It was their last appearance in Del. Statdium too and the fans really enjoy watching them play. He will have the team ready for Sunday.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 3:37 pmDo you have an explanation as to why the best players were still scoring goals at 4:31, up 24-9? why they were still in the game?Henpecked wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:49 pmMD laxMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:10 pmmmm, Tye Kurtz scored at 4:31 left in the 4th off of Mike Robinson assist...up 24-9, what were Delaware's best players doing still in the game?Laxguy703 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 1:27 pmMarist literally scored 29 goals in a game a few weeks ago.

Seriously, Robinson had 7 goals at that point and Kurtz had 4 goals and 3 assists. What, they both needed 8 points?
I understand back-ups scoring goals in the 4th Q of a blowout, only fair to let them play full speed, but what the heck are top players doing in the game at that point?
You are the biggest clown on this forum. The only time you pop up on Delaware thread is to badmouth DeLuca because he didn’t start your beloved son in goal at Harvard. Get over it. The other goalie was better. And get a life. All you do is post on this stupid forum 24/7. Please find another hobby.
I don't.
Happy to hear your explanation.
Note, I didn't characterize this as "low class", that was another poster.
I just don't understand the decision to have those guys playing at that point...do you?
You really want to get personal??
I've been clear, in detail, what a disaster DeLuca was at Cornell and Harvard, including the year after my son graduated. But I've also wished the Del program well, and he and his family well, hoping that whatever demons he has he figures out and handles better going forward.
But hey, everyone deserves a fourth chance. For him, Delaware.
If you want to re-hash all that, fine, but I think it's a dead horse.
So...how do you explain the starters racking up their 8th points each with just 4:31 left and up 24-9?
I don't get it, but maybe you do?
Did Marist "deserve" it because they'd done the same against someone else?
Is that the explanation?
At a minimum, I'd have thought that giving some of the other kids in the program some time would be a good thing.
BTW, this is a pretty darn good Delaware team, lots of talent, and as usual play hard. Not an easy out for anyone.
And I totally understand why that's seen positively by alums like you.
And I would NOT be surprised by an upset.
However, do you not understand why general lacrosse fans would be surprised to see guys with 7 points each still scoring with just a few minutes left in a blowout? Are there no other players who deserve to get some time on the field?
Again, I have no issue with kids off the bench going hard down the stretch and scoring despite no need to do so to win.
Perhaps others would have an issue with that, but I don't.
Meanwhile, I'll happily withdraw from this conversation as I think others felt more strenuously about it than I do.
