Kirt goes with the same 3-5-2 but changes the outside mids: Hennessey is in Nelson's right-wing spot while freshman Midgley is in for Zalusky. Happy to see the coaches trying to improve the lineup. It's been my thought to have Hennessey in the back, in Katz's spot, and move Katz up to outside mid--as she is a natural midfielder.
What I don't understand--and I think this was a Kirt screwup: Why not try different lineup combinations while you're playing lesser non-conference opponents--of which we had four? That was the time to try different personnel and he didn't do it--he rolled out the same lineup every game. Now he's made a change before a very big game. Let's hope Hennessey and Midgley give us a little more, and win this one.
