Congrats Hoo's That
Ugh!
Congrats Hoo's That
Year after year, this program has a penchant for being unable to hold late leads. We’ve rallied many times ourselves, but it seems like we’ve pulled this stunt the majority of the time.
Cunningham is a solid player but I still would have preferred to have Melon match up with Kraus.
Kraus started the season a little slow due to injury but he seems to be rounding back in form.
Mellen shut down Moore, someone else has to step up. Kennedy or Helmer should have had Kraus. With that said of Drake plays like himself in the 4th we win, he let in a few he shouldn't have.
Do you like Helmer better playing SSDM or Pole? Honestly I think he's pretty good at both but maybe some games you let him play one or the other?

Lots of things the team needs to work on, this is a frustrating loss. Too many penalties (a lot were bad calls, but a lot were legit), and too many times giving up last second goals. Felt like the defense really wore down near the end of the game. A handful of plays and things could have turned out much differently.
That said there were a lot of great plays made by the Orange, I saw a ton of HHH this game. Dearth’s goal and Helmer’s assist to Voigt felt like things that had been missing from this team. UVA is extremely talented but this still felt like one that got away.
Can’t help but feel this loss really changes the complexion of the season. They had a great response after losing to Colgate, but this game is a stomach punch. Do they hang their heads and sulk or come back out looking for revenge against a team that embarrassed them last year? This might just be a season where they have to scrape and claw to get to 500 and hope that’s enough for the tournament.
Next week a must win for tourney or what?
I know UVA has more offensive talent but the D looked more organized last week with Murphy in against Army.
It's probably not fair to compare the difference between the UVA and Army offenses. I thought Murphy was very solid last week but if Bomberry is healthy he's playing.
so you're allowed to crosscheck-push a guy full bore after he gets inside you? and i'm pretty sure the SU player is pretty jacked, it wasn't a small amount of force. his option at that point was to trail check as kraus pulled his stick back/inside. he chose to slam him in the back.Thats a weak push call in OT. Just my opinion but if you’re diving there should be no push call. That kid had already initiated his dive and was nearly extended and parallel to the ground when the contact is made. Play on.
