Bob Lilley was not exactly ecstatic but still was not upset about the performance he saw from the mix of trialists and contracted players on Friday night against Canisius College. Instead, Lilley seemed more like your average office worker about to clock back in after lunch; rather reluctantly accepting the quotidian tasks of preseason. The veteran head coach mentioned that he was looking for a bit more from certain returning players and that a handful of trialists had really impressed him.
You could have heard Lilley's words directly but corrupted audio files are a thing.
As in previous years, Rochester's coach was quietly confident about the process of finding players that fit his soccer philosophy.
