Have watched as many of their games as possibly for those years and have seen several in person. They are playing inspired this year and I would assume the new coaching staff and the veteran leaders have a lot to do with it. Now for the negative, lets pump the breaks on the youth movement, most appeared a bit overwhelmed in the Cuse game as did the coaches . The coaches better figure out the draw or it will be an early NCAA exit again. Seemed to have no plan when schwab gets faceguarded, no back up plan at the draw, terrible use and non use of timeouts. Also could not help but notice 2 veteran players sitting out (close to 200 goals between these middies) while a young inexperienced 2 middies (less than 20 goals between them ) were in during key moments and it cost them on both the defensive side and offensive side. If they can figure out the draw they could be dangerous.
Who are the "two veteran players sitting out"? It's okay to identify who they are. This is not the CIA or NSA. Here's the question : do YOU know why they were sitting out? Injuries or discipline? If you know, state it. If you don't, then maybe someone else does.
Your comment about the coaches being overwhelmed, comes from where? My guess is that Sonia and Michael Lamonica have seen more and been involved in more big moments and decisions as players(both were AA at MD) and coaches(4 CAA Championships, 6 NCAA Tournament appearances) than anyone in this Forum. They also didn't get a lot of so-called Blue Chip players, and yet they were successful. Just wanted to drop some facts to say that the UVa staff didn't funk Coaching 101.
Sorry but they were outcoached and overwhelmed in this one . Some of the above was clearly correct.
