The Orange’s regular goalie, senior Evan Molloy, has been a little banged up, so coach John Desko turned to backup goalie Dom Madonna and liked how he held up. The defense was OK, according to Desko, but what bothered him was how his offense performed.
“We made some mistakes on defense, but I was pretty disappointed offensively with the few goals we had put up with a lot of our starters out there,” Desko said. “It was disappointing. We did play pretty good defense. Matt Lane (a 6-7, redshirt junior attackman) made a nice step up this fall. We had some freshmen playing out there. [Freshman midfielder Jamie] Trimboli got some good experience today.
“(Midfield freshman Peter) Dearth got some good experience today. We were a little short. We only had four close defensemen, with a couple of starters hurt. We did have some players step up. I thought Marcus Cunningham did a pretty good job. Austin Fusco did a pretty good job. Andrew Helmer, a redshirt freshman, I thought made some mental errors, but the good part is he’s learning from his mistakes.”
Overall, Desko was disappointed with his poorly his team shot.
“We rushed some things and didn’t shoot well, but for some of the guys returning,” Desko said. “I was disappointed with our offensive output.”
