1.) The defense was very undisciplined against Hobart. I was very surprised by Megill's lack of discipline in particular. He was smoked twice by Love in the first half because he went for over-the-head home run checks. He gave Love more respect and played him straight up in the second half. Our non-defensive midfielders (e.g. Lecky, Barber, etc.) were very poor sliding against Hobart but that's the tradeoff w/ two way middies. I agree w/ Phat - Lamo's been steady but there are only so many open 13 yard rips you're gonna save.
 
2.) As someone (Jeremy perhaps) in another thread pointed out, Paduda looked much better at scooping groundballs. Daddio drove me crazy trying to goose the ball to his teammates when he had the opportunity to scoop it himself. The wings have also been guilty of this too. I didn't see as much of it during the Hobart game as I saw in the Princeton and Cornell games. Too much cute play knocking the ball to your teammates instead of scooping and handling the pressure - that's been one of the reasons faceoffs have been so inconsistent for us this year.
 
3.) Slow attackmen = bad riding + fewer scoring chances. Rice is a very good feeder but his shot placement is bad. I'd like more of Donahue and less of Ward as Dylan has been better at creating his own shot. I'm used to SU being the team who clears their defensive half w/ ease and raises hell riding their opponent; it's very frustrating watching our opposition get the ball in their offensive end after 2-3 passes while we're much more methodical in clearing the ball.
