Players were raving about Hiltz abilities in fall and he showed why. Didnt look the part trotting onto field but he can really play. His decisions and composure were that of an experienced vet . His shooting, passing and riding were even better than hoped for. His ability to launch missiles , to spot and throw accurate skips to sticks, to seamlessly integrate his skills within team flow in both settled sets or running was impressive . His abilities will influence and spread the field for all six offensive players on field.
Refhuss had more freedom to display his entire skillset. Thee goals, three assists on seven shots which is a career high. Threat of Hiltz created additional space for Refhuss to operate and launch his unorthodox shot off his unusual routes. Enjoyed watching a more assertive Refhuss and believe its beneficial to all when he can.,
Two games in .Not worried about Scanlan output at all .He's nowhere as threatening to defenders as our first line mids but he's established , a top level finisher in flow whenever opportunity presents. inherent pressures of wearing #22 especially given talent of several others . He may be pressing some given some placements but Rode also made a couple of good stops on him More worried about him maintaining focus and contributing in all facets. He showed great effort in his rides and made two skip passes that resulted in goals though only credited with one assist. He's a good player.
Cook will be that sparkplug off bench and add energy and versatility.
Dodging . Attack and mids getting more interchangeable these days .UVA plays six attackman but it was Cuse that had the better game plan of inverting . Know Curry is a mid but he's still our best dodger at attack and passes well to cutters . Seebold and Ferris also showed abilty to use large bodies to get off shots when inverting . Scanalan or Hiltz in those sets can easily slip up top for kick outs. Would expect inverts to be seen more frequently since it has been effective when employed.
