The TCU soccer team was held scoreless in its season opener Friday night, a 1-0 loss to the Rice Owls, at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium.Head coach Dan Abdalla said the team, which includes eight freshman as well as six seniors, played tentatively the entire match and didn't take advantage of its scoring chances.
"For a young group as we have, they've got to recognize that you can't just sit back," Abdalla said. "And the older players need to do a better job at giving them instruction and helping them out and being active and involved themselves."
