Men’s Lacrosse Hosted LIU in Home Opener Tuesday - First game at SHI Stadium this year
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Yeah it's great that their three goals are two rebounds and one man up, no clean man on man wins.
As much as I like Stoller I think we should get some PT for one of our backup keepers.
Looked like we played the entire roster today. Lotta different guys were getting runs early.
2 of their goals were junk out front. To hold them to 1 legit goal is pretty special, I don't care who you are playing.
Ball and player movement is much better. I"d like to see the guys use the picks a little more consistently but that's for tomorrow. This was a nice win. Turnovers were kept to a minimum and our shooting was much better.
Impressed with our fogos, which was another area of concern to start the season. I'm not ready to call them a strength just yet but we aren't going to get killed in that department by anyone I wouldn't think.

Defense was outstanding. Giving up 2 garbage goals and one on man down is impressive regardless of level of competition.
Fogos looked good. I did not have high expectations for the position heading into the season so anything better than 40% is a win in my book. If it turns into a strength that would be a nice unexpected boost.
Better ball movement and some nice open looks on the doorstep. #88 is the complete package. He is already an elite feeder at the midfield position which is going to make him so difficult to defend.
Overall I think we got everything we could have hoped for out of this game. Fairly clean game, minimal turnovers, successful clearing, improved shooting percentage, got to rotate in a lot of players, solid PT for some younger / less experienced players we are going to need to count on as the season goes on and it appears we escaped injury free hopefully.

Watched some of that game. Hopkins has some good players but they aren't loaded. That game is gettable. We need to keep developing though. We will get to them when we get to them.
I posted this in another thread about LIU.
It should be noted that that LIU won 10 games last year and lost in their conference championship. They beat some decent teams along the way. Not B1G caliber but decent nonetheless.
They returned a lot from last season. I wouldn't be shocked if they compete for their new conference championship again, which is the NEC

I had Hopkins giving 2.5. Thought I was gold when the line went to 4 pregame and Hop looked to be taking over up 4.
I wouldn't bet favorites during midweek games. They can often be much closer than anticipated. To Hopkins specifically, they were coming off a road trip to Denver. Recovery day Sunday and a light practice Monday then the game. That's a tall order.
Good for them though, they to through it 2-0. No one likes rooting for Hopkins but the higher they are ranked when we play them the better.

Yeah those reasons gave me pause but I liked the fact that the travel to Towson was in their backyard and I fully expected the offense to be way more tested and crisper than Towsend who was playing in their first game. Also, with all due respect to Towsend, I just did not think they would stay within 3 against one of the better Big Ten programs for all 4 quarters. Maryland screwed me too against Richmond when MD was absolutely suffocating Richmond then put their twos in and Richmond controlled the 4th quarter with a backdoor cover. I was one failed MD clear with 45 seconds left from covering then MD decided to let the only kid on Richmond to sniff the goal all day get his hat trick.
Lehigh to bounce back -3.5 to Fairfield should be interesting.
Cuse -12 at home sounds like a lot until you realize they will boat race VT.

Caught a little of both games. Lehigh was turning the ball over and Syracuse didn’t look good, but it was the fourth quarter so maybe they were mailing it in.
Spallina with his usual big game against the less thans. Can he do it when it counts?

Yeah I laid off both of those thankfully. Not sure why either cause I did like em. Have yet to look at lines today.
