LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Wow. What a warrior. Decamp gets the game ball in this one. Think you need to hand out 3 game balls. #19 Decamp gets one agreed but McKeeney #50 with 17 saves and Spencer Butler #2 with 7 goals .. all in the second half both deserve one too! Great win .... DU were down 9-4 early in third and Butler...

I think that we need to accept the current landscape of the NCAC. I hate to say this, but the vast majority of the games that Denison and OWU play in the NCAC not be close. A couple of years ago, it looked like Wooster, Witt or Kenyon could take a step forward and compete with the titans of the NCA...

I expect a close game. These teams were very evenly matched last year as the aggregate score of the 3 games was 32-31 DU's favor. I think the offenses are mostly intact from last year so it will come down to who has been able to retool the defense more effectively. Possession will also be key so the...

NCAC playoff picture will become a lot clearer after today's slate of games. Wittenberg may very well provide a tough game for the Bishops but in the end I expect OWU will take care of business. I also expect Denison will prevail against Hiram setting up a battle of the conference undefeated next Sa...

Centre's goalie is VERY good and they've had a fantastic season in and out of conference play. That being said, it's not hard to see Centre losing in the conference tournament to any of the other potential teams they might run into this year in the semifinal (Sewanee, Berry, or BSC) as close as a l...

Denison 23, Wooster 9 last night. Game was close in the first, Wooster was down 3-2 and 5-3 before face-offs and inside finishes took over. After DePauw beats Witt, it is a four team race for 3 and 4 between Wooster, Kenyon, Witt, Depauw. Wooster needs to win 2 of 3 to finish 4th, 3 of 3 to finish ...

I was at the Denison-Whittier game Saturday. Whittier was really revved up for this game, and definitely came in thinking they could make Caravana wait another week. And Denison let them believe it by playing poorly and sloppily for most of the first two quarters. My daughter was sitting with me an...

There is no easy answer. And yes conference mandates insure many good teams are forced to play “throw away” games ... shame really. But still, forgetting all together the sportsmanship aspect, what are the coaches saying to their own players at the end of the bench that are still watching at 23-0? Y...

Don’t think so because #2 assisted on the 24th goal! He obviously had several starters still playing with 3 minutes left in the 3rd while up 23-0. To that point Ferrum had taken only 5 shots and won only 3 FO .... the win had long been assured. Indefensible in my opinion. How is McCabe's behavior he...

Well said Dehunt. Congratulations Coach C, well done. Denison Proud!

Laxmarmot ..... I don’t think you read my initial post in it’s entirety. I think I even mentioned in the rebuttal you quoted that I wanted to be clear that I wasn’t blaming only J&W. The lopsided score could have been and should have been controlled by the CMU head coach. That said, I do think t...

here is a local Colorado Newspaper article.

Kind of says a lot when the coach is quiet instead o...

52-0 should not have happened! CMU Athletic Department and the school Administration has admitted as much and has apologized for in game decisions made by their coaching staff that caused such a lopsided result. I don't know what specific decisions they are referring to but I think we can all come u...

The scenery looks a lot like 2017. Denison will be the only NCAC team in the "Midwest Regional". IWU should get a shot at the Big Red for a chance at taking a trip east “Careful what you wish for ....”. Curious what you predict IWU would do with that shot at Denison this year? You say thi...

Denison scored five unanswered 4th quarter goals to edge Kenyon 15-12 in Gambier. Kenyon had been up 9-5 at halftime. Every year, Denison seems to have one surprisingly close NCAC road win over a non-OWU team; in other years it's been Oberlin, Wooster... OWU had an easier time at DePauw, up 11-3 at...

No sign of Ned; and I think we'd all know if Ned was here. Here I am! Better late than never! Thanks to Fann ... he told me about this site over on the Laxnumber site I just heard about and joined. Gosh ... i've been in withdrawal since Laxpower went down and all this time my "fix" was he...
