Disappointing result. Had hoped for a closer game but the defense just a huge letdown today. The amount of ball watching and happy feet was bad. Sliding early, not matching up, and a good chunk of times just looking lost. Gave Virginia shooters a lot of high quality looks. Mark probably could have had one or two more saves but not much he can do when guys are that wide open.

Who would have thought that we didn't get enough of Richusa taking draws today? He was able to do a good job against Lasalla, though had some trouble at times retaining possession after winning the draw. I see looking over the box score that even Dwan was credited with winning a draw, with Richusa picking up the groundball.

The offense is what it is. They're gonna score when they get possessions, it's just getting and keeping those possessions. Not exactly sure why they kept trying to force passes inside, Virginia was waiting and would quickly collapse forcing the turnover. The second line felt invisible today. Rhoa had a couple shots, Cook didn't register a single stat, and Birtwistle a goal on the EMO.

I still like our chances against Duke, unless we get the same type of defensive play we got today.
