Do we have defensemen who can play outside and inside against ND and UVA or Duke?  Why did SU come closer to UVA in their first meeting?  I reviewed the first UVA game.  Dixon and Cormiers were good, but not magical like they have become over the course of the season.  I've watched some great finishers over the last thirty years.  The very good teams have usually had one who could score at will.  I do not remember a combination as good as Dixon and Cormiers who play from the crease to about ten feet from the goal.  They strike like rattlers.  Lightning reflexes, incredible eye hand coordination.  They have improved their coordination over this season.  The other aspect sometimes missed about these guys is physical.  Cormier is a big strong veteran player.  Dixon reminds me of a great ballet dancer.  Grace and speed unmatched by most players.  It would take at least two elite longs to handle them.  SU has none.  Combine them with four other exceptional athletes and Katie bar ...   No defensive scheme regardless of how well executed will stop these guys.  You have to outscore UVA and ND and probably Duke.  Posters have suggested various combinations of offensive players.  Cohen and Cordes are not enough, though they may be a slight improvement.  SU's offense may grow into as devastating a group as UVA in a couple of years.  Not this year.
