I only was able to catch the last few minutes, saw Anderson was out there and had 2 goals did he start? Something happen to Deere?

Appeared ok, believe Gait wanted to force UVA to have to play our mids straight up. Anderson forces teams to not double pole. That said Deere should be on the 2nd mid line
 
Huge win. Big kudos to Hiltz, that game sealing goal was more than garbage cleanup, he soaked some serious contact and battled for that one. Love the way he is playing this year. Real grit to his game that is coming through.

Cap tip to McCool, he’s been playing really well since the Harvard game. Things could have really backfired for the team had he not dug deep. Really impressed with his play this year.

Rhoa maybe needs to get his stick checked. He wasn’t even close to the cage on most of his shots. Will definitely need him the rest of the season, can’t afford performances like that. He’s simply too important. Big ups to Sammy English for stepping up.
 
McCool was stellar in goal. That incredible on the doorstep save he made near the very end of the 1st Q when it looked like we'd be down 6-1 at quarter's end, which led to a warp speed goal for us at the other end with 1.2 seconds left was the game changer IMO. Instead of being down 6-1 heading into Q2, it's 5-2 and completely changed the mojo!

He had a couple absolutely enormous saves. One people won't remember is right before UVAs last TO he made a great stop. Game completely changes if he doesn't get that
 
N know gonna come from guys bout joey. Only thing will say he took few shots that were bad but overall he didn’t try to take over or force himself. He didn’t have the matchup to exploit n didn’t try to be hero. Yes only had one point but this was game clearly gait wanted midfield to handle. As attack wasn’t involved for much of it. As long as joey isn’t costing us or forcing it, n we win don’t matter if he scores pts or not. He still drawing eyes n defense still worries where he is. He hit lost few times. I just do wish he take better angle shots n not stop so short coming from behind. Push higher or get to middle.

A lot of talent on this team joey doesn’t need to be that guy. He just needs let game come to him n play whatever role it is we need for that game.
 
Also mullen def think wasn’t early on few calls. But we def need give anglo or someone more reps. Mullen can’t take every single faceoff. Uva threw 3 dudes at him n seem to work on mixing it up on him. He had off game but still had 2pts i’ll take it. Mccool great game

Mullen maybe getting a rep with the officials for some reason, gets called early way to much often when nothing is discernable from watching live or on TV. Johnny did what he had to do late, won those last few and that last one was just enormous
 
D mids have been doing well in every non Harvard game this year. Good 1v1 play from Ochoa Levine and Spallina all game. Spallina with that super clutch caused turnover. Chuck K with several cts as well at lsm. Defense did the job and bailed out and inconsistent game from the offense. Another quality game for McCool too!

D played very well again. A couple of bad sequences obviously but after qtr 1 they really clamped down. Shutz and Balsamo were both non factors and Colsey shot 13% on 2 pts. SSDMs have definitely improved from last year though they have a brutal stretch upcoming
 
not sure we've put together a game where every facet clicked together . seems like when one unit is up another is down. if we ever get everybody bringing their A game we'd be pretty damn scary .

I agree. Spallina's take away in the 4th was huge!
 
Millon with a big day in the stat book, but like last year, he really can kill them with the turnovers and impatient shots. Some of his shots were weak angle early in the shot clock that got it quickly going back the other way for us. They obviously need him on O, but he hurts them a lot by not valuing the ball. Thought we created offense for them by sliding to him even if he had not gotten a real step on figueras
