I think if either one of us suited up in goal for Army, we'd have a good game. Army goalies always seem to stand on their heads.

Funny you mention that, I said the same thing in the chat room, plus Drypolcher echoed your thoughts exactly. Unreal how good they are versus SU.
I've had trouble getting to the chat on my iPad lately. Not sure what the problem is.

That has to be the lowest scoring half for SU ever. This O is not going to produce much this year. D is going to have to carry them. So weird saying that for an SU team...
We had over 45 shots ... the Army goalie had a great day. Otherwise, we would have been in double digits.
And the 3rd mid line got a lot of run during the game (DeJoe, Walters, Gillis).
I really like the third line, interesting that Hatem was surpassed by two true Freshmen. SU does need to do a better job of shot placement, to much high or low in a row, not enough variation.
Need to change the plan. Way too much low-to-low and high-to-high. That noted, the Army kid was great (what else is new; he was so mediocore in the first three that Joe employed a rotation). I told my wife the score when she came home from work and she said "not another one of those," but imo it really wasn't. There were plenty of chances due to motion and good ball movement. That noted, this team is very limited offensively. Shut off Maltz and put a good pole on JoJo with a quick slider added and this team will have trouble scoring. That's just the view two games in. Hope it changes. I watched Cornell-Hobart as I was writing up my story for Inside Lacrosse, and it looked as if the Big Red had at least four offensive players more ccomplished than's SU best. That's Pannell PLUS three. Yikes.
That should have read "need to change the plane." I fixed it. I share your optimism for the future, but for the present I am amazed at how smallish and not very fast the current offense is compared to only a few years ago when Hardy, Amidon, Brooks, Abbott . . . well, you get the picture. It really is a stark difference. Even Bobby Eilers looked the part.

Agree with you on looking the part, Rice and Ward look really small out there, under 5'10 and Drew Jenkins looks like a 12 year old who stole Jovan Millers uniform, he is WAY undersized. The younger guys do seem to look the part, while not huge Walters, Schoonmaker, Hatem, Donahue, Dejohn, Dejoe, seem like bigger guys, ditto for Mullins who laid the wood to Thul yesterday.
