LaxPower Back-Up Stick

I agree with the flopping comment. This isn't the example I would choose as #35 appears to get a stick up high, but I do think diving needs to be addressed/penalized.

UNC 5 - ECU 4 at half.

Hokies 8-4 against ODU? ODU? ODU?

UNC/ECU 6-6 end of the 3rd

UNC 6 - ECU 6 at end of Q3. UNC is shooting very poorly today (6 goals on 20+ shots) - lots of high to high shots mixed in with some weak shots off the hip stick side.

7-6 ecu

8-6

UNC offense shooting badly. Really anemic.

8-8

UNC pulls away late - wins 12-9. UNC started running iso play and ECU was struggling to stop the 1v1 dodges from UNC.

Not sure I will read too much into this game as these mid-week games can be tough - especially if you are the road team.

Wow.

Unc not very good.

I would. No reason that ECU should have been within 10 ...ECU may be improving, but they were beating UNC by 2 in the 4th. Something is a little stinky in Chapel Hill.

UNC trending in the wrong direction the last few weeks. They’re not improving like you want to as the season goes on. Let’s hope they can regroup and Jenny Levy can revive them or the Cuse game won’t be very close.

Thought the table was being set for the Heels to feast on the Cuse girls down at their place.
A recipe for off your back smoked monkey. UNC would've come out all kinds of fired up after
getting beat by ECU. 'Twas not to be though. Had no idea ECU could give UNC a game, they
had the Heels on their heels for awhile. Heels got back on the balls of their feet (you allowed
to say that in wlax?) and their 1v1 game was more than ECU could deal with. Was a good game.

Not going to argue with any of that - I just think those mid-week road games can be wonky. And, technically it was stinky in Greenville.

Maybe ECU is just a great team and played really well?!?
The notion that UNC had a bad day to an inferior
team is ridiculous. Watch the game.

UNC seems more uninspired every week- surprising given their strong start. Fundamentally, their offensive unit just can’t consistently beat defenders 1:1. So much dodging in-place. One move and go! Dodge both ways!


And the shooting…

I did watch the game - have watched several ECU games this year.

Maybe UNC is intentionally sandbagging so that next year despite Chloe Humphrey showing up people will still think they aren't that good so they'll take everyone by surprise when they go undefeated for the next four years.

UNC playing without #4 on defense and #33 at midi, rumor is both are out due to injury
