So far this season Tracy Joyner's squad is 2-3-1 after a 2-0 loss at home Sunday to Grand Canyon. They've played stellar defense and attacked relentlessly but the shots haven't found the net with consistency.

After the loss to GCU Joyner said, "… I felt bad because I thought our second-half effort was unbelievable. We looked really, really good and generated a lot of chances. But I've said I feel like now in every postgame interview, it's really hard to score goals. And that couldn't be more of a clear example."
