LaxPower Back-Up Stick

UMDs extra man D is horrible.

How bout a long pass to the uva goalie. Opposing attack times devastating smash hit as the ball arrives. Set play.

I wonder if Tills will practice an offense for the open net ride. Position long stick players identified in as the most accurate and practice field length shooting from advantageous angles

Back to Maryland 2024... AJ Larkin, playing more on face-offs and looking great. The Vermont 3...Terps aren't getting to the final 4 without them. McNaney made a bunch of saves in the first half that kept the game in reach. Nothing spectacular, but shots that easily could have scored and not been c...

The thing about woman’s lacrosse is that to me only the championship makes a successful season. For a certain few teams--absolutely. Only a national championship ultimately makes a successful season for these teams--Boston College, North Carolina, Maryland, Northwestern... I don't know who else get...

The thing about woman’s lacrosse is that to me only the championship makes a successful season. The final four means more in the grueling men’s lacrosse gauntlet. I’d just as soon not make the tournament than get boat raced like BC last year in the finals. The Terps are not contenders in their prese...

Hopkins almost totally stole one. The goalie was superhuman.

The goal was in the crease.

Spoiler alert. It’s a good omen for a Terps victory if..

1) Maltz gets a ground ball.

2) Brennan scores.

This is his best coaching job ever. It’s really a team with a lot of holes and held together with tape, glue and caulk. The constant dropping of passes, some players lollygagging with no awareness plus aversion to physical play is never seen in a Tillman offense and something this group really can’t...

Whittier's skip pass to Maltz was just a thing of beauty. It gave me flashbacks to Kyle Long. Having Whittier getting some confidence back is huge. He's a guy who can beat defenders. He played well against Princeton and carried it over today. You also can't underestimate the effect of scoring will ...

You could see the experience down to the end of the game. Nobody seemed to panic. Syracusa just kept going after all his turnovers. Didn’t let it get to him. They’re gonna to have to play deep into the roster (Brennan, Stobaugh, etc.) to go all the way. and Koras turnovers and Kelly turnovers and M...

I hate to say this, but with Weirman and the rest of this Terp crew, they could win this whole thing. DocBarrister :? Hate to say this, but they will play UVA next. Then, if lucky, Notre Dame. They ain't winning this, but no other coach would get this team of misfits to the final 4. Tillman's best ...

So Luke Wierman is not 1st team AA?

Both teams are capable of sucking

I actually think Terps have a better chance of a surprising upside with the reshuffling

This game is like the USSR playing the People’s Republic of China. You can’t root for either one. You want both to lose. And they are both inherently evil to an extent. What to do? 🤷🏽‍♀️ DocBarrister 8-) Duke will always be the most inherently evil school ever. Hoops lacrosse graduation ceremonies....

Sad it didn’t get called a card even as a UNC fan, but also players make mistakes but her frustration losin...

What an odd way to phrase that. UNC isn’t injuring their players. They’re getting injured.

Good point. I meant that UNC seems cursed by injuries.

Why is UNC injuring so many? It’s like a curse.

I’m thinking maybe Florida breaks through this year.

Offensive coaching turnover. This could take a few years to resolve. Tillman was lucky to find Phipps at the last minute. I think this group needs a screaming, table flipping, highly emotional coach right now. Like true middies, the team doesn’t have that. This offense had a lot of time to get read...
