Hello everybody and welcome to the Wolfpack Training Center for Club Daughter Madden and
we're in the table pack for this game in Andrew. Let's see if we can get through this game
whether we don't have to cooperate but I think it's going to be a good one.
Yeah, that factor is not looking so good at the moment. We're showing a radar map of
Potetit first but we'll hope these boys get this wrapped up when wrapped up before that
does.
The woman's game is for detectable falls game. We already gave this game. However, Wolfpack
coming to this game is tied for Carolina. Lawn has time for zero so I think game Lawn
actually has two subs. I don't even have the players on the list of players so it's a good
test for Wolfpack. Yeah, if I'm in the pack, I definitely try to play the Potetit game.
Play kind of a high speed up tempo game. Get that ball moving up and down the field
quickly. Get these Elon players tired out and have to pick it up.
Rainy luck today. We got a lot of rain today. Luckily this is turf so it won't get bad.
That's a nice ball right now from the state. That's off to Aidan Alex. Back to the middle.
Set by Sean Fincher. Forward. Pass off the foot. Throw in. Gather does. Passed off.
Flip the ball. Back to the top. Touch on. Touch by the state.
Out wide. That was number one. Sean Gagne. The state will play through the back now with
Justin Bruno. Here's Hockham. Can't quite get to the ball. It's going to be an easy
save for the goalkeeper there. The state's going to go to the possession right here in
the early going. Here's Rice. Trying to go to Dove. Going to get in front of them. This
is going to throw in for Elon here as the sun starts to shine very brightly. It's a little
windy out here. Running a tornado watch I believe. I believe that is correct. I believe we could
have some good wind on the way here but a little bit of a feeling out process so far
in this game. Both offenses the ball kind of probing back and forth. Nobody really able
to get anything in terms of a quality offensive chance just yet. Bring it in go passing it
back all the way. Here's Rice in the middle. Trying to play it into Hockham. Can't quite
get to him. It's going to be a corner kick for NC State. The first of the game. But clouds
everywhere but not where the sun is right now so it's kind of difficult for us to see
at the moment. Say Aiden Halligan will take the corner. It's a low driven one. Cleared
by the Elon. DeSerfino in the back now. It's a Skyler Dove. Back to DeSerfino. We'll pack
for going to move it through the back now. In go. Daniel Rice once again. Look for Skyler
Dove. Went to right to the Elon defender. Elon once again can't quite get any possession
here. Here's Twit. Rice. How I'd get on the far side. In go. Kanye. Trying to play Twit
but in go. Gains possession for the Wolf Pack. Here's Bruno. Trying to get to Hockham.
DeSerfino now. Could shield by Elon however. Twit what are you getting possession for the
Wolf Pack. It's going to be tough for Elon to get any possession here in the early going
as they only have 10 players right now. They don't even have a full strength team right
now. That one was off the foot of Allagood. This is a round robin club soccer tournament
going we have going on here and we will see two 25 minute halves in this game assuming
that weather does cooperate. It's a little different from the two 40 minute halves that
you're used to seeing. Yeah a little little shorter game. That actually might benefit
this game because. Yeah we got some distance. It doesn't look too good. Stuff rolling in
here. It makes you wonder if maybe the girls will try to play a little earlier. Virginia
Tech gets here a little early. As their game is scheduled for 830 I believe right after
I believe it's nine o'clock. It might be nine. Yeah. Surround that time. Serfino throwing
it in. Wolf Pack. The championship game is on Sunday. If they get to that game then the
Wolf Pack will be playing on Sunday. Pack TV will be covering that. Here's Dove. Back
to Rice. Rice trying to go through traffic. Can't quite get through it. Job by Elon. Just
to try to get it out. Dispossessed once again. Here's Bruno. Trying to shield the off-tax
man. It's really going to be hard for Elon to even get anything going with only 10 players
on the field. Yeah that I think fatigue is going to be a factor early for them with not
being able to get anybody a break. All good trying to go across the field to Dove. Can't
quite get to him. Serfino. Here's the first attack for Elon. First possession we've seen
from Elon here in the early going. They're dispossessed. Here's Rice now. Trying to go
through traffic. Job by number six there for Elon. Dispossessed for the ball. Gonna have
a off-sides I believe. Here's Alligud. Right to Ingo. It's going to be a throw in for the
ball. We'll attack once again. Two 25 minute passes. This game will probably fly by pretty
quick. Yeah I'd imagine so and we hope so for the sake of this game being played in its
entirety. Let me tell you folks to the right over here. There is one ugly looking cloud
bank rolling in here. But we will we will keep our eyes on that as it gets closer and closer
to where we are at the moment. Not sure how they're going to play this out. Rain does
come into play because well not only that not only rain this is a turf field but got
lightning and heavy wind on the way as well I believe so. I don't know about club but
30 minutes you would think probably. The usual way. Yeah you gotta think though that restarts
every time you see a lightning flash. Yes. Big boot from Elon. I'm gonna go across the
field. Good job by Richard Wright to get a topo on that one. Dove now. This here Fino.
Good job by Twitter right there. Dove can't quite get the ball back. Just say Fino good
chest pass to Dove. There's a chance for Elon right now. Just wide of the goal. Yeah Elon
really with probably the best chance of the game so far. Had a little bit of a little
bit of a sluggish start here offensively for both sides and not able to really get in there
for quality scoring chances. The majority of the possession by far but they haven't really
had any shots or anything to show for it. And Brett it is gotten darker out here in
the past couple minutes. Yeah it's starting to come towards us. I don't know about you
but I'm not really looking forward to get rain on if that's the case. Yeah that doesn't
look like much fun. Hockenbogos takes the deflection off him. Should be Elon ball and
it is for throwing. Got a couple fans here on the far side. This game originally was
supposed to be on method fields but due to the rain we've been having to decide to play
on the turf field because the rain drains out a lot better here. Well the heavy rains
we had this morning I have a feeling those grass fields are not in good shape to play
on at the moment. I assume they will play as accordingly tomorrow. Depending on what
happens tonight. That is true as well. Like we mentioned we are under NATO watch so be
interested to see what happens there. As you stay with the ball now Bruno. Back to
Ryze. Ryze trips up the back to Allagan job by there. Ryze may not to Ingo and that's
a little too far ahead of him. Elon Phoenix ball. Just Elon creeps closer and closer
to us. Winds picking up a little bit here. It's cooling down. We are. I believe we are
at about 20 mile per hour winds. We are a possibility. Earlier this afternoon I was
out today and experienced some heavy winds so certainly we can have something on the
way. As he stayed all tied up with Elon here 0-0. Probably only about 5-10 minutes to go
here in the first half. 25 minute half rule now. There's Gagnier trying to play it in
there. That goes way off his foot. Get the right foot on that one. Elon booted Richard
right. Good header on it. Second bout he could not. Elon trying to play quick. Good defense
by like Ryze I believe. Here's Twit. Twit trying to go in the middle. Job by him to
keep possession. Ball played to Ryze. He can't quite get to it however. Elon throwing. We
officially can't really see the sun anymore. No that has gone away and the wind is picking
up. Are you surprised that as you say is tied so far into this match. Yeah you know I thought
with the lack of substitutions on Elon's side and you know that NC State you know go for
a quicker pace game try to get the ball moving. Tire Elon out start getting you know balls
behind the defenders for scoring chances and NC State's making a few subs here maybe them
getting some fresh bodies on the field while Elon does not have that ability will help
pick things up for the packed offense here. The subs coming in are James Monney and Tyler
Derar. We'll see if those two substitutions can get the first goal of the game for either
team. Right now with the ball. The Bruno trying to go to Hawkins.
The chance for Elon. That's a goal for Elon. Interesting definitely not the result I was
expecting to see early. You know they're able to just work that in get a shot on getting
in kind of a high floater there not a lot not a lot on that shot I think that's one
that the NC State goal tenor probably would want back but. Elon so far defying the odds
here with their lack of fresh bodies and taking a lead. Kind of interesting how you see NC
State pretty much dominate possession all time but yet they're not down 1-0 here late
of the first half. I'm Monney. I apologize we don't have Elon's. There's numbers they
did not give it to us. That is we're often at the mercy of the visiting team when it
comes to getting rosters and. Names and whatnot. Here's Richard Wright on the goal kick. Big
booming kick. See if Hawkins can get a head on it. Here's Elon once again. State gonna
have to come from behind now. It's dominating this whole first half session wise. Well then
a you know you know that happens but then Elon takes the lead they get momentum NC State's
kind of. Scrambling here to catch up all the sudden. Maybe get rattled. Definitely a fortuitous
moment for the Phoenix to take that lead there and. Definitely confidence booster as well.
Get NC State off its game mentally as well. Definitely have an impact. Like a foul on
Elon. I'll go with a quick free kick to Gerard in the middle. I can't get the ball to Bryce.
Here's another break for Elon. Good job by the goalkeeper to come out on that one or
else that was about to be two oh Phoenix. Hey Elon the Elon's offense really taking
it to the pack early here. As I did the leading edge of that nasty looking cloud bank is.
Just about over top of us. Here's Richard Wright on the goal kick.
Kind of cool off about 10 or so degrees. Yeah you're not usually a good sign.
In a. Kind of humid day after the early raining. Here's Monty. To twit dove. Now we're. Kind
of seeing. State not really. Their usual groove. Yeah packs offense is really been struggled
to get going here struggled to move the ball consistently. Even they really have not spent
a lot of time down in that offensive zone really need to. Pick things up here if they
want to get it done. We're in here for Ingo. NC State. Playback for Richard Wright. Richard
Wright just kicks it to the goalkeeper for Elon. Big kick to. The goalkeeper. Far side
now for Elon. That's about the Ingo. Back to Darar. Ball to dove. Here's Hockham. Good
job by Elon. Goalkeeper coming out of that one. Had dove and Hockham there. I think they
kind of gave. Got into each other's way there. We're going to say one oh Phoenix now and
here's a break for them. Trying to go forward. Defense there by Bruno. Oh wow he's going
to get a. P. K. I believe for. Elon. Says it was in the box for the referee and it's
going to be a. Hiddlestick kick all of a sudden now all of a sudden. Phoenix has an opportunity
to go up to nothing here. Nothing really for. State here. Big opportunity. And it's a beautiful
P. K. up in the upper left. And all of a sudden the team with ten players is. Two oh on NC
State. Definitely not the early result I would have expected that a. Beautiful shot by the
Elon player there just. Picking his spot picking that corner perfectly. NC State's goalkeeper
had no chance on that one. Another captain Christian Hall can be. At all. Please with
this team's performance here in the first half. This is a team NC State that strike
back quickly. The firepower they have on offense. But you're not used to seeing this with their
defense. Here's in go now. Ball to dove. Here's a chance. By number nineteen. He didn't
get a little. Can't quite get that one. Are left. The farthest. I was over. Didn't get
any rain right now so. No it's just a matter of. Waiting on it to break. See if it's. Passes
over us before it does so or not I'm not exactly sure how. Big this thing is but. In go. A little.
Job I rise to regain that. I want to in go. The office NC State are growing here for.
Phoenix. About two minutes or so here. The first half. The step by you know right now.
Did it go forward. On the now ball. The rice. I guess. I'm played a little in the middle
goes pass them out. Are going to be. You want. But gone you will come back in. Double exit.
The way to the posing side for. The goalkeeper to collect. The Bruno. You'd like to see
NC State get a goal maybe here before half. Yeah definitely would look. You're definitely
feeling it it's obviously a lot easier. But you're you're feeling a lot better mentally
to if you're down one instead of two at the half. Yeah. This is a. It feels like the.
Beginning. These are not going to go. That's great here.
To watch out. On the far side there. Throw in or either. For a kick. Big throwing.
By. State here that one's going to be a goal kick now. I will. Get up for it. Chance right
now for NC State. That just goes right over by. The great been weathers. Couple quality
chances for NC State this last couple minutes here is they try to cut this deficit in half
but. So far just can't quite find the back of the net. Weathers have a ride either chipping
the goal. A little. Wide right. Right with another good header. Clear. On the now ball.
Bruno. A little. On the try to get in there. Here for NC State. Referee takes a look at
his watch. All here. Now I think not. It makes a little chilly here. Sitting. Yeah it. Yeah
by the time that women's game comes around if it does we're going to be. Going to be
a little cold. Rise. Right now back on a step by a lot of vendor.
Around now. I'm going to go here before half.
Going to be in it. For our now ball. Step by weathers. Take it up the field.
Right right now. Start hitting. Get anything like. Once again.
Both right now for a beautiful goal by the first one and then a PK on the second one.
And that's going to do it here for our first half 2-0, Elon over NC State in the first
half, first half analysis.
Well, you know, I really would have expected NC State to be the stronger team and they
did get off to a stronger start, then all of a sudden Elon just gets it back, gets
one shot, gets a goal, and then there ahead, NC State's kind of shaken up for a bit, you
know, that leads to the PK opportunity to give Elon another goal, but as the half went
along, NC State started to settle in, find that offensive rhythm we expected from them,
just wasn't able to find the back of the net, so we'll see if they can carry that over
into the second half, maybe get some production here.
NC State definitely going to have to play much more tactical, get a couple of goals
in the second half that they want to get back to this game.
We'll be back after the half time.
And after a really short intermission, short half time, we're back here already for the
second half.
I think the referee was a little worried that they might not get this game in, so I don't
even think that was five minute half time.
No, we could not have been away for more than maybe a couple of minutes.
Elon up 2-0 here to start the second half, and if NC State wants to get back into this
game, they're going to have to play a little better there in the back, especially on miscommunication
back there.
Yeah.
They're going to have to get some goals.
Part of the, yeah, well part of the struggle on offense has been the struggle to move the
ball up the field, so that's going to be step one here.
It's like the same starting 11 there for the Wolfpack, and of course it's going to be
the same starting 11 for Elon after they don't have any subs to put in.
Yeah, it might be something to watch as this game goes along.
Fatigue could become an issue for the Phoenix, a lot of the Packs offense to get a little
bit more in terms of open chances.
If anything, it might be a blessing for Elon that the hot coverage did come into play here.
It's not as warm as it was or humid for that matter.
Yeah, a little more easy to keep your energy going, conditions like this that were 80 degrees
and sunny.
Lock him on the header, he goes straight to the Elon goalkeeper, and with only 25 minutes
here in the second half instead of 40, and see State's going to have to get their groove
on a little more quicker here.
We'll have about a short two hour break before the women's game at 9 o'clock.
And Elon might just try to play kickball the whole game, just try to kick it up with
the 2-0 lead, there's definitely no hurry.
There's the Serfino now, Alligut in the middle, Elon just kicked the far side over here.
What would you like to see for NC State here in the second half, besides scoring some goals?
Like I said, in order to score some goals, they really need to get a little off-syncing
to get on pace with the passing, moving the ball up the field, just try to get a little
bit more of a, it seems like they're making short passes trying to get it out, I would
like to see them open up the game a little bit more, try to stretch the field, especially
with their advantage in terms of fresh body.
They've kind of gone away from the whole possession game that they had there in the first 15 minutes
or so in the first half, after the two quick goals, they've just kind of lost what they
had going on.
And all Elon really needs to do is just keep a little possession, just keep on kicking
the ball forward and just keep wasting time and they'll come out of this game with the
big win.
And a surprise to win that is, after NC State has beat them 4-0 already both in this year.
Here's Wright now, Rice now with the ball, back out to Wright, kind of go to Skyler Dove,
Dove is going to be called off sides, good job by Elon's back line right there, Ors
all sides, and somehow some way we've stayed away from that without any rain, I felt like
I maybe felt a couple drops here and there, but it hasn't turned into anything yet, kind
of regretting not bringing a jacket, especially if we're doing that, that late game later,
it's going to turn out to be a very poor decision on our part, would be the first one by me.
Throw in for Elon, about five minutes here, took the second half, and if they get another
goal here, things could get a little interesting, as that one goes right to the goalkeeper and
that was a big opportunity for Elon, the goalkeeper was not surprised by that, as Garnier can't
quite get to the end of that one, it's a side netting, NC State has, you know, throughout
the end of that second half and now here has had good chances to get a goal, get back into
this game, they just haven't been able to finish.
Just by Alago goes to the Elon Attackman, it is well to keep it on there on the far
side before the Seraphina gets to it, NC State will regroup now, try to play a little possession
here, Alago with tons of space ahead, going to go to Dove, the good ball, however the
goalkeeper will be right there for that one, and their big boot to right, trying to play
that one forward, that's a good job by Elon right there, wow, that was another close one.
Bruno having to talk to the ref, I think he thought he got held right there.
So 2-0, Elon over NC State and here's a chance for Rice, good job by Rice to go forward and
that's going to be the first goal of the game for NC State, Daniel Rice with a beautiful
move and now, NC State is back into this game, yeah Rice, really a big momentum booster
you would think for the pack there, makes that great move to cut open, you know he's
dribbling that in, great to keep control of the ball, just kind of wheel its way into
the net there and NC State has cut this deficit half, we'll look to draw even here.
We'll see now if that, with that goal, if NC State can kind of get their groove and momentum
back here, Elon looks a little out of sorts there after that goal, can't play possession
as much as they're playing there now, here's Alegud, this here, Fino, playing back to Bruno,
here side to Richard Rice, back to Rice in the middle, Alegud now, holds, make out to
Rice, Rice trying to go in the middle there, that ball will roll right into your living
room, it was a good touch by you right there, I do what I can, you can look at any phase
at all by that touch, here's right now once again, Alegud, back to Bruno, far side to
Rice, here's Ingo, Alegud now, good touch by Elon, trying to take a shot right there and
that was no problem for the goalkeeper, Richard Hall, shouting out his commands to his team,
usually plays at least one half of goalkeeper, but with the round robin turn out, I'm sure
we'll see him in the later stages if NC State can get there, here's right now, here's
right now, Bruno, playing to Twit and Hawken so close to getting to that one, however Elon
will regain possession, the big boot forward, right will clear, Bruno now, better possession
here from the Wolfpack, Elon player down, that's not a good sign, as they are already
limited enough as it is, only 10 players on the field, you really would hate to see them
go down to 9, big boot forward and Elon just telling his team to reset the back, the State
playing out wide, good touch there by Elon, the institution about to come in, looks like
the Rar will come back into the game at the next whistle, Hawken off sides, Elon still
holding their one goal lead, barely but they're still holding it, looks like we might have
another shift of weather coming in, got like a little blue sky hole in the middle of this
one and then another dark bank coming in behind, surprised we didn't get any rain from that
first one but got to see if I can go find a jacket here in a second, this is very human
earlier, there's a foul on Dove, looks like Elon will just waste time here and get everybody
into the box, not a good free kick, however he regains possession now, there's a chance
for NC State to go forward, I am also now feeling the raindrops that you're speaking of.
I mean I was kind of surprised how they weren't rain clouds as it was but a couple raindrops
isn't going to stop this game from finishing out here, if we do have a delay later on that
will probably most likely push back the women's game to a later time and that could just kind
of screw up the whole racketing for this round robin tournament, there's a good turn there
by Elon, taking their time once again, has a good ball forward, looks like it's going
to be a corner kick, wind starting to pick up here, Elon corner kick, got opportunity
there, just goes far left, about 10 minutes left to go here in this contest, your NC State
will pack in the Elon Phoenix with the 2-1 lead here, as you say trying to get something
to go here on office to tie the game but they've just kind of been out of sync after the first
10 minutes or so, looks like their usual self, the high octane offense, dove can't quite get
to that one, it's going to be a wolf pack throw in now, good turn there by Daniel Rice
pointing to the middle, nobody there, in go now, trying to go, here's Twit and that's
deflected, Elon gets out of that one barely, controls their 2-1 lead, about three or so
opportunities there for NC State, that's going to be a foul on Elon, going to be a free kick
for NC State, let's see if they go quick here, take some time to get everybody in the
box, looks like Aiden Allagut will take the free kick, their specialist at this, Allagut
playing it in, it's a low one and they're going to have a, I believe a handball by Elon
and NC State will have a chance here to tie things out with the PK, looks like Jeremy
Twit will take it here for the wolf pack, this is a big opportunity for NC State to
tie things up here, Twit waiting for the whistle, there it is and that's going to be a goal
for NC State, two all now between Elon, Phoenix and NC State after being down 2-0, NC State
has crawled their way back into this one to tie things up, for Elon that's just got
to be so deflating you had 2-0 lead then you gave one up and then you gave one up on a
handball and you just hate to give up those kind of goals with a lead, now with the momentum
shifting NC State's way we'll see if they can maybe get another goal here to get the
3 points, here's Elon now going forward, good job by Ingo, Elon throwing right bias
here, the big throw in, could save there on the far side to keep that in for Elon, good
triple team by NC State, Gerard trying to get to it, outmuscled, here's Rice in the
middle, going to try to play it far right to Dove and see if Dove can get to it and he
can, trying to play into the middle of the box, there's Gerard, can't quite get on it
for NC State, about 7 or so minutes to go here, could be a throw here, good job by Ingo
could be a throw in for Elon, trying to go far, all big in the throw in, Elon can sense
NC State with the momentum here, here's Gerard, good footwork, can't quite get through however,
coming in as little comes back in as well as Ben Weathers, Twit will exit as well as
Skyler Dove for NC State, here's Elon, trying to go his way through, fancy footwork there
by number 7 for Elon, there's Gonye, out to the far side to Gerard, Gerard now with
the ball, trying to take a stab at it, it's a little low one to the goalkeeper, here's
Richard Wright, back to Bruno in the middle, going to go to Gerard on the run, keeper all
over that one, another high boot pass midfield, good hustle by Ben, the defied position on
that one, just step by Gerard, Weathers tripped him once again, this time he's going to be
called for the foul, another good opportunity for Elon here on the free kick, trying to
get everybody in the box here, they have a lot of tall players, so this could be a good
opportunity for the Phoenix, low one, going to be really there for Elon, going to be kicked
out by a little, Harry Hawke on the sidelines, looking to come in at the next whistle, good
throw in, good step by Bruno, here's a chance for NC State to go forward, here's Weathers,
back out to Gagnier, how wide to Ingo, Ingo cuts to the middle, let's go back to Gagnier,
can't quite get it to him, kicked out a bounce by NC.
That one nearly goes all the way over the second wall into the next field, about two
minutes or so here in this game, NC State all tied up with Elon here after being down
2-0 in the early going in the first half, they've called their way back into this match, the
chance to sneak away with the win here, here's Bruno now, how wide to Ingo, go back how wide
to Hawke him, Hawke trying to play one in the middle there, and that's going to take
it to a flexion, going to be a corner kick I believe for NC State now, Hawke him will
take it, good punch out by the Phoenix goalkeeper, another throw in here for NC State, right
will take it, big one in, and there the goalkeeper is there, to corral that one and that's a
big stop by the Phoenix, Ingo now with the header, here's Bruno, playing up to Weathers,
for it to riot on the far side, right tries to play to somebody and there's nobody there
and that's going to be a free kick as Harry Hawke goes right into the Phoenix goalkeeper,
looks to be okay however, big move forward by the goalkeeper, here's Gerard now, not
much time left here for NC State to get the W, Bruno take the forward big, almost collision
between two players, going to be a header off Izzy State, Elon's ball, here's
Bonnie now, in the middle Gerard, goalkeeper once again there for it, you see any way NC
State can get a last minute goal, I said just try to get that ball moving, stretch that
deal, get it behind what's got to be some tired defenders, try to pick up an open chance here,
Elon with the ball now, oh it almost looks like, fine, they're like Elon, last person,
took it away here, can't be much longer here in this match, the ball to Hawke in this is
going to go a little far ahead of them, ball goes over the head of Ingo, here's Wright,
back to Wright, middle to Bruno, far aside to Bonnie, and I can touch there by James
how he controls the ball back to Elon now, referee takes a look at his watch, let it
look, ball is going to go out of bounds, and that's going to be the match to all NC State
over first Elon, and even with the 2-2 draw, can you be happy with that, I mean you were
coming into this game, the heavy favorites, you faced this team already twice this year
and beat them 4-0 both times, they don't have enough players, and you draw them, yeah I
mean I guess the thing to think about is, NC State gets off to that slow start, a great
job to even come in here in this second half, get a couple goals, fight back for that draw,
but as you said you're coming in here, you're the heavy favorite, you've got more fresh
bodies, why did you draw in the first half, or why were you off to a slow start down?
