Crawfordsville High School’s girls soccer team is stuck in a mental battle.
For the second straight game, the Athenians’ flat second half cost them a game.
Coach Kim Cullen knows they can fix the problem.
As to when her team will keep the intensity the whole game, she’s still not sure.
Visiting Greencastle scored four second-half goals en route to a 5-1 victory over Crawfordsville.
Crawfordsville
(0-2) had the game tied at 1-1 at the half, thanks to a goal from
sophomore Haley Horner. Junior Alex Gasaway had the assist.
But once again, like they did in a 5-1 loss at McCutcheon last week, they couldn’t keep up that high level of play.
“It’s
all mental,” Cullen said. “I think they’ll get there. We’re a young
team. We stayed back too much and watched the ball. We didn’t put
pressure on (Greencastle). We couldn’t seem to maintain possession in
the second half.”
Crawfordsville next plays Thursday in a 4:30 p.m. game at Sagamore Athletic Conference rival Frankfort.
“I
think our veterans need to step up a little bit and lead the team
more,” Cullen said. “They need to control more of the game.”
