Checking In From The College Cup
Pete Caringi joined the Scott Garceau Show with Jeremy Conn and Jason La Canfora to preview his teams match-up against the Louisville Cardinals. The Retrievers have been playing the underdog role after upsetting a Wake Forest program that was expected to win. They then followed that victory up by knocking out a big brother program of sorts in the Maryland Terrapins to advance to the third round of the NCAA tournament. First thing Scott asked coach about was to talk about what it was like to go to College Park and upset a storied Terps program. "We were going into the game a little physically tired, because obviously they were rested. So I don't think we played as well as we could in the first half… We had a great second half and became a little more comfortable and confident as the game went along."
With the short travel from Catonsville to College Park, a lot of fans made the trip down to Maryland. Scott asked Coach Caringi what it was like to have the fan base travel with the team. "It was a lot Scott. It was a great atmosphere. Maryland is always great, you know it's a great atmosphere down there and we had a lot of UMBC fans. A lot of guys from the Baltimore area, a lot of students, alumni and old soccer players that played with me, just the soccer community and it was a great, great reaction that's for sure."
