UMD 4-William and Mary 1......2 for freshman Erwin Diaz, gamewinner from redshirt-sophomore Abe Thompson on a PK, and late finish to the near post from redshirt-freshman Domenic Mediate. Not sure who got the Tribe's goal, a long free kick into the box I think #7 Ralph Bean got a head to it and nodded it down, and someone else came and tapped it in.
I missed the first 10 minutes, but saw all the rest. The first half and the beginning of the second half were close, but after that terrible mistake by the W&M goalie on the second Diaz goal it looked like W&M just gave up hope. They started yelling at each other and just looked very disorganized. Some of the W&M ball movement in the first half was quite impressive for a college team. UMD in the first half seemed content to send long balls over the defense and pray that these reached a forward (rarely did). Overall, UMD played well, but I think once they get the forwards and midfielders to show for the ball with backwards runs they will be even more of a dangerous team.
