Colgate 2020

[molo]

I was in the car and listening to, not watching, on my way home from class when I heard that Gate was covering Sowers with an attackman in the fourth quarter. From what I could tell, I don't think he went over the line on a ride and got stuck in on d. It seemed intentional. If so, it was the most innovative coaching ploy I've seen since last year when Princeton, who couldn't buy a face-off, decided to go double shorts on the wings.

It’s true, Petkevich was covering him. Maybe they wanted someone who could match Sowers’ change of direction? Petkevich has played middie, so defense isn’t foreign, but covering the best college attackman with an offensive player is a tall order. Btw, shoutout to Baddley, seemed like he was everywhere tonight.

Baddley plays his heart out. Running both shorty and LSM though, has to be wearing him down.
The rest of the defense, ?????? Are they still trying to figure out personnel?
Allowing switches on an AA attackman? Open cutters on the crease? FO wing play? Other than Baddley, no pressure between the lines?
6v6 D is confused....
60 goals, 3 games. It would be far worse if goalie play were not outstanding.

what happened to Messineo on D? He had an outstanding first year and gets almost no PT since?

Gate goalie played well but must be bruised . his defense has him getting stoned with lacrosse balls

In 2018 , Murphy’s last year the Colgate defense was statistically ranked in the bottom 10 in D1 for team defense.

The new coach would be a fool not to try find the answer with new people on D. He’s a good coach with a solid future.

Colgate is 0-3. Played 3 top teams. Colgate is and always will be a mid to low level PL team. They compete with the bottom half of D1

First two points are valid. Third is incorrect, uninformed and unacceptable.

Monitoring this from the Hobart thread ... I'll tell you one thing, no one there is underrating Colgate. The general consensus is that Saturday will be a very tough game. I agree. Someone might say Hobart competes with the bottom half of D1 too. That is true some years. But for the record, I think we could be a top 20 team this year. I think Colgate could be too.

Granted Colgate plays a tough schedule but this team could very easily be a zero or one win team
Hopefully a win against Lafayette or HC
Effort seems to be there
Coaches look lost
Keep rolling out the same thing and keep losing
Let’s at least see some different guys , schemes etc..
tough to be a fan

Colgate is a very solid team and looked very well coached when I watched them play Navy. Their offense is very dynamic, off ball movement is impressive...which is hard to orchestrate. Defense also looks sharp, sure, they gave up a bunch of goals, but the goalie was also having a tough day as Navy was getting some close ranger shots in transition and he was being put in a tough spot.

+1. They are indeed...Kudos to Karweck, especially considering their SOS @ #7 (Massey) this season w/ OOC opponents #6 UNC; #3 Syracuse; #4 Princeton...and playing #29 Hobart is no afternoon stroll along Taylor Lake either.

Beginning to see the progress on a game by game basis.
The shifts in personnel appear to be taking shape and team energy is higher, from the appearance on the field anyway.
The talent is there to win if the team can put together 4 quarters of play.
