Message: [QUOTE="OrangeinBoston, post: 4564725, member: 478"] Very surprised to see Sweitzer get the start in goal. But, she responded well. Save percentage of .423 which is really good especially as it was against a top caliber team in Northwestern. Coaching seemed better - no coming out flat as a pancake which was a problem last season. Didn't really adjust to the draw control problems however. Syracuse led in assists, ground balls and caused turnovers - all keys to the victory. Sometimes they had a player who was too slow try to clear with predictable results. The big failure was in draw controls where Northwestern doubled up Syracuse. It's a miracle this didn't sink them. So, credit the defense and goalie play. The issue seemed to be that the wings were totally out of position as was mentioned by commentator Alyssa Murray (former SU star). Stuff to work on. If this is a sign of things to come, we are in good shape on both MLAX and WLAX. [/QUOTE]
