I do not understand all of the Desko hate on this forum. Yes, the program has come back to the pack the last few seasons and having a senior class with no FF's is very disappointing. However, I think other than the loss to Towson that this team easily exceeded expectations.
The two biggest game changers are the X man and the goalie. In the cases of Williams and Molloy, both were solid overall, but neither one was spectacular. Both were at least somewhat inconsistent. Combine that with the lack of a bona fide superstar and you have a team that can be beaten.
All of the comebacks and the one goal w's show to me a coach with the ability to adjust intra-game and somebody who never let his team quit on him.
What more can one ask of your coach ??
As many posters have mentioned, the upcoming season may be comparatively lean, but then after that the new and improved recruiting kicks in.
Lax will never go back to the days when Cuse and Hopkins rotate titles. It is much more wide open. As long as we are in the mix and have as good a shot at a FF and a title as anybody else then that is all we are entitled to expect. If it plays out that way then more FFs and some titles will eventually be in the future.
