Message: [QUOTE="ohmilax34, post: 3304681, member: 6339"] Watching the game on youtube: Murphy gets to a loose ball in the D box off the face off and gets the ball to Porter. Winning possessions like this is an important thing for Murphy's value to the team. Someone needs to pick up the slack left by Bomberry. On the first O possession Curry inverts and creates a great look for Dordevic who seemingly hits the goalie. It's a little hard to see if the goalie actually had to move to make the save. On the first D possession Army is dodging on Oladunmoye, but Dami hangs pretty tough. It's good to have him back, and he really helps the depth of the SSDM group. On the 2nd O possession Rehfuss' defender presses out and causes a turnover. Rehfuss needs to make defenders pay for pressing out. He had just dodged to 5x5, but didn't threaten a move to the cage and didn't find an open player, because nobody slid, because they didn't respect him as a threat to the goal. He needs to show he's a threat to score. He then commits a pushing foul. On the 2nd D possession, DiPietro slides to Nichtern, even though Kennedy is doing alright, but it looked like Dipietro might be trying to time his slide so Nichtern doesn't see him coming and cause a turnover. Nichtern passes to Dipietro's guy who is now at X. Murphy is the closest guy to slide to the ball carrier at X, but his guy on the crease would be wide open for a goal, so he waits for DiPietro to get back to the crease before he slides to the ball carrier. Murphy makes a good approach and drives the ball carrier away from the goal. Everyone is playing with their head on a swivel and they look like they are communicating. SU has Quinn stuck on defense and Army dodges on him, draws a slide and finds a step down shooter and hits the post and Fernandez wins a 1v1 battle at the sideline to usher the ball out of bounds. SU played good defense for a while, but was a little lucky to get out of the possession without being scored on. Having Quinn stuck on D doesn't help. I am encouraged by the amount of communication among all the players, including Aviles, who was on D for that possession. [/QUOTE]
