LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Yes, we know you don't like Coach Van. But he's not the shot caller for recruiting. I don’t “not like” Van. My point is that Toomey recruited a bunch of high 4 stars kids who have all pretty much either failed to produce, regressed or haven’t gotten the opportunity to play. For teams like Duke, UVA...

Well let’s hope the offense gets its act together for Rutgers and Towson next week. Still think the problem starts with the midfielders. Eleven turnovers. Two goals. Kamish finally scored but this team looks tight. Afraid to make a mistake. Staudt was great again. Defense was solid. Clearing game w...

According to this, the Hounds have played the toughest schedule thus far. “That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger”. Building for conference play… https://masseyratings.com/clax/ncaa-d1/ratings I would not disagree with toughest schedule. But that is not what is being discussed here It is the ...

Terp fan here but the game really surprised me. Thought we'd see a 1-goal kind of game. As an outsider, two things stood out to me (aside from your goalie keeping the game as close as it was). One, your rope unit didn't hold up too well. The Terps attacked the shorties and LSMs on inverts for the e...

Wow. Couldn’t make today’s game. Kinda glad. Watched on TV. Just can’t believe that three attack who combined for 13 goals and 18 points against a good Georgetown team could come up so empty today. Bad start. Down 4-0. Bad shots and bad turnovers. When your FOGO can’t win draws you have to protect t...

What a day. Other than Face off the entire team played phenomenal. James with 9 points. Poitras and Minicus with 4 goals each. Heuston added two and Higgins and Salley were on the scoreboard. Surprised that none of the backup guys got in late. A conundrum at midfield with Heuston, Higgins and Kamis...

Just a quick question. Did Gtown really call a stick check on a kid who hadn't been in the game? If so, we are entering glove-color territory. They called it on Trent turner #0. He didn’t even get a second of PT in the game. Why even call a stick check on him? Stick check is anonymous. The refs jus...

Think Poitras had five or six today. James and Minicus also scored a few. Middies were non existent offensively.

15-11 loss. Not bad after first quarter. Lots of work to do over the next few weeks.

Ugly first quarter down 6-0. Came back stronger in second. Down 8-6 at half. Defense was awful in 1st and way too many turnovers.

Have been told everyone is healthy also. Minicus and Higgins missed fall ball. Veteran lineup. Should be a good season.

With this being the last year of the “COVID five years” I think the portal will become less and less used. No more fifth year guys going to another school to fill out a roster.

USA LACROSSE has Loyola as somewhere between 21-23 in pre season rankings. I really think that the Hounds are being underestimated. They bring back the entire attack group (Poitras, Minicus and James) as well as their starting middies (Higgins, Kamish and Lindsay), their FOGO (Pacheco) and Goalie (S...

What are the odds that James will play mid? None. That's what I thought. Of course, during the season, anything could happen. But... None. Thanks, Former. Agreed, James is a player we need on the field at all times, he’s dangerous on the wing as a spot shooter and can also create for his own. The a...

None.

Any thoughts on rising stars on the roster? I don’t think there’s “stars” that can takeover like what we had with Spencer, but I think we have a couple guys who are better than advertised. If they run the attack line of minicus, poitras and James where they have minicus run as the guy behind the go...

Poitras was a beast all day. Haberman played great. Figuring out second middie group with Higgins coming back in spring and Minicus coming back to attack. Think Core had a goal and McGorry had two or three. Heuston is a beast and Binney being a lefty can shoot. Very impressive day for the hounds. I...
