Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 1751131, member: 43"] From what I can see (there are more qualified people then me who can speak on the issue) but it appears SU is sliding or hedging much more quickly on any dodges coming from up top against our SSDM's this has slowed those alley dodge goals to a trickle against SU. Also as you saw in today's game Molloy made probably 4-6 saves that Hill in honestly hasn't been able to make this year. I mean a couple of those were just ridiculous. The SU defense is still susceptible to quick ball movement/passing you saw Duke on a few times really moving the ball that resulted in great looks that Molloy either saved or Duke couldn't put it on cage. Another aspect that I think has gone overlooked is that the SU D isn't having that 10 minutes stretch where they couldn't stop at attack line of me, you, and Orange Extreme. Re-watch the JHU and Duke game prior to the 4 quarter the D held up fairly well and then totally collapsed for a variety of reasons. Mellens and Mullins are also both playing extremely well right now they are basically shutting down or severely limiting their matchup. Guterding did almost nothing today due to Mullins and Mellen had a good game as well. Firman and Fusco continuing their strong play is clearly also playing a large role, they both drew Jones today and did a great job. To recap it appears SU has done a much better job timing slides and getting better SSDM play since Molloy was inserted. Schwasnick has really stood out and I think Gillis and Ciferri have played much better down the stretch. Even Mcdermott who had a real rough stretch for a few weeks seems to have settled in. Still with all that Molloy has been the key difference, as I noted earlier made at least 3-5 saves that SU hasn't gotten from a goalie since Galloway [/QUOTE]
