This team does not value the ball, way too many turnovers

Which one are you talking about? Younger or older? I thought younger had knee surgery?

Younger, looked like he was dressed on the sideline on the stream. Not sure if anyone here that attended the game can confirm 100%

#1, huh. That is good news, and also hopefully he’ll be close to 100% when he steps on the field. They’re going to shoot on Evan Long high all year now, unfortunately, that’ll be the book on him. Agree 100%, that is going to be the scout. Having a bigger goalie (given he can save the ball) is a hug...

Face-offs were an expected problem, but goaltending? Defense? First-team midfield? Turnovers? Some of the same old issues over the last few years are creeping up again in a 16-13 game with 4:00 left. Looks like they are still figuring out who their D-middies will be this year - SJU attacked them an...

Huge tilt tomorrow against an old CAA foe. No secret to this one, but faceoffs are going to play a huge role. Cole has been a beast for SJU and this is a huge matchup for Constantindes. Don't think we can expect anything close to a 20 goal performance again, but last week was an encouraging start fo...

Such enthusiasm :lol: Not appropriate at this time to get excited about a win vs MSM. And, yes Hopkins had a nice home win vs GT, who lost to Delaware in the tournament (first round). Is GT a top 5 team? Or, is it just on paper ? Will see, they have PENN this week. It is a shame Hopkins couldn't fi...

Route up in Emmittsburg today. Was not expecting a 20 goal outing, but good win for the Tigers

Lax Sports Network is now LacrosseTV. The old streaming link has been shut down. LacrosseTV, https://streamstak.com/lacrossetv/ LacrosseTV YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/@WatchLacrosseTV They have started to post their CAA schedule for the upcoming year. Hearing this news was disappointing. LSN h...

Looks like Towson's cross town rival matchup is no more. That's really unfortunate. https://hopkinssports.com/news/2022/9/28/johns-hopkins-mens-lacrosse-fall-notebook.aspx Very disappointing, also heard a rumor that Duke may not be on the schedule this year either. Interested to see who they add to...

Lots of info here: https://hopkinssports.com/news/2022/9/28/johns-hopkins-mens-lacrosse-fall-notebook.aspx St. Joe's and Utah added to the schedule. Towson is gone. I guess Nadelen didn't want another beatdown? I can't imagine we were the ones who initiated that especially with the game slated to b...

Not sure why everything is so secretive. The fall roster should be out shortly on the internet. Last year, it wasn't out until December. All I know we have John Kiracofe from Michigan, Cole Herbert might not be playing next season and no clue about any other transfers. Sounds like Kiracofe is the o...

It looks like they are getting a transfer goaltender, who has experience, though not great save % numbers. https://mgoblue.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/roster/john-kiracofe/22710 Personally, I'd like to see another offensive middie with dodging ability who can take pressure off of Berkeley, another DMi...

Is Fairfield not joining as an affiliate member?

I like Terry but I wonder if he had the same feeling last year when low life CAA Drexel was tied with Notre Dame with one minute left in the game? Or when Towson lost a one goal game to a far superior Big10 Maryland team in the first round a couple years back? Or Delaware losing one goal games to A...

It did seem like from the start to end, the shot selection was very poor. They never seemed to get in the flow of their offense, and they got Delaware's goalie hot from the very first shot. Way too many stick side high shots and there were certainly times they did not make the goalie work.

No Koby Smith on any team? I guess the PLL thinks differently

Problems this season? Shot selection and shooting % (27%, 55.5% on goal). Turnovers (253 in 16 games; 15.8 per game). Need to get better on the wings of face-offs and on the rope unit. Constantinides wasn't bad (45.5%), which was nearly 10% better than the year before. A lot to work on but not far ...

There were some positives this season, but finishing 7-9 overall. Losses to St. Joe's, the last game to Hofstra, inconsistencies on both sides of the ball. Can't wait for Mike Weisshaar, but there needs to some changes as well. Good luck to Shane Brennan and all the seniors in the future and Koby S...

Absolute clown show with these refs today - for both sides. Pretty clear they got the C team today
