It was a good season, but we've been there, done that in the NCAA tourney. It's time to take the next step.
The bottom line is that we have to do better in the regular season to secure a 1 or 2 seed so these type of games are at home. Now, Penn State was clearly a better team than us, especially in the midfield, so we just have to improve in that area in order to compete at the elite level.
Hopefully the Currie sisters are as good as advertised and Coach G can go recruit some more great midfielders that can control the game against top competition.
This game was a good measuring stick for us as a program, and we now know we still have a long way to go to play for a national title. I really hope Coach G starts scheduling some elite teams on the road in the nonconference so we can be prepared for these type of games in the tourney.
