LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Reading the Diamondback wrap up of the game, this stuck out. The two-goal first quarter marked the fourth-straight game the Terps scored two of fewer goals in the opening 15 minutes. https://dbknews.com/2024/04/06/maryland-mens-lacrosse-score-recap-result-ohio-state-eric-spanos/ That's honestly unbe...

Maryland holds on 8-7. Spanos with 4 (and they poled him ), 2 pole goals, Siracusa and Erksa with the others.

This team is so careless with the ball sometimes it's aggravating.

PSU did cover him with a shorty and got away with it because of the double team support. He's done an excellent job of finding the open guy from that post move, he's just not getting the shot for himself as much. For the opponents, it is a win to be able to free up a pole on someone else, when he r...

Spanos has tried and they have seemingly figured him out. Only double when he's about to do the Moses Malone pivot in front of the goal. Otherwise so far, the defenses have adjusted to his game. He has plenty of other weapons to counter that stuff, so others could get some great looks So...I don't ...

Well it was hugely entertaining, but absolutely terrible defense on both ends...

No, because Rambo could bully a pole. Spallina doesn't have that kind of straight power bull dodge in his game.

Maryland defeats Penn State in a spectacular collapse by the Nittany Lions. I think it’s fair to say the Blue Jays will be the highest ranked B1G team in the polls this week. DocBarrister Or, Tillman figured out how to play Penn State at halftime. Tillman is a phenomenal leader of men, great recrui...

The offense looked a lot better today. Players finally got into dangerous places off ball, and they were rewarded. Seemed like the offense in the second quarter onwards really loosened up and took more shots earlier. They needed to start playing more aggressive, less mechanical, and it really seeme...

Penn State looks so damn confident. Terps look anything but.

I think both JRN and Wheels are right in a lot of what they post. There was a noticeable hole in offensive recruiting in the past few classes, and it's showing now. There's also seemingly a weird loyalty to older players that I'm not used to seeing - before, it was earn your job...now it almost seem...

Ross Scott crossed a big milestone. 100 goals scored puts him in an elite class of lacrosse player. Kudos to him for such an accomplishment. Danny Maltz just passed that milestone too. Without digging, do you know how many Terps have reached this level? At Rutgers, Ross Scott was only the 11th pers...

Ross Scott crossed a big milestone. 100 goals scored puts him in an elite class of lacrosse player. Kudos to him for such an accomplishment. Danny Maltz just passed that milestone too. Shane Knobloch has to be close to 100 as well. I would guess he's within 10-15. Very impressive for a midfielder. ...

If you don’t trust the offense, you gotta be willing to take risks and create some early offense. This team has the players to push in transition. Alviti was a transition threat at Vermont, Stamos has shown a lot of potential in transition so far, Kolar has 3 goals a year ago. McNaney has really st...

Ballgame 14-13 Terps. Maltz cans it in overtime. Man Brown was tough.

Erksa decided to take control here. Wow.

Terps look like they’re sleepwalking. And it doesn’t help McNaney isn’t seeing the ball well.
