Re: Hofstra
Lots of large bodies Dutch can throw out there at midfield,
offensive middies and defense as well.
So long as Tierney isn’t gun shy and too conservative.
If Mac Gates keeps it up, Dutch have a real shot.

I may be wrong but I believe Thomas Rooney transfered from Siena and Jack Rooney was at Furman when they dropped the programFarfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 5:58 pmThe Rooney brothers transferred from SBU so should generally be familiar to those on the island.

Re: Hofstra
Let’s keep in perspective. Great game by Goalie, or Hofstra loses against a D2 team basically. Merrimack Playoff ineligible for 3 or 4 years. Not sure with covid. So signing any top kids last couple years has been difficult.

Re: Hofstra
Did I blow that one completely? Could’ve sworn they came off the island but you’re probably right. Just know they kept Mack from falling off a cliff last year after Bertrand left with respect to NEC competition. Nice players either way.jersey shore lax wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 9:57 pmI may be wrong but I believe Thomas Rooney transfered from Siena and Jack Rooney was at Furman when they dropped the programFarfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 5:58 pmThe Rooney brothers transferred from SBU so should generally be familiar to those on the island.

Re: Hofstra
I think Merrimack is playoff eligible right now. Give credit where credit is due, Hofstra won the game and a win is a winjersey shore lax wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 1:54 pmThis just seems like sour grapes because blatantliam picked Merrimack on Inside lacrosseNeverplaydown wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 10:17 pm Let’s keep in perspective.

Re: Hofstra
that game could have gone south real fast for hof , but it didnt , coaches will clean stuff up
Re: Hofstra
I’m definitely looking forward to seeing a never ending
stream of large sized midfielders, on both the offensive
and defensive side.
That, and Mac Gates keeping it up, Dutch have a real shot
in this post Covid, wide open CAA.

Re: Hofstra
Speaking of size. Gerard Kane is listed as 6' 2' 225 lbs on the Hofstra website. He looks closer to 260 lbs by my estimation. He is MUCH bigger than Peyton Cormier at Virginia, who claims to be 6' 2' 230 but those in the know say is closer to 245 lbs.
Kane showed some really deft and quick hands getting off shots and even a pass behind the back to a teammate in stride. Not the fastest dude though. A full-field sprint might put him out for the quarter.
On the other side, I was super-impressed with Corey Kale at SSDM. He is only 175 lbs but plays like a beast.

Re: Hofstra
Is James Philbin injured? Surprised he's not showing in the stats after 20 goals last year.

Re: Hofstra
I have great respect for Hofstra Lacrosse and Coach Tierney. However, are his days as the head man limited? Or are they just having a bad year?

Re: Hofstra
Lacrosse Bucket,
Five ‘Under The Radar’ Teams to Watch Out For In 2023
Hofstra Pride
Last season was more or less a rebuilding year for the Pride after all the talent Seth Tierney’s program lost from its 2021 roster. Their 6-9 (2-3 CAA) season, however, featured marquee wins over Delaware and Towson in league play. Hofstra also only lost to Villanova by two. Its three CAA losses (Fairfield, Drexel, UMass) came by an average of three goals. Defenseman Bryan McIntosh is among the very few major losses for this program, which, overall brings back most of its production on both ends. That includes leading scorer Gerard Kane (23G/15A), as well as fellow 2022 CAA All-Rookie selection Rory Jones (20G/8A), and All-Conference goalie Mac Gates (180 saves, 52.3%).
With Navy, Michigan, Syracuse, Villanova, and Richmond on the Pride’s non-conference slate, they will have ample opportunities to pickup up a big win. The CAA adds Hampton, Monmouth, and Stony Brook in 2023 while UMass leaves the league. Delaware should be the favorite but after that you could make a case for a number of teams rounding out that top four. Don’t be surprised if Hofstra ends up in that group and potentially challenges for the league crown.
