Watt back in to start the second half

We used 17 players tonight. Looked like Olivia, Claudette and Jenna were not in uniform. Would have liked to see the other 4 players who were in uniform get in the game. Karlina has a brace on 1 knee. That was a great goal by Ally but I was worried when she got injured sliding. And a great save by Cossette late when she reached out with her right hand and took the ball off the foot of the TCU player.

Played well in the first half but second half we really struggled in the midfield and had little possession. Crabtree missed a point blank shot from 5 years out. Asdis played some but is still learning how to play with the team, but I do expect her to eventually start. Watt did have a great goal in the first half. Morche made some good saves but she refuses to kick the ball out of the back which makes me believe her leg is injured in some way. Alston had another bad giveaway that almost led to goal, it reminded me of the giveaway vs ND last year.

The midfield is a bit concerning after 2 exhibition games as we struggle to string passes together consistently. The Bates sisters played together in the midfield in the second half but not very effectively. Thankfully the schedule is light early in the season so there is time to mesh.
