This was probably the first big weekend --Conference wise-- and there were a couple of upsets with 1-0 scores. Seton Hall and Ohio St beat ranked St. Johns and Maryland.
First-year program with really no recruiting. A club team disguised as a Division I team...he'll probably get some players next year to start closing that gap. It won't happen overnight.
Not to mention a roster of only 16, three of which are keepers. Doesn't appear to be an assistant coach, either.
I'm always happy to find a new team to root for - here's a game report that gets an A for optimism ... https://www.gocsucougars.com/news/2021/2/28/xavier-takes-down-chicago-state-mens-soccer.aspx "Xavier is a good team and they're coached well, so we knew they were going to be tough," head coach Trevor Banks said. "We went into the match with 12 guys, so fatigue set in, which made things tougher. The thing that excited me was the attitude, commitment and effort of our guys. We didn't stop, we kept fighting until the very end and jogged off the field with our heads held high. For me, that's a win." .... The Musketeers then tallied two more goals before the two teams battled to 23 minutes of stalemate soccer to cap off a 10-0 result. "We got our first corner kick in the second half, which was exciting," Banks said. "The way I look at it, we are continuing to grow, and that's what we did yesterday. We will take the lesson, learn from it, and I promise you we will be better."
