a few comments: Aviles looked like a veteran.  Played whole game without losing contact with his man but for one occasion in the second half.  Clears, defends and hits like he knows what he's doing.  2.  If 22 was not a decoy, he played like one. Never tested his long pole.  Trotted on

a few comments: 1. Aviles played like a veteran, covered very well but for one instance in the second half, cleared well and hit.  A recruit way under the radar.  2.  Scanlan either was a decoy or played like one.  Trotted on rides, looked narcoleptic at times.  3.  Helmer has grown into one of the better LSMs in the country.  4. I could not figure out the strategy in the first half.  Whole offense looked timid.  Middies took one move and backed off.  I watched the Marist game.  Invert, invert, invert.  Army was too stubborn for its own good.  Never backed off the idea that shorties could cover from x.  Why the hell didn't the orange start that immediately.  Even when the middies proved they could break down the ssdms, Army stuck with the no slide tactics.  Trimboli showed immediately how to handle Army.  Move, curl back, move, curl back, move again and score.  Army pays too much attention to the macho pub it receives.  Sticks too long with the wrong strategy.  5.  Phaup channels Ben Williams.  Worth his weight in...

6. For me, SU's strength comes from its competent ssdms and goalie.  They are the core of the team like the lower abdomen is the core of the human body.  All three Dami, Dearth, Aviles played the whole field well.  7.  Ryan Powell was right.  The first middies line is murder.  They figure out the defense and become more effective with time on the field.  I think they could have beaten Army by six or seven goals if they were relentlessly attacking from x at the start of the game.  8.  For a relatively unfamiliar close defense group, it coordinated and communicated effectively throughout.  Well done.
