Men’s Lacrosse Travels to No. 20 Lehigh For Saturday’s Opener

[LaxDadd]

First game of the year! Weather is 35 degrees and sunny, 15-25 mph winds. With stronger gusts expected.

FanDuel has Rutgers -1.5. Excited to see what we look like this year.

Interesting quote from Coach Brecht's email this morning:

"Practices this week have been either slanted heavily towards the defensive side or the offensive side, not much balance of power……..We are either going to be fun to watch on Saturday or make you pull your hair out!"

Let's hope it's the former and not the latter.

Weather favors their style. They are going to play zone and try and make it a slugfest

We need to start fast and win face offs to get them playing how they don’t want to.

2-1 Rutgers.

 

[Local Shill]

4-2 RU. The ESPN+ broadcast sucks. Single shaky camera. No replays. Brutal.

 

[mdk01]

4-2

 

[jreinsdorf]

Thanks for the updates!

4-2 RU. The ESPN+ broadcast sucks. Single shaky camera. No replays. Brutal.

The camera is really rough lol. But it’s real lacrosse finally. Long off season.

4-3 RU after 1.

 

[Caliknight]

We’ve had some sloppy turnovers but we are owning the middle of the field. We are much more athletic

 

[mdk01]

A little sloppy by both teams but both are also aggressive.

 

[Caliknight]

Ugh another penalty

 

[Gavin1026]

Lehigh’s emo is not very good. No movement so our defense didn’t even need to rotate

 

[mdk01]

No shot clock on the broadcast is a pain in the ass.

 

[Caliknight]

Some real sloppy play

 

[biochemist01]

Yes, the production on this broadcast sucks. Real bad camera angle, no replays, no shot clock, screen game clock often frozen. Great job ESPN.

 

[Caliknight]

Wow Colin Kelly with a bomb

 

[LaxDadd]

Snipe by Kelly! Great to see him out there

 

[Caliknight]

Yes, the production on this broadcast sucks. Real bad camera angle, no replays, no shot clock, screen game clock often frozen. Great job ESPN.

Giving me a headache watching this

 

[Caliknight]

Wow Lehigh 3-9’pn clears and we’ve turned them over 11x already

 

[mdk01]

Occasional replays.

Faceoffs need to improve.

Aiello seeing a lot of time as a true freshman

 

[Clearscreen25]

Kelly has a cannon. 6-4 RU leads with 4:00 left in the 2nd

 

[mdk01]

Duke, Cuse, Maryland cruising. Loyola-GT tight. Utah up 2 over Ohio St

 

[Clearscreen25]

RU up 6-4 at the half. RU suffocating Lehigh on their clears.

 

[mdk01]

Score one for the Princeton kid.

 

[mdk01]

Pressure starting to take a toll on Lehigh

 

[bigmatt718]

Lehigh's goalie is the only reason we aren't blowing them out completely at this point.

 

[Caliknight]

We are completely owning the middle of the field.

Princeton xfer Jungkerkes made an incredible play.

 

[Caliknight]

We are so sloppy. I’m not sure what’s the weather and what’s not

 

[Caliknight]

One thing I would say. When people quote Inside Lacrosee recruiting rankings look at this game.

They have Lehigh with a significant recruiting ranking advantage.

You don’t need to know lacrosse to see that’s not remotely true

 

[Caliknight]

8-5 Lehigh gets one

 

[bigmatt718]

Gotta get a couple shots past their goalie and ice this thing.

 

[Clearscreen25]

8-5 Ru after 3

 

[Caliknight]

Ugh. Turnover leads to a Lehigh goal. 8-6

Offense has gone stale.

Brian is going to pull his hair out with these turnovers. That’s a simple transition pass. Can’t happen at this level

 

[LaxDadd]

Great assist by JJ

 

[Caliknight]

Wow ball movement exceptional and Murphy a great finish
