This is a different team on the road. Still very good and competitive, but not the same. We nudge into the "Elite" category at home, but failed to really produce a top tier win on the road (Towson being the only good one, but the Tigers are not in the top echelon this year imo).
Thankfully...
PSU, UMD, tOSU are in at this point... JHU/RU are on the fence. Both ned either a win this coming weekend (against UMD/tOSU respectively) or a run through the B1G tournament. Hop played a brutal schedule but dropped a ton of games while RU doesn't have the dearth of quality wins after laying...
Unreal win. Just pure guts. To come storming back and then hold off a late Maryland push. This team is a true contender an a year with no clear elite team. We sit comfortably now in first place and are essentially a lock to not only make both tournaments, but be a seed in the NCAA (and the...
I blew my mind when Michigan snuck into the polls after racking up wins against glorified JV squads in the lower parts of D1 lacrosse... just so short-sighted. They'll finish dead last in the conference again, blown out by everyone.
Good. The offense is back clicking again. Now we've got to win one of the next two against UMD/RU and we can breathe easy knowing we made both tournaments... or win both and take the whole f-ing conference.
Consider the ship righted. Michigan next week is another must-win (mostly cause everyone in the league has to beat them to even sniff the B1G tournament). But this weekend was a good one for us. UMD beat PSU so that puts us right back int he conversation considering we get the Terps at home...
I'm a tad worried about our turnovers. PSU forced A LOT of them and we were beat pretty heavily in the category of non-FO GBs. That cannot happen against Hop or we will dig ourselves a hole. We need to jump on them early, set the tone of the game, and keep the foot on the gas. Carey wasn't...
WE LOOK LIKE GARBAGE. Coughing the ball out like crazy, bad shots, can't clear.... we are completely outshooting them and dominating the faceoff X and we are losing. Blch.
THIS imo is what is holding us back as a program. It hurts recruiting, the national image, and the fan support of the program at large. The announcers referenced it several times during the UMD game, which gives the rumor far more smoke than it ever has. Would be a smart Phase 3 in the...
I think if we can beat Michigan and Hops we will be fine for the NCAA. It would be a disappointing conference season, but our OOC Ws over Towson & Denver and the total lack of a "Bad" loss on our resume will be enough to push us in. Pick up another win over PSU/UMD/RU and it's a no brainer...
How can I put this... If there was a push, there should have been a flag. There was no flag, so I assume no push. ND player left his feet as he shot and landed in the crease. You can look up the ruling from there.
Ugh...
That was a pretty miserable quarter. Lost all composure after the 2nd and are, quite frankly, kinda lucky to still be in this. Zero confidence on the dodges. Can't free hands for the rips from outside (or they don't trust their shots to beat the keep...)
It looks like we've settled in. ND got some goals off of RIDICULOUS angles... that will even out as the game progresses. Gotta shut down transition and continue make our shots count. We got outshot last quarter but won it 4-3, that bodes well.
What I am watching for today...
1) Stability between the pipes: Carey put together his best match to date last week. We need that consistency to deal with he ND offense.
2) EMO: We were pretty much lethal man-up against Denver. ND should be better defensively, so we need to continue to get...
