I think this is going to be a much more challenging match than it appears on "paper". I will be happy with any win, regardless of how ugly. Sometimes winning ugly shows character; this is one of those games.

We really need it to start cementing a top 4 spot in the Big East standings. (Only the top 4 make the Big East tournament)

It's getting late early for Akron Soccer in the Big East. Need every win we can down the stretch.

We still have a good route to the Midwest title, as we play Xavier still. Plus, Creighton and Xavier play each other tonight and Creighton plays Georgetown (next week, I think). But we have to take care of business to get it done.
