No score in OT #2, and the Rockets come away with a 1-1 tie.

Gutsy performance by the Rockets. BSU was much, much faster and put pressure on the Rockets all day long.

This Rockets team plays back in a defensive shell much of the time. That can work, but when you allow 21 shots, like today it's tough to keep the ball out of the net for 90 ... or 110 minutes. Also, if you play that way, you have to be calm and no turn the ball over, but the Rockets have a tendency to panic and give away the ball, even when they have some time to make a better play. Rocket keeper Perrin had an outstanding game. Hanna Scafaria provided some really good offense at times, but unfortunately there aren't many other players up front to help. Coming away with a win and a tie on the opening weekend is good, but Miami and BSU are not the upper echelon teams of the MAC. It will be interesting to see if the Rockets can continue to improve and get some wins against the better teams.
