Housekeeping; Lady Bucs FC Home Opener Tonight!

Let me first say that I apologize for accidentally nuking my recap of the Tusculum game. To hit the highlights:

  • The team won 3-2, despite not playing all that well (which Calabrese and captain Guilherme Reis both admitted to). Lots of aerial work instead of moving the ball along the ground.
  • The lights still don't work.
  • Sean Hoek is not on the roster anymore. I asked our sports information director about this and got no definitive answer. I won't speculate on where he went or why he has been left off the roster, but the absence of the school's all-time leading goal scorer (and, in my personal opinion, the team's best outfield player in 2009) will be a big void to fill.
  • I wish I had Gui's dance moves. Please, somebody, anybody, professional or amateur, get a picture of this guy doing the samba next time he scores a goal. Or, even better, send us a video of YOUR best goal celebration (the "Icelandic Fisherman" doesn't count).
  • If David Geno can consistently play like he did against Tusculum, he could score 40 goals or more in his time at ETSU.
Later tonight, I'll have a recap of the women's game against TN-Wesleyan. This should be an interesting match-up. Wesleyan are talented, but they're even younger than the Lady Bucs (technically, they're the Buccaneers and not the Lady Bucs according to their most recently published media guide, but I don't know of anyone who actually calls them that), as they field fifteen freshmen. Kick-off is at 5 PM sharp.
