Sun Devil Soccer closes out the first weekend of play on Sunday (7 pm MST) when it hosts Hawaii at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.
Sunday’s contest is the second of two games the Sun Devils are playing in front of their home crowd this weekend.
NOTES FROM LAST GAME
• ASU opened the 2022 campaign with a 1-1 tie vs, 2021 NCAA Tournament participant South Dakota State in a game contested in atypical fashion. Lightning halted play in the 48th minute on Thursday with SDSU up 1-0 after scoring in the 16th minute. The two teams agreed to restart play of the game, which started at 7 pm MST, on Friday at 10 am MST.
• The first goal of Sun Devil sophomore forward Keri Matthews’ career in the 50th minute tied the game at 1-1. Lucy Johnson and Indiana transfer Gabi Rennie, who played for New Zealand in the most recent Summer Olympics, teamed up to set up Matthews’ goal.
• The Sun Devils were denied a dramatic win when it was ruled they were offsides after Eva van Deursen found the back of the net in the 90th minute.
• Sophomore goalkeeper Birta Gudlaugsdottir tied her career high with nine saves.
• Freshman D Andrea Kraetzer and freshman M Enasia Colon were ASU’s first-time starters in the lineup.
HEAD COACH GRAHAM WINKWORTH SAID…
“[On Thursday night] we were making mistakes in both penalty areas, missing relatively easy chances and giving the opposition too many easy chances from errors. I thought we absolutely controlled the first 15 minutes (while going against a strong wind) but then we lost our heads and didn’t recover until the second half [on Friday morning]. And I thought we were pretty dominant [on Friday].”
“We were more composed [on Friday]. I think we lost our heads [on Thursday night] when we went one-nil down, and I think every time the ball came to somebody, especially in the wind, we just couldn’t control it, we couldn’t focus and we weren’t moving and we just weren’t us. We were just 11 individuals out there. [On Friday], we looked more like a team. Scoring an early goal gave us the early confidence, and honestly thought we ran out of time because the next goal was coming, and I thought it had in the last few seconds.”
SETTING THE STAGE FOR 2022
The Sun Devils are led by sixth-year head coach Graham…
