I haven't heard anything about the tarheels all fall.  Chris Grey was great at BU, but how does that translate to the ACC?  UVA has talent no doubt and the defending champs, but let's not forget the phantom goal that tied it up against Maryland.  It gave them life and deflated the terps.  My point is: they have flaws, everyone does. I think the Orange match up well with them.  
    Cornell has a great offense, but Mellen wins the match up against Teat.  They scored 2 or 3 unsettled goals to keep it close and still lost by 5.  Also, defense not included with this unit(they gave up 16 to Hobart and Albany and 15 or more 6 times).  
    Colgate came in and punched the Orange in the mouth last year, it was the Raiders high water mark.  I don't think the Orange will overlook them this year.  Phaup didn't start taking draws until later in the game and was 8 for 13.  I expect the Orange shooters to change levels and not play catch with the goalie.  
     My big take away is that the Orange can beat anyone on this schedule IF they play up to their potential and don't suffer too many brain cramps.  I am looking forward to the season.
