...Munro acknowledged this development at this season's outset when he shifted to the three-fullback defense that has become standard in college soccer. The 2-0 loss to Amherst, however, made him immediately switch his attention to offense...
This is a real problem. Munro has directed his players to slow the game down and have all ten men moving forward together. When play reaches the penalty zone, the halfback or inside should slip a pass between the backs toward the goal and, hopefully, the wings and insides will crash through and get off a shot...
