A stat line shows just one measure of success. There are many other factors to the game to also be considered. Success at one aspect of the game does make up for other possible weaknesses. [b]A 3-1 loss is a stat line that demonstrates other weaknesses[/b].

It is a team game. If one wants to believe scoring one goal for happened solely based on one playup then by that same logic it could be safe to consider that three goals against could also be attributed to that one playup. It works both ways.

Perhaps the better way to look at it is that the 04 team is strong enough to allow a playup to have a level of success versus believing the success to be the playups and only the playups success. When a team loses it is in poor taste beat ones chest about scoring one goal and doing so demonstrates selfishness.

Overall run of play was fairly even, but LISC presents a unique challenge. Their scoring is heavily dependent on the athleticism of one player (#7), and when she is having a good day she can dominate a game with unicorn levels of size, pace, and ball striking. She finished in the top-ten in goal scoring for all of the DA last year, and scored two against MU on Saturday.  Yes, the 1-3 loss demonstrates an "other weakness", but MU will not be the only team to demonstrate that particular weakness in handling her this year.

They had a good game against FCV too.  All the LISC teams in multiple age groups competed well this weekend.  It's a bit overstating to say they just had one single good player and that's the difference.

Otherwise, we'd be saying 04 team just doesn't have a very good forward.  [/quote]

Really?  Is losing 6-2 with one of those goals in the last minute or two a good game?[/quote]

Funny how the MU posters praising how well LISC competed this weekend went silent when they were informed that STJFCV dominated LISC yesterday.  Nary a response.  But keep the narrative going y'all.

The LISC 04s and 05s were absolutely dominated by STJFCV.  [/quote]
