[ivorytower]

Shellenberger goal off to forced by ride . 12-6

Army doesn't have same depth, may be wearing down some

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Watching Loyola vs. Richmond. Army doesn’t have the horses for a comeback...I think?

 

[ivorytower]

uva g with another fine stop at crease off nichtern feed

kid has been impressive

 

[ClvrUsrnm]

UVA is doubling Nichtern and forcing other players to beat them. Hasn’t happened yet

Going to stick here but concur. It's over. UVA deep

 

[JeremyCuse]

UVA is doing what I have been looking for SU to do against army for a decade +. Just overwhelming them offensively. Army doesn't have the secondary defensive pieces or depth to keep up. Been waiting for SU to do something similar but instead were usually in a hole impressive performance

 

[JeremyCuse]

Also Army had been uncharacteristically sloppy today. Some bad turnovers

 

[ivorytower]

Betrand off dodge feeds Dickson for goal 13-6

Feels like historically Army goalies often play the best game of their lives against SU.

Byrnes with 2nd . 13-7 uva

Closest we came to doing that was in the second half of the game last year. Solid 7 goal half. We let the power of the first middie line do it’s thing and they couldn’t stop us off the dodge.

 

[ivorytower]

Byrne with third on beautiful behind the back 13-8 uva. 8 mins to go in 4q

 

[ClvrUsrnm]

That Army is playing this week and Syracuse is not is an advantage for Syracuse in terms of scouting. But Army is getting the chance make the mistakes that will get cleaned up during the week. Syracuse has yet to make those mistakes.

Unmentioned so far has been UVAs 10-man ride. That has caused a bunch of turnovers and led to goals, including the empty netter, for Virginia. Syracuse doesn’t ride as aggressively. Perhaps they should.

13-8 with about 7:30 to go

 

[ClvrUsrnm]

4-2 Richmond at halftime

I’m watching both

Who needs a 10 man ride when you have Cook!

Agree with you Doc. Stats say Army has only cleared 11 of 20.

Nichtern with another off dodge 13-9

Im starting to wonder if uva frosh Gavin earned start in practice. army has had some good chances and kid has twelve saves

 

[ivorytower]

Betrand 14-9 min to go.

Smooth transition to D1 comp

 

[ivorytower]

Final 14-9

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Betrand 14-9 min to go.

Smooth transition to D1 comp

Well yeah, he transitioned last year. It’s odd people are surprised when a 6’2” horse with two D-2 nattys and a productive half-season in D-1 look up to it.

 

[Zack80]

A little bit of diminishing returns for Bertrand and Shellenberger against tougher competition (1 g , 2 a for each).
I didn't really think the Towson result supported jumping Virginia over UMd and Syracuse in the rankings. I don't think this result does either.

True. actually meant smooth transition to uva unlike some other transfers who are still adjusting some

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Anyone else watching Loyola and Richmond? Heading to OT 7-7

 

[orange79]

Loyola scores a minute into OT and wins 8-7.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Strong finish for Loyola they tied it up with 1 minute to go in regulation. 4-1 goal difference in 4th quarter and OT I believe
