They ran the score up in the last 5 minutes, scoring four goals. Hopefully, we can stand our ground a little better.
St. Thomas took the lead in that game right off the bat from half time by dominating the face off. They dropped in two quick goals right after half time when everyone (on both teams) should have been fresh.
St. Thomas didn't run the score up, they took advantage of execution. They scored evenly throughout by executing on offense and defense. I would stick to building up your wins rather than justifying your losses. I can't stand it when people get on here and talk about why they lost. Teams end up losing because they didn't score as many points as their opponents.
I highly doubt any team in the country has palyed all their games with a 100% squad. UST had to use a converted middie in goal for the past 5-6 games including the conference playoffs but managed to get through it. They will likely be a better team this week when their starting goalie returns, but their depth and execution is what got them through that period. That's how good teams win. By taking what they have and rolling with it no matter the elements, injuries or sickness. All teams deal with that.
Harding is a good squad that has quality wins, I would pay more attention to the quality wins as opposed to one of the only blemishes on their schedule over the past few years.
