Re: Championship — Boston College v. Syracuse

Time for a Video Assistant Referee in w. lax, if not all NCAA lax. Some horrendous calls today, even with three experiences umpires on the pitch. Game has evolved to be quicker than the human eye.

Re: Semifinal 2 -- Syracuse v. Northwestern

NU just can't help themselves with their dirty play. Completely outclassed & outcoached today. 8 cards is ridiculous. They should use the high school rule where after the fourth one the team has to play a man down for the rest of the game. Eight cards. Play four men down. I do not remember as m...

Re: Semifinal 1 -- UNC v. BC

Great win by BC. North Carolina has looked vulnerable the last third of the season. They got bit today. You have a point. There is a sports team with offices nearby the UNC lax team that had the same levels of expectation for a national title, and had four overtime games to end its regular season. ...

Re: Semifinal 2 -- Syracuse v. Northwestern

18 - 17 NU in OT. Absolute Slugfest with a ton of offense. That's what I would like to see. However, If Gary plans to slow the ball down like he did in the last SU vs UNC game you could see a 10-9 score as well. This will be interesting. Both coaches have the capability to dictate pace. It could be...

Re: Semifinal 2 -- Syracuse v. Northwestern

I'm not so sure. I think Asa Goldstock is going to have to have a save percentage greater than 50 percent. Scane is frighteningly good.

Re: Semifinal 1 -- UNC v. BC

Here's the thing. UNC has the defense to try to play some kind of novelty strategy against North. On the other hand, BC does not have a player on its roster that caused more than 13 turnovers for the season. That spells trouble. Big trouble. I think you're going to see Walter Mitty-esque performance...

Re: Unitas Stadium Meet-Up

I'd love to if there were walkup tickets. Apparently the entire weekend is a sellout (FWIW, they're allowing less than half capacity). With the possibility of thunderboomers, I'd just as soon stay home.

Re: 2021 D2 Women National Championship Tournament

This reminds me of 2019 when Merrimack, which won the NE-10 Championship, was snubbed entirely. The team Merrimack beat, Adelphi, won the natty.

Re: ~IAAM "A"~

McDonogh scores with three to go, NDP wins the next draw and the shot is saved.

McD takes it though NDP's ride, draws a yellow, then Eagles run out the clock while up a player. Final score, 8-7.

McDonogh in another tough tussle in league semifinal: it's tied 7-7 with Notre Dame Prep with under five to go in the game.

Re: ~IAAM "A"~

I think you're seeing teams catching up to McDonogh, taking what the Eagles did (i.e., win draws, shoot smartly, control pace of play), then throw it right back at them. I was impressed with the Eagles in the win over Spalding. They seemed to be able to control the pace and they played a game not un...

Re: 2021 D3 Women's National Championship

Just wondering: what happened at SUNY-Farmingdale to render their first-round game a no-contest? If this was a voluntary decision not to play (to avoid a lopsided defeat), that cannot be of consolation to Gettysburg.

Re: Syracuse 2021

Hawryschuk is a heck of a player, to be sure. But for SU to be a contender against The Blue Wall, they'd have to get a Jenner-esque level of draw controls and a save percentage of 55 percent or better. And have her in the lineup. Yes, I'm saying Syracuse has been overrated thus far this season (and ...
