A couple things I liked from the [URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/trimboli-syracuse-offense-adjusts-and-breaks-out-to-beat-army/56026']IL game article[/URL]:

[I]At halftime, Syracuse coaches stressed not to shoot early in possessions. With Schupler dropping low on so many shots, Syracuse needed to aim high. And If Army wanted to press its defenders on Syracuse’s offense, they must be forced to leave the middle of the defense open.

Rather than opting for one-man-in-the crease offenses, Syracuse switched to open sets, which with limited slides, created isolation situations for the Orange midfielders. On other possessions, Syracuse jammed two men in the crease and capitalized on Army hedges like on Trimboli’s first goal of the second half.[/I]

Yes, Virginia (pardon the pun), Syracuse DOES make halftime adjustments.  ;)

It wasn’t that Syracuse’s offense couldn’t score on Army. It just needed to find new ways. That task fell on Syracuse offensive coordinator Pat March. The first-year coach passed, and so did Syracuse in its first true test of 2020.

“Coach March is kind of a wizard,” Curry said. “So he was drawing up everything, making adjustments at every quarter, every huddle. So we benefited from that.”[/I]

I think we may have made a good hire with March.  :)
