learning how to win games

Tonight's home game with Shepherd was a good test of our patience and persistence over a 90 minute game and also a lesson in managing the game late. Our players were impressive in how they maintained a good level of energy and kept working to keep possession of the ball and create chances in spite of not scoring early. We've also talked a lot about always knowing the time and score and how to behave as a team when we're "up a goal late". Every second counts in a 1-goal game.
