No. 14 Rutgers Men’s Lacrosse Heads to Stony Brook
- Thread starter Caliknight
- Start date
That’s a wrap. Took a nice step today. Lots to work on but we got better after last week. Need to take another step with Army.
Away wins are always great.
Away wins are always great.
To clarify, both FOGOs doing great. But a number of times they have been stripped after gaining possession. I look to the wings when that happens.
Other scores of note:
Lehigh over Fairfield, 8-7
Hopkins over G’town, 11-9
Navy over Hofstra, 16-8
Maryland over Loyola, 11-4
Virginia over Michigan, 19-11
PSU over Villanova, 18-10
***edit***
UMass goal initially waived off with UMass man up for :30. Call overturned, UMass goal counts Army and UMass tied, 11-11 just under 2 min remaining. Even strength.

Our defense has a lot of work to do. But everyone has something to work on. Onto the next one
Good W for RU. SB on the road is a solid win…
Tough day in College Park 😡
Terps were on point today…especially defensively, in the cage, and at the FO dot…
Gotta stick to my rules…don’t over-react either way in the first 3-4 weeks…after you get 4-5 games in, you start to get a feel for what you are…

Saw part of that and the difference was summed up with that sentence. I know Wierman is about as good as you'll see, but that's 2 in a row with substandard faceoffs. They go 50% on faceoffs and they can hang with anyone
A little misleading though. We won a bunch and they intimately retained possession. That’s fixable though.
I’m very impressed with what the team is doing. We’ve essentially we’ve had to essentially revamp our entire strategy in a week due to the injuries. Instead of playing fast, we are slowing it down and playing much more conservatively on offense. Hats off to the staff and team for being so malleable.

That was Army vs UMASS. I commented earlier about Rutgers needing better play from their wings on faceoffs. And the Army stat reinforces that.
The less dominant the FOGOs are, and when your opponent rang up 72% their last week against a non-cupcake opponent that's clearly a possibility, the greater the opportunity for the wings to contribute.
But you didn't see the game so how you can comment as to how good or not good our wing play was? You're basing that off of Army's stats?
Because Sidearm game tracker documented 3-4 face offs where the RU FOGO won the face off and the turned the ball over 3- 8 seconds later. Could it be the SB FOGO? Possible but not likely. Are the game tracker stats totally accurate? Not perfect, but not that far off. Most likely explananation SB wing play.
It has nothing to do with Army. Those stats show next week will be a challenge.
When a fogo turns the ball over that's not on the wings. That's on the fogo. Army is always a challenge. Next week will be no exception.
