Message: [QUOTE="ivorytower, post: 3302584, member: 6888"] Rewatched game a second time. Imperfect performance but several positives . A comeback win agaisnt a tough opponent when others are getting upset can only boost. Army dominating Rutgers and UMass by combined 32-8 score was no fluke , they are good team. They dominated ball in 1q when Porter made half of his saves .Cuse played into Army's d strength in 1h as they held and didn't move ball, dropped catchable passes and took several shots from bad angles. Ref calls also didn't help in 1h. Trimboli goal before halftime was huge. He was tremendous all game, he's supposedly not the dodger that others are but he's the one who best get into seams and the most accurate. Every shot he takes is now a good shot with good placement. Hard to win a game when attack pointless but Cuse did. Cook played well despite, he just missed a few. Scanlan at times looked disinterested but maybe part of game plan was for him to simply pull a defender out to allow driving lanes as he keep looking over to sidelines for positioning .Missed locating him when open in 2h but he didn't force or pout. Refhuss put effort into rides but struggled. Good player but as anyone can have off days depending on matchup. Seebold has looked good in practices and short stints, earned getting run whenever any attackman struggling. Also might experiment some with Dordevic at x because need options when we stagnate. Inverting Dord and Curry paid late dividends. Surprised not employed earlier given Marist success. Curry made some good interior passes . Lipka had a quietly good game. Need to get Buttermore going. Porter made some highlight saves near crease and just as importantly didn't give up rebounds. Phaup was dominant, he's gonna improve further and eventually take some wins to hole. Army offense is very good this year and holding them to just seven is a positive. Porter obviously big but team D in 6x6 shouldn't be overlooked. It's jelling .Backline movements were coordinated amongst and with defenders up top who played well. Backline hedged, helped and recovered well . One score agaisnt came in unsettled transition , one goal by Silva a difficult catch and release in traffic. One backdoor score and one open at crease saved by Porter but really little ball watching . Good off ball awareness. Noted that Nictern got off just two shots with Kennedy on ball, one the topside goal and the other a misfire off a screen which Dami switched on well . Dodges defended well and screens gave us few problems other than one double that was reversed for score. Dami played very well in his return, showed speed, strength and a hard shot though he missed a wide open Cook. Gonna be a two way asset and allow Helmer to keep pole. Man down still needs work, two man up goals not one as listed in boxscore. TV missed call of 2h penalty on Cook's stick where lefty mid scored. Clearing was very good again but little push upfield as Army made it a point to get back rather than pressure. In 4q Cuse showed how good they can be. Should be in top four this week. [/QUOTE]
