LAX Action for May 25-27

[ForCuseSake]

First time I’ve seen a crease dive/push called correctly all year.

Edit - of course Matty Palumb was one of the refs making the call

End 3Q

Yale 16, PSU 13

 

[Hoo's That]

Hmm. I wonder where 3 of those 6 championships were held?

 

[creatorsgam]

Always a pleasure to watch Penn State lose in anything.

They mentioned this a couple times late in the broadcast, and it is a really good point: after 40+ F/O’s today how will Ierlan fare at the X on Monday?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Boola Boola

Yale 21, PSU 17.

Elis vs Hoos. Just like everyone predicted in February.

 

[rrlbees]

Proves the committee got the seedlings all wrong. That Yale v Penn game was just wrong. Glad to see ped st get boat raced and duke have their hearts ripped out.

Good point. Petey LaSalla took all 30 f/o’s for UVA today so I’m sure they’ll both be a little banged up. Will be interesting to see which team has more energy to play 60 minutes or more on Monday.

this Yale PS game is a case study for what is wrong with lacrosse. Face-offs should not be as dominant a factor - this makes lacrosse look BAD

I respectfully disagree. It's not like this game wasn't competitive. The face-off is unique to Lacrosse and gives the game another story line and dimension. Besides, the Creator wants a face off.

 

[Gone]

I don't want to argue with the Creator. Maybe face-offs could be tweaked in some way - limit the number of face-offs by one player??

Hey, leave me out of this. I haven’t publicly stated anything.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Keep the face off.

Shorten the shot clock or go back to 90s era stick heads to increase potential for change of possession to reduce the fogo impact.

(Sorry Cascade, I know you’re local.)

Can't remember another year with more exciting, hard hitting play in the tournament prelims.

Straight (no "pinch") sidewalls no more than 2" wide at their max. No offset. Just like in the picture orange79 posted. Maybe with the faceoff we should go back to the having sticks touching?

Not a bad idea, force a rotation of players. It would eliminate a single player dominating possesions.

This has been a fantastic tournament. 4 out of the 6 games in the quarters and semis went to overtime. For my money, it's a helluva lot better than women's softball any day.

Fun game, so far. A little chippy, too.

Bad dive by #22 for UVa after the penalty on the hit to Gaudet.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

End 1Q

Hoos 2, Elis 1

 

[HtownOrange]

TD Ierlan almost Face off Score. Cannot write him off even after 40 Face offs 2 days ago.

 

[samspann1]

One of the most entertaining low scoring games I've seen in a long time.
