Hearing the score was 20-10 UVA. Tough to quantify the competitive nature of the game as UR played a lot of the younger players. UR also missing a few starters due to injury. SLF

US women’s roster for fall classic

Post by wlaxnut »

Technically this isn’t fall ball, but it does happen during the fall.

Interesting to see who made the roster…

Not exactly a murderer’s row schedule, guess choices are limited given geography.

Loyola Play day

Post by Dr. Tact »

I know its Fall Ball and results dont matter until Spring...All unofficial results, cause its Fall Ball and the games officially were 0-0.

Loyola outscored Maryland, Penn and Cuse.
Penn outscored Maryland and Cuse
I dont know who "won" between Maryland and Cuse.

Didnt see any injuries, which is always most important.

[edit] Daughter told me Cuse outscored MD. I know...its Fall Ball :D

So Dr. Tact did you get to watch the Loyola / UNC game? Thoughts?
Also heard the UVA v VT scrimmage was a close one...

I have to say I'm seeing a real advantage to defenders and buddies fouling players. If its during the ride it's a real advantage to defender to fall girl with ball. Stops motion. If it's within the 8, and the player is trying to take a shot, defenders foul and then Get a better defensive position and force the FP. If I were playing on defensive end I would be fouling players all the time. Doesn't seem fair to the offensive player.

Keep repeating after me..."It is Fall Ball and scores dont matter..."

Now to your question -

Loyola "won" the first half....leading by as much as 3 but it ended 6-5 Loyola at half.

Another half, another result. UNC knocked down the Hounds...final was 14-9 UNC.

I know...it is Fall Ball, but that result just seems crazy.

I remember when D was recruited at Princeton, I thought they (Ivies) didnt have organized practices in Fall...Is that correct that all practices in fall are Captain run? Or is it that they just start later than non-Ivies?

Dr. Tact,
I realize scores are generally meaningless in fall. Daughters teams have played Maryland in fall a few times and beaten them only to see them win Natty Championships that spring lol
I asked for your thoughts on scrimmage between UNC and Loyola meaning: for both teams how does offense look, defense, goalies, who stood out, how did freshmen look etc.
Now scrimmage 4 days old so you probably can't recall.
That was what I meant with ”thoughts on scrimmage”
Have a nice day! 👍😊

Loyola Playday

Post by SPIDERLAXFAN »

I have finally dried out from yesterday’s playday at Loyola. Can’t remember an event that had as much rain as we had yesterday. It was a full on monsoon. Kudos to all that braved the elements. From a Richmond perspective I felt the games were very competitive. Yes it’s fall ball and yes lots of freshman and sophomores were on the field but the Spiders played 3 solid games. They beat Florida and lost to Princeton and Loyola. I’m sure Dr Tact will have further details.

There is only one other day that I can remember that was as miserable as that...At Princeton last year for the NCAA's. Bonus, the drive to and from Baltimore was terrible..

I think Loyola "won" their games, but the closest one was Richmond....Richmond had a nice ride and their zone d seemed to give the Hounds fits...Richmond looked comfortable with the competition and were leading by at least 4 goals at one point. (I didnt keep score, that was just from a comment I heard).

Florida didnt look up to their past years...I know, it's Fall Ball, but no Pireccas, no Hicklen and no Ronbeck...the team looked a little rough...

IMO, Loyola and Princeton was the game of the day. Both took their best shots and Loyola seemed to want to get a little pay back to the last game in the rain (NCAAs). Again, its Fall Ball, but the hounds looked like they just wanted to win it.

I dont know what to make of the upcoming Season and Fall Ball is no predictor of Spring success, but Loyola might surprise some people. They "beat" all but UNC this Fall and play in an pretty easy conference. First 10 games or so will show how good they are or aren't. Loyola tends to schedule all their hard games early.

Couldn’t agree more on Florida. They seemed to have taken a step back which is weird because they have an abundance of top tier recruits.
