Jason Shepherd has a general good flow for play-by-play, but he sure doesn't
know our team well. He was frequently just saying the wrong player of ours as the one being involved in a particular play. I know it can be tough from a distance to pick out who is a who - a lot of our players look alike from a distance. But still for someone who is around our team a lot, I expect more out of him.

Also the ESPN+ broadcast was sloppy that they couldn't even bother to get an updated starting lineup? At the start of match they showed the starting lineup graphic with Tara Warner starting at defense and Summers at forward, and I was perplexed and then looking around after kickoff I could see Summers back at defense. So they were too lazy to update their starting lineup from some weeks ago. I don't know if Shepherd and the female announcer could see the graphic. I'd think it'd be nice to let them see it and it seems like they ought to recognize that Warner is out for the season and then they could at least verbally correct the lineup.

And then during match they did a graphic promotion for BYU-Iowa St. soccer match this Saturday. But that is on Monday, not Saturday.
