Day 6 Preseason

The return of our goalkeeping coach was sure to put the keepers through their paces today and he did not fail to disappoint.  As the outfield players worked on attacking it was one of our defenders who caught my eye when Shaban turned quicker than we'd ever seen to complete a reverse wall pass and leave his defender standing.  After ending his scoring drought earlier in the session Holleran ended the mornings play with a PK that he dispatched easily under the pressure.

After some meetings with sports information it was time for our team photo.  It seemed everyone had a new hairdo, except Felix, and had shaved for the occasion which was nice.  The guys clean up pretty good but unfortunately you cant change the face you are given (unless you have the money and a good surgeon).  Just kidding guys don't be too upset.

After the pic we were back on the field for some shooting and finishing.  Holleran continued to find the back of the net and just when it looked like he could be MVP for the day his service out wide left the staff no option but to say, he couldn't cross a road.  He'll be back tomorrow representing team GB in our own GW Olympic 100m race up against Iceland, South Africa, Brazil, Venezuela, USA, Cuba.

Todays senior is Alejandro Almodovar I hope to have some more videos in the next couple of days.

Magic moment of the day
It seems today belonged to our Virginians.  Gallelli and McQuitty scored some great goals in the shooting, Abaie won his third header of preseason, Shaban looked his sharpest so far, Khan was solid again and a Higgins combo with Sousa combined for the best cross and headed goal in the PM session.

Before Delaware sues me Higgins qualifies for the Virginia crowd after attending HS and playing club ball in Northern VA
