After a tentatively promising 2-1 preseason, Drake Men’s Soccer is just as tentatively anticipating the new season. A 3-1 disappointing loss to Pacific University on Friday followed by senior forward James Wypych’s golden goal against CSU Bakersfield two days later gave Drake a 1-1 start to the 2016 season.
Of course, the season is far from over with nearly 90 percent of the schedule yet to be played. There’s plenty of time for the team to make adjustments; shore up the backline to prevent giving up three goals again, adjust attacking strategies to avoid the necessity of another golden goal, identify the most effective squads to take the field each match and provide opportunities for the team’s leaders-to-be to step forward.
