Spencer is a wondrous player/athelete  but he has taken fifteen shots in the last two games with only six on goal and has not scored in the last two games .He has plenty in his repertoire but he is fortunately not the most accurate . Duke played him straight up with Van Raphorst who shut him down without much help from slides . Mellen is just as s strong as CVP and has better feet though the height difference has been an issue with tall mobile athletes like Henningburg .

Spencer strength is his athleticism, great  field vision and passing skills especially finding others with highlight passes after drawing slides . 54 assists , like Ament best to play him straight up  and make him a shooter rather than a passer who breakdowns D for others. .   
Attackman  Lindley 57g is the main beneficiary so defenders  cant ball watch as some have occasionally done nor should they slide much to Spencer. He moves to spots off Spencer probes and converts passes at a very high % but he will not beat anyone  on his own. He should be handled well if we stick with him.

While Lindley is dependent on Spencer  passing,  40 g mid Scanlan has a wide skillset and iwill take his defender , great feel for contact  as he leans into defenders and will spin off  either way and dive  to crease,  he will also dodge from gle and from up top and has a very accurate shot. .He has had several high scoring games so  close attention must be paid to him.  Secondary scorers are  att Olmstead and  mid Duffy who can shoot off dodge.

Stover is very good but we have faced several good goalies and have worn many out.

Should be a good competitive 50-50 game
