Posted this in the Albany/Holy Cross general thread but figured it deserved its own thread. Interesting comments from a player whose defense was as bad or worse then SU's last year.
UAlbany long stick midfielder Elijah Gash, a graduate student, and his teammates have watched that game.
"It was good to watch and I was excited that they did play Vermont because we've played them a lot these past couple of years," Gash said. "It did give me a frame of reference, but I mean it's just another game. (Syracuse) scored seven goals, we've scored none so far, so we've just got to do what we do."
Gash said UAlbany should have an experience advantage over Syracuse.
"They're very, very young," he said. "A lot of, I feel like, immaturity at times. They don't really know how to play as a team yet. They hustle and they hit. They're gritty. That's what I did notice about them. They're very, very fast on offense. They'll throw all these type of (behind the back) passes. They're very flashy but they do want theirs and so I feel if we play as a team, stick together and play team defense, we're going to be able to shut their guys down."
