We visited Wooster on their homecoming, marking 2 years in a row going to them to play; something I did to help even out scheduling issues since we already had 11 home games this year. Last year we wasted an early lead and lost 1-2 after playing with ten men for about 30 minutes. This year we went out and played probably our worst half of soccer from the kickoff, getting outshot 7-4 for the period. At halftime we regrouped and played much better, eventually evening shots at 11-11 on the day and hitting the post (Shvan Al-Hussein) in the first half and the crossbar (Corey Campbell)in the second.
Despite the pressure, a Wooster forward broke into the box and was fouled way out wide away from goal for a penalty. For the 5th consecutive time we conceded a penalty without getting a card. Not that I'd like to see people carded or ejected for fouling but it means that we haven't been reacting to "a clear goalscoring chance" but rather creating one for our opponents. It didn't help that the Wooster player who scored the penalty was the son of a guy who lived on my hall freshman year at Wooster. Down we go again despite a decent response in the second half.
