Defense-Defense-Defense
One of the biggest surprises of fall ball, according to Coach Scordato, is how deep the defense is. Though UConn lost Peter Gabriele to graduation (now the Huskies Defensive Coordinator), UConn's back-up goalie from last year has taken over and has performed quite well. "John Sherman (Wilton HS, CT) has really stepped up this past fall ball season between the pipes. He knows the weight is on his shoulders and he is up for the task," Coach Gabriele says. "I am hoping I can pass down to him some of my experiences being the starting goalie for the past two years."
This year the hope is the Huskies can continue to keep their opposition's scoring down. Last year the Huskies held opponents to an average of 7.7 goals per game. "I am hoping this year we maintain our 7-8 goals against average. I think that is reasonable and can be accomplished. If the defense does their part then the offense can run without too much pressure," says Scordato.
