There was more of the old BC yesterday. They have firmly established North as the draw specialist. Lappin can score, certainly Urbank has proved she can score. I think they’re still figuring out their offense. Defense wasn’t bad yesterday. They allowed only six goals. Rachel Hall looked good in net after a shaky first few minutes. They also showed signs of the old ride from the Apuzzo era. There is a drop off, no doubt, but it will be interesting to see how they grow as a team as the season progresses. Coach Acacia certainly has her philosophy that she is instilling in the players.

Apparently the crew of referees who called the game in Jacksonville vs Michigan were determined to enforce the rules. A whopping 17 cards were issued! 14 to the players, 2 of which were green, and 3 to the teams. I guess the refs weren’t taking any lip from the sidelines either!

That would make an interesting game...I think after 4 cards, the penalties are non-releasable....lots of EMO (EWO for those who care).wlaxnut wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 8:12 am Apparently the crew of referees who called the game in Jacksonville vs Michigan were determined to enforce the rules.

EWO. What meanest thou?
Re: Miscellaneous questions, thoughts, impressions, etc.
EMO...extra man offense.
EWO...extra woman offense.

I look forward to the day when we can scrap the whole gender construct and just say “player advantage”
Re: Miscellaneous questions, thoughts, impressions, etc.
Why? There's the men's game and the women's game, two different games played by two different genders.
EMO (or man up/man down), EWO for the ladies.
Further, player advantage could mean I've got Charolette North and you don't.
Re: Miscellaneous questions, thoughts, impressions, etc.
Idunno—I just think it sounds awkward when you try to fit female gender speak into male gender speak or even worse, neutral gender speak. I read an article in the Boston Globe a few weeks back where the writer, Tara Sullivan, actually wrote “unsportspersonlike”

Just listened to a new podcast that goes over several of these past weekends games. Going to be a weekly podcast. Link below for the lax nerd

Interesting! Please give us a synopsis. Do they speak on the women’s game? How long is the podcast? Do they encourage people to contact them via social media or otherwise?Lax247 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 11:25 am Just listened to a new podcast that goes over several of these past weekends games.

5 of her players played on Colorado team. She and Jamie Munro discuss Colorado/florida game, NU game and the Sb/SYR game. They also discuss recruiting. It was pretty interesting if you are a lax aficionado like me
What is considered a blowout in women's lacrosse?
I feel like I asked this question before but I forgot what the consensus was.
Is it 10 or over? Anything over 6? What do you all think?

Got a strong feeling Stonybrook is going to finish the regular season undefeated. potential repeat of 2018.....
Re: Miscellaneous questions, thoughts, impressions, etc.
Princeton may want you to think about it some more....all kidding aside, that will be the only hurdle to being undefeated.

I did actually look at them, Doc, but then I saw that the game was in New York, so…Dr. Tact wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 5:32 pmPrinceton may want you to think about it some more....all kidding aside, that will be the only hurdle to being undefeated.
