both chance control couple defend game goals good improving program simple today uplifting west winning
It's a pretty simple game really, if you defend well and get a couple of goals, you have a pretty good chance of winning the game. We did both of those today pretty well. This was an uplifting game for us. Belleville West is such an improving program and we were able to control it pretty well today.
ball decent happened position seemed
We had some decent ones. It seemed like the ball never happened to get in the right position for us to have a chance.
ball came chances fairly finished great knock
We came out and were able to knock the ball around fairly effectively, which is always nice. We were able to come up with some really great chances on goal, and finished some of them.
possess score tough
It's a tough part about the sport of soccer. You can really possess it a lot and do a lot of things right but you have to score goals.
catch chance difficult positions puts
This puts us in positions to at least have a chance to catch Collinsville and O'Fallon. It's going to be very difficult to catch those teams, but we still have a chance.
ball chances close corners good hard job seemed
Alton did a good job of working hard to try and keep us out. We were getting around corners in the box. There were very close chances but it seemed like it was never enough to get that ball to go in.
great half job john seven six
John Day does a great job in the first half to keep us in it. There's got to be six or seven opportunities they get and he comes up big on saves.
conference far game good happened might prediction stuff team throw time
I will never, ever make a prediction with any Southwestern Conference team this year. Every time I think that I might have a read on a game, you can just throw it out the window. If you can predict a game after all the stuff that's happened so far . . . Good luck.
ahead bit games knock late liable opportunity people team tired
Really when you look late in games, people are going to be a bit more tired in the back and liable to make more mistakes. We don't want to give up an opportunity where a team can go ahead and knock something forward.
begins confidence couple prey score simple sudden wondering
If you don't score for a couple of games, it really begins to prey on your confidence. All of the sudden you're wondering if you are ever going to score again. And if you don't score, you don't win, it's as simple as that.
couple good played second soccer touches
I don't like to lose, but it's very encouraging to see how well we played in the second half. A couple of touches here or there and were even with a very good soccer team.
game teams
You know that it's always going to be a tough, interesting game when these two teams meet.
create crowd electricity gave good guys sudden though
You could just feel the electricity in the crowd there. Even though that one doesn't go in. I think it gave us a big lift. All of the sudden the guys see that they could put one in, that we could create some good opportunities.
