Sac State try’s some new tactics with there new first year head Coach. @teachmedia.bsky.social #j138p1

62’ foul from Hornets on Gaels center of the field. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

The Hornets are strategically trying to move forward and find their opportunity in an opening, but are falling short. They seem to be struggling at this point to keep the ball off their half.

61 minutes in no shots on goal for Hornets compared to having there shots on goal in first [email protected] #J138p1

The Hornets have not been aggressive enough offensively. Hardly pushing the ball pass midfield and continuing to build from the back lines. Hornets leading in possession but hasn't led to shots on goal only have 3 in the game and 0 in the second half. @teachmedia.bsky.social #j138p1

@sacstate.bsky.social Hornets keep pressuring while the Gales defense remain strong and intact ! @teachmedia.bsky.social #j138p1

Good defense from Hiroshi Yang to give @sacstate.bsky.social possession of the ball in the 59th minute. Sacramento State down 2-0 to St. Mary’s. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

At the 60 minute mark the @sacstate.bsky.social Hornets will need to be more aggressive on flooding the offensive end. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Although the Hornets continue pressure against the Gaels, they have come short of being able to get a shot on goal. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Hornets 🐝 continue to hold possession with a small build up but with no luck. Geals defender Firestone clears a ball switched over. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Hornets momentarily lost possession with ball going out of bounds off of a Gael, they return to holding the ball amongst each other. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Hiroshi Yang with a good tackle to stop a good Saint Mary’s attack. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Gaels opportunity fizzles as @sacstate.bsky.social fights to create an opportunity of their own. Still 2-0 here in the second half. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

@sacstate.bsky.social able to stop a push by the Gaels and are back on offense. #j138p1 @teachmedia.bsky.social

Minute 58, Hornets Stangio tries to cross the ball to Giles but the pass was too long and went out of bounds.
score 2-0

The Hornets have done better in time of possession than the first half however they aren't attacking. More touches in the final 1/3 of the field have led St. Marys to the 2 goals while sac state still struggles to put shots on goal. @teachmedia.bsky.social #j138p1

Another grab for Sam Bentley. Despite the Hornets playing more direct with the ball, he continues to thwart all their attempts on goal. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Hornets take their time with the ball far from the awaiting goal, with ball attempted to travel down the right side of the field. Attempt was unsuccessful as Gael’s goalie, Brett LaPorte, takes the ball. @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Sac State is winning the possession game but to no avail as it has been mostly on the defensive side of things @teachmedia.bsky.social #J138p1

Defense tactics helping the Hornets. Keeping the Gaels away with no shot attempt in the second half!
