This game should be complete domination

LFG Knights!

This game should be complete domination

Although it includes one interesting test everyone should follow. Looks like they have a pretty good FOGO. Shouldn't make a difference in this game but give a clue about the future.

Other games 2nd qtr. :

Penn St. 8
Lafayette 2
Ament 3-2

[Caliknight]

Shooting is on point so far. Team looks fast. Liking the D I am seeing from our middies. That is a huge key for us to play the way we want to.

7-3 after 1. Faceoffs are ok. Not great, not bad. probably 5050. Offense looks like the should score every time they touch the ball. Just so many weapons out there. Impressed on D with our perceived O middies and Felix at close. He's a beast.

Groundballs we are very active. Our athleticism really shows in the middle of the field.

 

[gef21]

We are so much more athletic. Pretty crazy at how many threats we have to score goals.

I wanted to get over today but got stuck at home with sick kids.

 

[DowntownT_Brown]

How does our D and goalie look, are the three goals a surprise?

 

[Caliknight]

Goalie play is serviceable. He's made the saves he should, maybe let one in he shouldn't, and saved one that probably should have been a goal.

I have no idea how athletic this Quinnipiac team is but they are getting absolutely manhandled all over the field by our squad. We play so many guys that are threats.

 

[Caliknight]

Oh man, Gally getting his knee crunched after the score. That didn't look good.

 

[DowntownT_Brown]

Oh jeez, no injuries this early

 

[Caliknight]

15-5. I know there is a ton of game left but we can't get guys injured. Style points are important but man, we don't want to get guys hurt.

Glamour scores turn heads though.

 

[Caliknight]

Oh jeez, no injuries this early

Hope he's ok. Ross Scott has come in for him and scored.

16-5

lots of games before we see them and every one matters.

The challenge ahead

Ament 4-6
O'Keefe 6-1

They are a handful. A dynamic duo. Our guys are going to have some gaudy stats after this one too.

 

[Caliknight]

17-7 in the 4th. Next 3 at attack are in.

 

[Caliknight]

20-9 final. Assuming Gallagher is ok, it was as good as you could have gotten. Goalie play looked stronger as the day went on, as did faceoffs. We are very fast and athletic. Even more than I thought I would be, though Fam gave a great heads up.

We play a lot of guys, which you have to with this style.

Good win. On to St. John's who will be a step up in comp.

 

[RUTrack94]

Great start ... dominating when expected ... next up the Johnnies

 

[Caliknight]

Nice to see us back to our run and gun ways. We are at our best when playing our ball.

 

[DowntownT_Brown]

Nice, thanks for the recap!!

 

[mdk01]

Couple of more interesting scores:

Air Force 14
Duke 13

Utah 16
Bellermine 10

 

[Caliknight]

Wow. That Duke score is shocking. They are notorious slow starters

 

[rufamily]

Some of those score are crazy

 

[gef21]

Wow. That Duke score is shocking. They are notorious slow starters

They can lose 5 games and will still get into the tournament.

 

[Rutgers83]

Sounds like a great start. Looking forward to warmer weather and tailgating.

 

[rufamily]

Good start, lots of goal scorer’s
Faceoff’s were ok
Goalie play was what I thought. Kid is very good low
This game marked the return of the rope unit as a force as all three of them scored I. The first quarter and the two LSM’s were all over the field and the wings

 

[ecojew]

Wow. That Duke score is shocking. They are notorious slow starters

It's nice to see Duke lose at anything!

AF with an impressive win. Playing the academies always scares me whether it's football or crosse.

After last year's scare vs SJU, I want to see us thrash them next week.

 

[Golfer2019]

34 will be fine...was with him after the game this evening and he's moving fine. Doesn't seem to be concerned

Nice to start the year with a solid win. 1-0

The competition will get better...

St John's is on the clock

Good seeing you today @rufamily

 

[Golfer2019]

It's nice to see Duke lose at anything!

Correct!

 

[jreinsdorf]

The Duke loss was fun to watch. They jumped on AF early with i believe a 5-0 start and they dominated FOs yet still AF hung around

Always good to see you as well. Looking forward to seeing your son have a break out season.
They scored 20 goals yesterday and I still believe that they can be better offensively. It was nice to see some of the freshman get goals but we all know that when push comes to shove we all know who will be on the field
