SLU Men's Soccer Thread

Billikens open up the scoring 30 minutes into the game, 1-0 SLU over GM, goal by Matthew Wrobel

[Lord Elrond]

And another! 2-0 Billikens, 40 minutes into the game, Max Floriani scores a beautiful goal

Inflated a$$ ranking and seed George Mason. Pretenders.

We are playing 22 players on defense. Hope this doesn’t come back to bite us.

Mason with a lot of good opportunities. Need some offense.

Mason is not good. They did not have to play any of the other 3 left in the tournament in the regular season. They split with Duquesne and UMass the only two teams in the top 6 that they did play.

[Lord Elrond]

GM gets one back in the 65th minute, 2-1 Billikens

[Lord Elrond]

Wait a minute, goal waived off, 2-0 Billikens!  Offsides called

Great save by Abonell

Mason May not be good but they are totally dominating the second half. They could easily have 2 goals. Hate our approach.

I mean, I don't know where that's a penalty.

[Lord Elrond]

Dang, PK good, 2-1 Billiken lead, this one’s not coming off the scoreboard.

Pretty weak stuff. Almost like they felt bad about calling the (correct) offsides call a few minutes prior.

Another great save by Jeremi

Saved the season right there. What call did all the SLU players want?

No idea. Minute and a half left

[Lord Elrond]

Billikens win, 2-1! On to the conf championship

[Lord Elrond]

Billikens head to Dayton on Sunday

Is this the header right to him? I think they wanted a foul going out on the player trying to pounce on the rebound 

[billikenfan05]

Mason was ranked 21st after this slate. Really calls into question the credentials of Top Drawer Soccer

Jeremi was amazing last night…just like the second half against MSU.  

BTW, does anyone know what happened to Tiago Lopes?  I saw him play against IU.  He played well.  And then basically disappeared??

[WUH]

Lopes, injured, unfortunately.

Long term injury. SLU has had about a dozen players miss at least 1 games due to injury, and some have missed much more than that. That’s why having a 2nd 11 is so important as well as versatility with the roster. Townsend, Fournier, Easton, and Holloway have all played well in the defensive midfield this season where Lopes plays. 17 Billikens have played more than one position this season.
