Should be a good game. Army is very good in the middle of the field. They also have difference makers at midfield defense and attack.
Serious questions:
1. Would they continue play if it was snowing heavily?
2. If so, do they use an orange ball?
Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules, but this game reminded me to raise awareness of one of my favorite lacrosse related charity organizations. It's Shootout for Soldiers. The do lacrosse events to raise money to support veterans. As ex-Army and a lacrosse fan, it's of course one of my favorite organizations.

Home - Shootout for Soldiers
Shootout for Soldiers is a 24 hour lacrosse event benefiting American veterans. The event is fun. It’s not a tournament or about recruiting. The event is all about supporting those who serve our country.shootoutforsoldiers.com
Last year, my son and I went to the event on Long Island. They had a game of veterans vs first responders then the 2nd game of NYPD vs FDNY. Was awesome. Vets out there on the field with prosthetic limbs giving the first responders a run for their money (told my son, next time I say I'm too tired for the gym, going to think of the vet out there sprinting up and down the field on a prosthetic leg).
Also, the NYPD lacrosse team is basically a pro-team. Easily 40 deep and they destroyed the FDNY.
Army is really pressing out on us
Is Pike coaching lacrosse now too?We down 2-0 and have won every faceoff. Ball movement and player movement is horrid. We get no cutters and everyone stands around watching the guy with the ball. It’s all so easy to guard. Army is pressing out because they know we aren’t going to take advantage of the space that creates.

Everybody has addressed the offense. Can somebody give an analysis on those last three Army goals?
