After an impressive 2-0 win over conference foes Buffalo, the Falcon soccer team will face off against the nationally ranked Butler Bulldogs Wednesday.
The Falcons will have to continue to play solid defense if they hope to win their third consecutive game for the first time under head coach Eric Nichols.
The challenge will be tough. Butler, ranked in the top ten in every significant national college soccer poll, will present a difficult challenge for the Falcons.
“We are excited with the opportunity,” said Falcons’ keeper Miguel Rosales. “We can give Butler their first loss, but we need another great performance like we had against Buffalo, especially on defense.”
Although he is a keeper, Rosales also knows how important offensive continuity can be.
“Just like against Buffalo, we need to maintain a balance between offense and defense,” Rosales said. ” We need to continue to take our chances offensively.”
The continually impressive Sam Galloway is cautiously optimistic about today’s game.
“Going into the Butler game we obviously have our work cut out for you,” Galloway said. “We want to be able to do everything we can to do our best out there, and if that’s not enough we are OK with that, as long as we work hard and play to the best of our abilities.”
The Falcons will make the trek to Indianapolis’s Butler Bowl, looking to knock a stout Butler team from the ranks of the college unbeaten. Kickoff for the contest will be at 4 p.m.
