Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 3306270, member: 6798"] Fortunately Hobart lost their excellent fogo from last year. Phaup has shown his dominance against FOGOs with a worse clamp than his. I know it's early but currently third in the nation in win percentage! I see Hobart struggling to keep up in the second half with that in our back pocket. I have only seen brief 4 minute highlight videos that Hobart puts on youtube. From that Holden looks like the dodging star. I feel good about Kennedy against him after seeing how well he did against Nichtern. Besides Holden they have a ton of excellent outside shooters. Better than ours frankly (aside from Trimboli and Buttermore when he is on). A lot of guys who can just underhand rip it in typical Upstate NY lacrosse fashion. Not sure if any of them our fast enough to draw a ton of slides (a major strength of our middies). Most capable in that department is probably Ryan Archer from JD. I remember him blowing past a couple guys as a freshman two years ago. They had some other middie who scored 1 v 1 against a short stick last year, but that may have been Knox dodging from up top who plays attack now I believe. As Ivory Tower mentioned, the Colgate results show us that we can't just go into this lightly. Fortunately there are some factors in the Colgate game that should be better for us now. We had no Dami, who excelled in the Army game both on ball and offball. Mellen was both out in the second half and we were not prepared for it like we will be tomorrow. We had a good deal of first game nerves as well which should be calmed on game 4, especially after the confidence boost of only allowing 7 goals against Army. I feel good but we simply have to shoot better than we did against Army. That game was unacceptable from both an accuracy and shot selection standpoint. Also it would be nice for man up to figure it out! [/QUOTE]
