He had a slam dunk against Harvard that would’ve won that game that he totally blew as well. Without looking, I would doubt he’s more than a career .325 shooter. This is a game we should’ve had 25 goals. Between his point blank misses, and the lost possession due to sloppy turnovers, there was easily, seven or eight lost opportunities. Not to mention we shot 3 feet over the goal more times today that we have all year. Despite only having 11 turnovers today, and our turnover total per game decreasing, the ones today were uglier than ever. With no pressure at all, McCool just throws the ball away. At least three times, maybe more, we won the face off, advanced past midfield, and were not under any pressure at all, and Fogos just threw the ball away. We were offsides two times too, again not facing a serious ride when we were. Mcintee tried running by four people. Someone had to be open if four guys chased him, but no pass, and he had the ball poked away which led to a goal 10 seconds later. Then there was the time where we had the ball past midfield, and lackadaisically passed it in traffic, while a player running off on a substitution poked the ball away from us. The last two will count as “caused turnovers”. But they really weren’t. It was just stupidity and laziness on our part. But my biggest concern still has to be SSDM. Bowen was in quicksand all day. McCarthy got absolutely blown by twice for doorstep goals. Spallina gave up on a play where he was in great position and let Air Force’s guy get his hands-free, I think on their third goal. He literally just stopped and watched as Air Force ripped the shot. Then in the second half he started a slide that would’ve cut off the shooter, but then bailed on it, allowing the shooter to go right to the goal. Close defense has been excellent, but these guys as a group are pretty bad. Someone else said it best, it’s like there was a keg behind the bench and these guys were just playing in a beer league [/QUOTE]
