At Hoosiers, Zips could pass into the Midfield.
But they could not were not allowed to make that next pass among Midfielders. Any success was either one touch out of Midfield into Offense, or directly over top the Midfield entirely. No second touches in MF were successful. Zips need someone in MF to receive and keep the ball in order for the team to advance up the pitch. Then deliver a high percentage pass. Gyuwon Chong was very sorely missed.
Training drills should focus on playing into midfield and keeping it for (again) high percentage pass into Offense.
