Maryland Gameday...

[MadNY3]

Why didn't Gait call timeout after the official review to set up the defense? Seems like the players were out there on their own. Tillman would have called one if he were on D.

The review should have served as the TO as they used their one OT TO to set up the Leo dive.

i also think could of use mullin little bit more as he was battling weirdman also few times he went in. Should use both yes kohn more but both tire weirdman out. Also kohn didn’t jump early faceoff to start overtime

The structure of that made no sense whatsoever

 

[Cuse All-In]

To sum it up, offense was sloppy, Mark was mediocre. If either had been sharper, we would have won.
Spallina can rack up points against the weaker teams but isn't dominant against the best teams, at least not yet.

Gait isn't exactly an in game tactician.whats his record in one goal games

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Gait will get there with the timeout and clock management. Desko was pretty good in close games but had more experience. I always thought he and Donahue had good set plays off timeouts and called them at the right moments.

Mark got better as game continued

Again bad call or not you can't just implode 10 seconds after the restart

Great. But the game should have been over. So..

It was the correct call. Leo pretty much dove parallel to the goal and ended up sliding too far. At no point was he pushed or redirected into the goal mouth. He dives like one step earlier or even just stays on his feet and it's probably good.

 

[Bayside44]

What a shitty day for SU sports. Two heartbreakers in the Dome, and Bad SU shows up again down South.

Why can’t we have nice things, again?

Dramatic. Top 5 team that will learn from this

He hit the goalmouth, the call was correct under the rules

Guessing over 5,000 today.

7,353 actual.

I just want us to be good again... But anytime we taste a glimpse... We choke...

You watched that and think we aren’t good?

Gait does need to be better in game. Waited way to long to take that TO in OT and riding there with this team after the review made no sense

We are good enough to be in these games yes, but the execution late the last couple years has been hard to watch. Except for the UNC game winner last year.

Truth is we HAVE to beat Utah and Army if we want a real shot at the tourney. Can't rely on the ACC games to get there.

Hit a post, double clutched a game winner, and the Leo play. Maryland smoked us last year. This is a way different team

As someone pointed out above English needed to bury his look for the winner. Thats a shot the Denver transfer last year buries. SU has to get him and Thomson on track or bump Birtwistle.

 

[orangecuse]

He hit the goalmouth, the call was correct under the rules

100%.

The rule sucks IMO, but the rule is the rule. It really sucks too because it appeared that Leo sliding into that particular crease area had no bearing whatsoever on the play, since the ball was passed the end line well before his momentum/sliding to his final resting spot.

Yup that's exactly what Gait said to. It's easy to say in hindsight but Leo has to either work farther up field or position his body so he's falling away. The rule sucks but it's still a rule and SUs lost a goal on it 3 times this year. As you noted the frustrating part is it really had no bearing on the shot itself. Frustrating because it didn't even need to come to that if English buries his look

Ref's can't review the push, all they can review is whether or not he entered the crease.

Our best two defenders are sophomores. Our best two midfielders are sophomores. Our best attack is a Freshman. Goalie, wings, fogo, all transfers. Picking up on the pattern? I think talent wise we can compete now, but we’ll still have some challenges.

get 2/3 vs Army Cornell and Jhu. Beat Delaware and Utah. Win the gameswe’re supposed to and try to get two ACC wins. That’s a very strong resume.
