Friars to Crusaders awhile back and posted that on here.
While I financially support the school, I don’t follow them that closely.

/\ Of course the (now coed and now Huntington-based) St Anthony’s on LI. I saw the (backs of) those black/gold jerseys many times at Sunken Meadow!
I thought you’d appreciate the high number of ST A’s women (3) currently on our HC women’s soccer team .

The game is on ESPN+ replay. I just got an email that my ESPN+ subscription was increasing to $9.99/mo. Am I correct that the price has increased about 40%?

This makes HC away games less accessible to local fans who might take in a home game or two in person but now can't follow the team on radio or streaming during away games unless they fork over ten bucks a month.
That's still a great bargain for core fans but it would be nice to expand the base, as they say, during the Chesney era.

Tied Siena today on the road 2-2 - only one goal credited to an HC player so it looks like we benefited from an ‘own goal’ directed into their own net by Siena

Last year’s 1-15-1 record resulted in a winning percentage of .086. This year's 0-0-2 is reported as a winning percentage of .500 on the HC website. Some may calculate it as .000, but either way the team is undefeated after two games which is terrific.

Our player got into some kind of scuffle w/a Lady Stag (that's a good one, if you think about it), both got carded.
Then, later, our same player got tangled up w/another opponent and kicked her way out of the tangle, drawing a red (I don't think it was the kind of kick that gets you tossed, but she already had a caution). A few minutes before FU scored.

HC had three more shots on goal than Fairfield: nine to six. And one more shot overall.

Total mismatch obviously - afraid it will be another long season - baby steps with this program and the new coach
