Despite the positives, two of the Crimson's stars have hit the disabled list.
Junior midfielder T.J. Carella fell ill last weekend, and is questionable for today's game.
Fellow junior midfielder Kevin Silva is recovering from severe injuries to his leg incurred last weekend.
Furthermore, because this is only the second game in which the freshmen will play, the players are still getting used to each other.
"The starting 11 will still be feeling each other out," Kohler said.

Nevertheless, the team is optimistic and realizes the importance of this game.
"Last weekend, the guys came together, and we saw we could play with anyone in the country," Vrionis said. "We're excited about what can happen the rest of the way."
