Preseason Outlook for Sewanee Men's Soccer 2023 Season

Previous Season Review

The 2022 season was a promising one for Sewanee Men's Soccer, finishing with an overall record of 13-4 and a conference record of 5-2. The team's home performance was particularly strong, going unbeaten with a 9-0 record. However, they were more inconsistent on the road, finishing 4-3 in away matches. Ending the season on a losing streak of 2, there's a feeling of unfinished business as the squad looks to the new season.

Key Players to Watch

Trevor Reichman: With 9 goals and 1 assist in the 2022 season, Reichman was the top offensive player. His continued performance will be crucial for the team's success.
Tyler Cozzie: Tyler's 5 goals and 3 assists were significant contributions to the team's overall performance, and he will likely be a key player again this season.
Goalkeepers Sam Harwell and Nathan Vanhoeve: Both goalkeepers had playtime in 2022, and their performances between the posts will be vital in maintaining a strong defensive line.
New Additions
Several freshmen are joining the team, including Max Porter, Luke Hunter, Harper Satterfield, Charlie Bramlett, Eli Bastiaansen, Landon Mandrik, Stokes McConnell, Judson Denney, and Jimmy Aglikin. Their integration into the team and contributions could provide new energy and depth to the squad.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

Home Performance: The unbeaten home record from last season gives the team a psychological advantage when playing on their turf.
Offensive Variety: Multiple players contributing to goals and assists means the team doesn't rely on just one or two key players, which can be a significant advantage.

Weaknesses:

Away Performance: The inconsistency in away matches could be a concern, and the team will need to address this to be real contenders.
Finishing Games: The loss in the last game of the season might indicate issues in closing out critical matches.

If I understand this correctly, you simply asked Chat GPT-4 to write a season preview and predictions?  I'm not sure if the predictions offer much value - they are predicted to have virtually the same record as last year, which makes sense because teams mostly have the same opponents, with some variation in the names, but not the quality, of non-conference opponents.  The more interesting takeaway from this, however, is that it basically reads like a lot of schools' season previews (although they don't make record predictions), which isn't surprising (since that's where AI gets the form template), but does suggest that the school communications people could be replaced by AI!

One clarification, though.  It doesn't look like Sewanee is playing Wash U and certainly not twice in the season.  I assume it means Washington & Lee, but they aren't playing them twice.  So, the fact that it is doing home and away in the analysis suggests something went awry in the input.

Overall, the blend of youth, experience, and tactical adjustments could shape a promising season, provided the team can translate their home form into away games.

FYI, Simple Coach did an interview with Sewanee's coach earlier this year. It was great info about his program.

In it he mentioned they have 11 incoming freshmen (their biggest class ever) and you only listed 9 additions. He also said they have two transfers as well.
