Well, that tells you what they need to work on.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
I worried about that too. They seem to tighten up late against BC. Definitely at least a bit mental at this point.
Yeah i dont know the fix for it either. Either we need different captains or different game approach mentally. Its not one or two girls either. They all waited for something bad to happen instead of digging down and making something happen.
How would they win 2 in a row when they got blown out in the final last year
Sure, sports psychology can be very helpful, witness our goalie. But, practicing an offense all week and then not playing it is not a matter of psychology. Treanor should have called a time out and kicked a$$.
You make valid points and I can completely understand your point of view. The factor that can’t be left out nor can it be measured or predicted is the human factor. These are young women playing in high stress environments how they respond to the conditions has and will vary immensely which is why you have days like last Friday where they looked unbeatable until the second half of Sunday’s game. Syracuse is not the only team that has this happen look at BC in the final four last year beat Syracuse in the FF4 by a goal then gets blown off the field Sunday in the finals by Northwestern
A few late thoughts. The team's offense is blessed with extremely gifted and talented players who excel in isolation. Unfortunately, it all too often leads to poor clock management with negative results. When one can't free up there's a pass to another, then another, and another, all basically looking to do the same thing. BC's defense is relentless and determined (and more than happy) to keep things moving around the perimeter.
