So we essentially played two of the top four teams in the country this year.

It would probably be more precise to say that Mason lost to 2 of the Final Four teams, 3-0 at UVA during the regular season and 1-0 at New Mexico in the 2nd round of the NCAA men's soccer tournament.

I wasn't looking for precise.

I could also say it like this: the men's soccer team lost three games this season all to top 25 teams. Not a bad season at all.

With Kraus minding the net, we will be in every game regardless of the opponent. The question is with the graduation of some very important players, will the team have enough talent and experience to get back to the postseason?
