Georgetown vs Virginia in Qrtrs

[Woolax]

Do Hoyas have a chance? In UVA's three loses they were "held" to: 13, 14, and 14 goals so Georgetown may have to win another shootout like they did against Yale.

No way that's going to happen. Have you seen Georgetown's offense? There's going to be a lot of action.

i'd say looking at results it's at least a possibility. which of their games have been overly impressive offensively?

they may be in their groove this weekend, but i wouldn't say any result is out of bounds.

Whichever keeper shows up will determine this one...can't wait!

The ride ends for the Hoyas this weekend. Lasalla will dominate FO, and Georgetown will push tempo in response to fewer possessions (good luck getting Dordevic to play 60 second possessions), which plays into UVA’s hands. Last time these two teams met, UVA took them to the woodshed 14-3.

Reilly’s health may be the biggest variable for either a close game that goes either way or a comfortable UVA win.

Maybe so. How's this...to win, GTown D and goalie need to play better than they did vs Yale...broad enough for ya?

tech, does one ticket cover both games?
(not going, just curious)

In fairness that game was back in 2021. Reilly got knocked out on the first possession and that seemed to take the wind out of Georgetown's sails. This Georgetown team is almost completely different to that one. I do think the Cavs win but not sure it will be such a cakewalk.

On any given day, anyone can win. I am sure the Georgetown staff is still smarting from that game 2 years ago, but this is a very different Georgetown team so not sure it translates to the players as much...... I feel like we are playing some kind of ACC all star team with all the ex UNC, Cuse guys in key roles. They have all played against Virginia before and won some of those games. They won't be in awe from the 1st face off on.

St. John’s (0-14) had their highest number of goals for the year against Georgetown. I’m going to go ahead and assume that the Wahoos could play their substitutes and score the same if not more as SJ. I can only imagine UVA’s starters if Lasalla goes off at 60%+.

As far as Gtown’s offense, Yales defense provides us no benchmark at all, since they also gave up 20, 17, 23, and 19 over the season.

This circular logic is of very little value. Is the fact that Georgetown destroyed Loyola, who beat UMD - who beat UVA give the Hoyas an edge? Of course not. Let’s please not use the SJU game and Yale’s highest goals allowed over a full season as a benchmark for what will happen Saturday.

Maybe so. How's this...to win, GTown D and goalie need to play better than they did vs Yale...broad enough for ya?

i'd say.
reilly being able to compete may help.

could be wrong, but it'd seem the hoos' kryptonite has been slow starts. hoyas' best bet is to come out early and get some semblance of a lead. a run will come, but they could then weather it. control the pace in that event as well. if uva smokes early, not a team you want to try to come back on.

Even when UVA doesn’t come out hot, they seem to deflate other teams (Maryland and Duke being the exceptions). Against ND, score was 4-4 at half, but it felt like UVA was ahead. ND looked defeated as soon as the second half began.

Reilly's health will definitely be a factor. Even so, he may be able to tie LaSalla up enough to win his share and, maybe more importantly, stop the threat of fast breaks off of the FO.

Thanks

Enjoy the games. If your heading N, think you'll like Albany's stadium, if you haven't been.

The season should be reviewed overall. In retrospect, GT's first three games give a good idea about the team's quality: not as good as ND, equivalent to a solid JHU, and probably unlucky against Penn. GT's best games were against Denver. Whether that's the result of Denver-specific matchups or late season improvement isn't clear. I am unsure what to take away from the GT-Loyola game, but Loyola looked thoroughly outclassed by Army in their last game.

GT will score against Virginia's defense, which has improved from porous to serviceable. That "serviceable" level of defense is far superior to anything Yale could muster this season, and Virginia's offense is even better than Yale's. Think it's just as likely we see Virginia's backups getting playing time as GT winning.
