Boy, Zajac was able to get plenty head on that cross, but puts it just wide!  We seem to be pressing inside the area.  Need to relax a bit.

 

Come someone more well versed in soccer technique and strategy explain to me why one would want to put that near post, instead of using physics to put a harder shot far post where the goal is wider?

They probably have a specific play called for a player to get open at the near post area.  Corner kicks aren't all skill, strategy also.

Great win for the Zips!

 

I admit that after the 2nd PK save by the Louisville goalie, I started to think that maybe it wasn't to be ... so glad the team was able to come out on top in the end.

 

On to the College Cup!
