VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
It is an accomplishment that very few can achieve. My brother in law retired after a full career. Among his assignments was BUDS. I asked him one day given every candidate is in the top 0.01% or so what characteristic did he look for in candidates. His reply in brief was he wanted the guy who when he hit him between the eyes on day one came back early the next day ready. And when he did it again they were back the next day ready to go and every day after. Speaks volumes about the successful candidates
Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
Wow! Congratulations to a great young man! BRAVO!
It was an honor to watch him compete and now it is an honor to have such a man both represent and defend the greatest nation on the planet! Best wishes for a long and distinguished career.

Bang on, DMac.The first day, you look around and see some well-conditioned,athletic-looking chaps. Within a couple of weeks, around half the class has DOR'ed (Drop On Request) and gone back to the fleet. Mental toughness is the constant that can get a candidate get through each phase.DMac wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 12:59 pm A monumental accomplishment, you're one of a select few who make it through, congrats, young man.

Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
I am reminded of the speech given by Admiral McRaven at UT in 2014. We all need to keep the 9th lesson (hope) in mind.

Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
Admiral McRaven wrote an extraordinary book... Make Your Bed. His message centered on personal responsibility and leadership. The speech he made at "40 Acres" in 2014 was indeed remarkable. If you found inspiration in his speech spend a shekel or 2 and buy this book

Wahoomurf, great to get your first-hand perspective, including the interesting info that Dick Couch was the Honor Man of your BUD/s class. I recall reading Mr. Couch's excellent book on BUD/s class 228, "The Warrior Elite," and knew that he was a highly respected former SEAL but not that additional fact.wahoomurf wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 7:38 pmBang on, DMac.The first day, you look around and see some well-conditioned,athletic-looking chaps.

Sad to report that Naso has flipped to Duke. He would have been a good backup for Petey.

Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
Some tough Fallball tests await the Wahoos. We also scrimmage Penn State this Sunday in Washington DC area. It will be a real test for some young players at close with Ament and company being one of the top returning attack units.Cooter wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 10:24 am It appears that UVa's scrimmage with the USA senior men will be shown on LSN at 2pm, Oct 18.

Parking could be tough.
Parking on campus is limited. Upon capacity, cars will not be allowed to enter.

Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
No parking problems, although the crowd was decent for fall ball.
Starters tended to play till the end of the 3rd quarter.
UVa was behind 11-13 at the end of the 3rd.
Virginia's starters
Attack - Krauss, Moore, Laviano
1st midfield - Aitken, Peele, Bienkowski
2nd midfield - Quinn, Connor, Shellenberger
LSM - Connors, Rock
ssdm - Salade, Fox
close D - Kology, Bower, Guilieri
Goal - Rode
FO - LaSalla
Cormier had a run on the midfield and scored a nice goal in the 2nd quarter, then came in for Moore on attack in the 3rd quarter and had a couple goals.
Strange first midfield, various other people ran with Aitken and Peele in the 3rd quarter. Bienkowski looked good, had a nice goal in the 2nd quarter. I didn't notice Xander Dickson playing.
Close defense struggled in the 1st quarter. Matsui came in for Guilleri near the end of the first quarter, and Connors switched to close in the 2nd quarter to cover Ament. I didn't notice Sausted playing. Peters was in a bit..
Rode played the first half, then the Thompson's worked the 3rd and 4th quarter, and #47 worked the fifth quarter.
Shellenberger didn't score. He got a few sets playing attack behind the goal in the 3rd quarter, and I thought he looked better there than on midfield.
Kraus 3 goals
Laviano 1 goal
Aitken 2 goals
Moore 1 goal, 1 assist
Cormier 3 goals
Bienkowski 1 goal, 1 assist
Peele 1 assist
4th and 5th period scoring
Harris 2 goal, 1 assist
Cory 3 assists
Simmons 1 goal
Tygh 1 goal
Rodriguez 1 goal
Gordon 1 goal

Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
Jesus. With injuries, 3 of the top 4 Virginia guys at close were 1st years playing against Ament, O’Keefe, and Foulds which is 1 of the Nation’s top attack units. That’s a great development opportunity for them to see where they are. No wonder PSU had so many goals. Suspect we got an awful lot out of this scrimmage with so many young players in key positions.Cooter wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 8:33 pm No parking problems, although the crowd was decent for fall ball.

Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
Looks like a pretty fair summary; agreed on most points. In the 3q it looked to me like Shellenberger switched in for Moore and Cormier for Kraus, then later coaches plugged Kraus back in for Laviano. UVA coaches seemed to vary the midfield lines a lot, and I’m not convinced the offensive midfield lineups in the spring will look much like yesterday’s lineups. For example, I don’t remember seeing UVA run Conner or Cormier with Dox much yesterday, and would be surprised if they’re not often run on the same line in the spring. Looked to me like Hoos kept FO vs Arceri near 50 percent, which rarely happened last year, so I took that as a positive.Cooter wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 8:33 pm No parking problems, although the crowd was decent for fall ball.

Amazing accomplishment; and thank you for your service, Ryan. That's a serious superstar to beat out all the others who are super studs themselves.
Re: VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020
I was thinking maybe Xander Dickson would be on the 1st midfield in the Spring, doing what Herring did last year.dek wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 12:53 pm

I thought Bienkowski looked good though.
FO's looked around 50% to me too.
