Miami Exhibition

Agree on Kurle. She certainly displayed a very fearless, mature, self-confident game. One of those rare freshman who I think will hit the ground running at the D1 level. Mark her for my pre-season favorite for Frosh of the Year.

Agree with head coach Tom Anagnost on possession. It seemed that Miami did a better job keeping and maintaining possession. The Pilots ...maybe much due to the cycling of personnel...look to still be working on chemistry and cohesion. They looked more like a counter-attack team...but then again...we didn't finish what few chances they had after the 1st goal. Kudos to the Maimi keeper who made an awesome save and prevented our best chance for 2nd goal!

Who knows what the starting lineup will look like against FSU???? I trust the individual talent is there....but whoever makes the starting unit....I hope they iron out the learning curve of playing together pretty quick! That's sorta what I got out of the pre-seaon match last night. No doubt that FSU is a quality team that will test the Pilots right off the bat on opening night. I'm somewhat anxious that there's only 1 week to develop team chemistry. I'm not Bob Whitset, I guess! ...and we're not opening the season against a patsy!

GO PILOTS!!!

One thing you could say about the team last year was they could get pushed around a little by physical teams. The toughness Kurle brings will be very helpful.

PSU and Miami also tied 1-1 today at Hillsboro stadium.

Then they had a shootout (first one of those i ever heard of in an exhibition..I guess its practice)

Miami won 5-4 in spot kicks.

It sounds like a good game, I wish I had been there.
