TennZip Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I don't have any answers for this....... The Zips have definitely been a 2nd half team this year Let's look at the numbers. In 13 games this year, the zips have outscored their opponents 28 to 7 If you break that down by half, the zips have outscored their opponents 8 to 6 in the first half. In the 2nd half, the zips have outscored their opponents 20 to 1. That seems very hard to believe Let's look at it ...game by game Niagara....... zips won each half 3-0 Vermont scoreless at halftime zips scored the only goal of the game in the 2nd half Michigan Michigan led 1-0 at halftime Zips scored the only goal in the 2nd half SIU scoreless at halftime zips scored the only goal of the game in the 2nd half Long Island Zips led 1-0 at halftime each team scored a goal in 2nd half FIU Shooky came out like a house afire...and scored 2 goals in the first 10 minute 2-0 at halftime scoreless half for both teams in 2nd half Providence Zips trailed 3-1 at halftime Zips won 2nd half 2-0 Notre Dame both halfs were scoreless St. Johns Zips trailed 1-0 at halftime Zips scored the only goal of the game in 2nd half Seton Hall 1-1 at half time Zips scored the only 2 goals in 2nd half Northern Kentucky Scoreless at halftime Zips scored the only 2 goals in 2nd half Depaul and Cleveland State both games were scoreless at half time Zips held both teams scoreless in the 2nd half...while the zips scored 3 goals in the 2nd half in both games in their 13 games this year, there have been 8 games where the zips have not scored a goal in the first half. On the other side, the zips were only held scoreless in the 2nd half against Notre Dame and against FIU. None of us....can argue with the Zips great success. Being undefeated after 13 games is fantastic. However, as a fan, I would sure like to see the zips with a 1-0 lead or a 2-0 lead at halftime in some of their remaining games. We know that the zips have great talent and great depth. Maybe, we are just seeing the zips wearing down teams in the 2nd half. Several of the posters (myself included) have given a lot of credit to the coaches for great halftime adjustments. I just thought that it was interesting to see the scoring comparisons by half. Let's hope that the Zips beat Xavier 3-0....with a 2-0 lead at half time...Go, Zips 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Most in-game adjustments by Zips coaching staff in 2023 have been spot on with both personnel and tactics. Maybe they are improving at their craft. Good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
