Men’s Lacrosse Headed to No. 12 Army Saturday

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.

And FOGO

Best UMass 16-9 last week. UMass destroyed Quinippiac 19-5 this afternoon.
 
Serious questions:

1. Would they continue play if it was snowing heavily?

2. If so, do they use an orange ball?

No guarantee, but the Penn - Dartmouth game last March was played in Hanover even though 5 inches came down during the game. Total storm was 10. Turf field they plowed totally before the game and at halftime with a truck. Shovelled the sidelines, goals and faceoff X during timeouts. Things got interesting late in the 2nd almost 3 inches on snow on the field. Orange ball iirc.
 
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.


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.

Circa 2004-2005 Navy did an Army-Navy alumni fundraiser at their stadium. The captain of either the 2000 or 2001 Army lax team had lost a leg below the knee in Afghanistan and was put there playing on a prosthetic leg. Amazing.
 
Cardin is incredible but the one area he needs to work on is rebounds.

Offense anemic. We don’t work for anything inside at all. Getting shots is a struggle and they are all 15 yards out which their goalie is eating up.

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.

And this has all been discussed for years. Alumni haven’t brought this to Brian’s attention?

I really don't see how we can generate any offense...

As a side note the renovation project of the historic stadium looks like it will be great.

Pretty impressive naming opportunities below.

Makes you wonder if Rutgers was ever offered naming rights for any of the entrance gates at SHI....

This looks really bad. I’d given them the benefit if it was a FO or goalie issue. But this is just awful on offense. Even missing open shots in front of the goal.
 
Everybody has addressed the offense. Can somebody give an analysis on those last three Army goals?
 
And this has all been discussed for years. Alumni haven’t brought this to Brian’s attention?

It's been two years. Our offense up until 22 was often very good.

Seremet the OC needs to go. He has an offense that relies entirely on guys running by their guys and plays two guys in Kulas and Kelly who are just pure shooters at attack. It completely bogs down the offense even if that did work. We get no cutters, ball movement is awful, and guys just stand around and watch. It all makes us incredibly easy to guard. A team as savvy as Army on D will eat this for breakfast.

Worst part is our D is legit, we have guys in the middle of the field, and our faceoffs are strong.

This is how bad our offense is- we won every faceoff and are still down 6-1. If we had a pulse on offense we'd be winning this game.

It's not the players. There is simply no offensive scheme outside of fast breaks.

I only remember two by one was a really good shot hands free and the other was the worst type of penalty. It was an offsides I think and Stoller had the ball right in the middle of our zone. You have to drop the ball when or it's a penalty. Army astutely picked it up and it was an immediate 3 on 1 for a dunk.
