That’s because they’re not. IL scoreboard has the score backwards….

I thought the same thing. Checked Gtown website.. score is backwards on IL.


harvard 9 duke 7 at half. If duke cant clean up their fouls, harvard should run away with it. Duke defense looks lazy. You cant foul that much on a team that scores 80% of free position.

But I’m watching this game against Lehigh which isn’t a terrible team, but they have to have about 20 turnovers already. It seems like the same kids as well. PSU d is locking down the offense. No adjustments made. I mean. Maybe there just aren’t that many outstanding coaches in womens lax and maybe they deserve a break. Idk. 6-4 6 left in the 3rd. Sure, much closer tha. It should be. Idk what the hell is wrong with Penn State. They should be much better.

A certain suit wearing coach is known to have said it's not even that hard to coach D1 wlax because most the coaches don't know what they're doing. He's got like 5 other jobs and has his own kids to work with and still outcoaches just about everyone.

No he hasn't. But let's not pretend he has the same talent level as any of these other top 10 teams. Yes, he gets some great players like Masera, Ohmiller, etc. But he's not getting top ranked recruiting classes year after year like the teams he's competing against. I'm not a fan of his personality at all, but there's no denying the guy can flat out coach.

I tend to agree. He can get it done and he’s a good coach.

Spallina's had some bad luck, too. Taryn Ohlmiller was injured in the game before the 2018 quarterfinal vs BC. No doubt the team missed her 52 goals and 55 assists. I was at the game. Stony Brook choked more than BC won. Of course it didn't help that Spallina shot off his big mouth and predicted a victory over Boston College beforehand, but that's a whole other barrel of blintzes.

I'm going UVA win by 1, in a relatively low scoring contest. I'm a big fan of Mackenzie Hoeg, very underrated and reliable player." Not many were picking UVA to go to South Bend and come out with the win and the player he highlighted went 4 for 4 in shooting with no turnovers .I watch a lot of ACC games and UVA #7 has been underrated for years and no change in this game ,played solid defense, helped in the clear ,a few caused TO's while not turning it over herself and yet little praise in the post game UVA write up. Any other underrated players you have noticed ?
Also noted that UNC was playing a zone which I do not remember them ever playing before and cannot remember the last time they put up such a low goal total against an unranked opponent.
