William Smith 2023

Re: William Smith 2023
That's a tough one. It is Hobart and William Smith. Originally it was two schools that shared one faculty and campus ... admissions, Dean's, sports were all separate. Now it is basically one school. But when we cheer the women's teams we cheer William Smith and when we cheer the men we cheer Hobart. And there is the non-binary move to just say HWS. So ... there you go. It was a great season. Gettysburg was just the better team today.

Southerner? I moved to Atlanta a bakers dozen years ago from NY. Still in damn yankee for another 7-12 my wife’s grandfather told me. Then I matriculate to just yankee.
Lg already replied but Hobart and William Smith colleges. Occasionally a tad mysoginistic at times you’ll find your share of guys (and women) who just call it Hobart. Weird coordinate system thing that’s slowly decaying as there’s been coed dorm buildings for 40yrs or more.

This is beyond worthy of discussing at this point and now appearing petty. Move on.RocLaxFan wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 8:59 pm Noticed the REAL refs TODAY didn't allow MM to drop her butt end of the stick before whistle on the draw. Would have been nice if the
SAME women (D1 scrubs) refs who NOT ONLY did the SJF and following day Tufts would had done the same thing today, I'm sure Gettysburg coach said something to the todays refs before the game, just as WS did about 3 seconds call in the SJF game.They sure where looking for that! Funny how things like that happen. As Paul Harvey would say "Now you know the rest of the story". GOOD DAY!!!

Better yet RLF, go get certified and 'be part of the solution' (as my old sales manager used to say). Great exercise, decent+ pay, personally rewarding, most of the time fun, and you're helping grow the game. You'll see the game differently as well.

If we need that extra push over the cliff, ya know what we do...eleven, exactly.

Decent pay? Are you currently employed as slave labor?
Otherwise agreed.

Re: William Smith 2023
I had a CO while I was an XO in the Navy who was a Hobart grad. She knew I was a lacrosse player and we discussed scores/games etc a lot. She always referred to her alma mater as simply Hobart, so when the WS thing came up I was confused. Thanks for the clarification.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 10:04 pmSoutherner?

Re: William Smith 2023
I like Wm Smith. They’ve been a great team for a number of years. I wish they’d challenge themselves a bit more in their non-league play going forward. Given the lack of competition in their league they need to play a more aggressive schedule.

Re: William Smith 2023
May change, money was I believe running a little tighter middle of last decade for athletics, all programs were sticking closer to home generally. There’s been an institutional push in Athletics from an admissions perspective, not to be Ithaca but more to manage numbers and yield. Especially in light of the surrounding area population draining.
Men’s lacrosse opened up travel a little this year, mens hockey team won a natl title and travels more, etc.

Re: William Smith 2023
William Smith retained the ball because the officials called both a foul on the offense and a foul on the defense - this went to alternating possession - that is what the signal with two fists out to the side from the official are. It would be great if the announcers knew the game better as you could actually see the calls made.

Re: William Smith 2023
Yeah... 6 hour drive. Game ended with some controversy, but teams played hard. WS had more opportunities, won more GBs and DCs. WS is fast, heavily dependent on #16 and #13. 16 had 4 Gs while being faceguarded.
Re: William Smith 2023
Agree on the scoring burden on two players. WS coach is excellent and will straighten that out over the season. I'm glad these teams played. A great OOC game for both.
Re: William Smith 2023
#13 (Danials) and #16 (Montomery) are basically dodgers. However, #26 Hannah Evans is a cutter and has scored 11 goals against good competition (Geneseo, Cortland and Salisbury) in the last three games,Agree on the scoring burden on two players.

Re: William Smith 2023
Btw congrats to Maddie Montgomery did bring the lone d3 Tawaarton nominee. Frankly I don’t know why they can’t do a D3 winner and nominees instead of nominating a player that can never possibly win against D1 players. Just nominate 10, D3, give the award out to the most deserving and have her at the dinner and acknowledge her (and D3) for 20 seconds.
