Gotta love Levy, nice shot.
2-2
2-2
Close game at the half 5-3…. Team Jo almost won that half .
Yes, think it was Gilbert who scored on the fast break for Johansen. Levy was wide open on the doorstep, should've passed it to her.Laxfan500 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 5:47 pmClose game at the half 5-3…. Team Jo almost won that half .
Some of these kids will shoot no matter how wide open a low attacker is. Crazy . 13 TO combined . Goalies making a few decent saves . But some weak shots…no wonder goalies are the big points-getters for this league .
My guess was there was no jersey #88 and it was a rush order from the brand who either messed up the coloring or it was the fastest option - especially if it was only a single jersey that was ordered.
I try to like Joe B but find it difficult. Agree with all of the above, and as a side, in case you don't know, the Tewaaraton is the equivalent of the Heisman.Brownlax wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:59 pm I’ve always been a fan of Joe Beninati and think he does a very good job, BUT he needs new material:
1. 60 second shot clock
2. Thanks to our technical crew
3. We are at US Lacrosse Headquarters in Sparks Maryland
4. And the constant talk about Charlotte North
He repeats the same thing multiple times and repeats it in every game. As a fan of AU it gets really old quick.
Maybe we should just turn the announcing into a drinking game where your take a chug every time he repeats himself.
Yeah I mentioned the "shout out to the men and women of our technical crew" earlier in the thread. As a Caps fan, I hear that a minimum of 3 x 82 games. Old....BTW, he talked about "Over and back" tonight...not a part of the women's game.Brownlax wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 6:59 pm I’ve always been a fan of Joe Beninati and think he does a very good job, BUT he needs new material:

Top 5 League Leaders in Pts after 4 Games: (Goals/Assists)Mrs@inthe8m wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 2:54 am I’m enjoying AU again this summer, have watched about 80% of play so far. I like the college game better no doubt, but this is fun for the summer. Side note, I do not enjoy watching Sixes at all and am a little sad that is the version of lacrosse being put forth for the Olympics.
Apuzzo is my favorite attacker, but I think North is doing just fine - better than fine, actually - and has had some amazing plays so far. Teams appear to be paying close attention to her, which has opened up opportunities for others. True she only shot .333 tonight but Mastroianni shot .29 and Ortega only .25. North has 9G 5A so far and Ortega has 6G 5A for what it’s worth. Gilbert is also doing well with 10G and only 1A (does not get bashed for being only a goal scorer, though). Looking forward to the remaining games this weekend. I see Team Appuzo doing well again.
Are you sure about North's stats? When I click on her profile I see 9 goals, 5 assists. When I view AU stats I see Gilbert leading in goals with 10 and North in second with 9. Am I missing something? Stats aren't everything, and I get that some people gush about various players to a level that is annoying. My daughter's style and strengths are more like Ortega's, not North's, so I definitely appreciate how Ortega plays and have always thought she's a great player. North is also great and fun to watch.LaxFan2000 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 9:40 amTop 5 League Leaders in Pts after 4 Games: (Goals/Assists)Mrs@inthe8m wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 2:54 am I’m enjoying AU again this summer, have watched about 80% of play so far.

I stand corrected North has 9 goals, and is tied for 1st with Majorana and Apuzzo. For some reason the leaderboard only shows her with 6 goals, but when you click on her name, she has 9 goals.Mrs@inthe8m wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:32 amAre you sure about North's stats?

I see the issue. Two point goals are counted separately and North has 3 of those. The points system adds a layer of confusion.LaxFan2000 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 10:38 amI stand corrected North has 9 goals, and is tied for 1st with Majorana and Apuzzo.
