Message: [QUOTE="illestcuse, post: 3286915, member: 6621"] I took away two positives from this game: 1. the ride, finally they are putting in the work between the 30's, and it showed when Stony Brook only had like 30 secs to get a shot off. 2. Grace Fahey. Man, did she guard Ally Kennedy well. 1v1 Ally Kennedy stood no chance, which surprised me. Other than those two points I made, everything else was a mess.. in typical Gary Gait fashion. Let me just rewind back a couple weeks to a little quote Gary said in the NCAA Lacrosse Preview: "We’re going to develop the ability to finish games and win the big ones." I just really have to have a laugh. Why am I not shocked at this result at all? lol. Year in and year out, after quarterfinal losses, after NCAA championship game losses, ACC Tourney losses, I've just accepted that the fact that thats all Gary knows how to do, is lose. I really do respect all that Gary has done for the women's game and I think he should be involved in the women's game to some capacity, but I think its getting a bit ridiculous now and may be time to hang it up as head coach. You have how many seniors on this team? HOW MANY?! Stony Brook has how many freshman/sophomores on their team? And this is the product you put out? What on God's green earth even was that offense that we seen today? Trying to force and jam balls in the middle when girls are being marked or the area is heavily congested. Lost count of how many times Morgan Alexander turned the ball over. We're down like 4-5 goals, Gary calls a timeout and says (I can read lips) "relax, move the ball, move your feet, and do what we need to do"... like really Gary? Those are your words of wisdom? Boy, oh boy am I frustrated to no end. You can really tell this team has no confidence in themselves because when Ella Simkins drove the ball up the field and scored she said "I didn't think it would go in". SMH. See what I told you all last season? Once again the defense was awful, especially in the second half. In reply to [USER=478]OrangeinBoston[/USER] -- [B]the defense has always been bad, and will continue to be bad;[/B] Defliese is not the answer to our defensive issues. Neither is Goldstock. #1 ranked incoming goalie in 2016 and boy has she under performed. Doesn't even help make important saves when our defense is lacking. I had high hopes for her but she is just not good. Should've been pulled way earlier than she did, too. Gary oughta give the starting spot to Van Middelem until Goldstock wants to get it together.
