Excitement was high coming into the first match of the season for the Columbus Eagles. The team came off an indoor conference championship and brought back a strong core of Eagles. What resulted in their first outdoor match of the season was a lot of game tape to improve, after falling to Lady Victory FC to a scoreline of 6-0.
Lacking Possession
The first quarter of the match didn’t have a lot of Eagles possession. When Columbus did get the ball, poor passes resulted in turnover after turnover. The Eagles couldn’t hold the ball for more than 30 seconds of match time, resulting in only one shot on target in the first half.
