Have never seen a Hill with poor stick stills, she couldn't get rid of the ball when any kind of pressure was put on her (this would have altered my pick had I known all this). GK change needed to be made but I don't know if they're swapping GKs per game and leaving them in there for the full sixty. Team Warden fell apart in the second half, didn't operate nearly as efficiently and smoothly as they did in the first half while Team Arsenault cleaned their act up and put it all together. Pace of the game slowed in the second half, don't know how these gals are going to play back to back to back days....it's pretty rough out there on the field too.
Learned something yesterday, never knew this.

I can’t believe how rough the play is. The Refs are getting paid to walk up and down a shortened field and make very few calls. Good gig for them. I would be very suprised if no one gets seriously hurt by the time the league concludes . Mcpartland and Appuzzo took some serious swipes last night . To name a few instances .

I saw some of that in the only portion of the one game (read: scrimmage) I watched last weekend. Would you happen to remember roughly which portion of the games these swipes you mentioned took place in? I recorded them but haven't looked at them. If not--no biggie... Thanks
I don't get where the rough stuff comes in to grow the game or whatever the catch phrase/selling point du jour is this week. If there are indeed young women watching these games, that's not a very good example for them.

I don’t remember specifically I just remember seeing it and being shocked I think one time it was on Parella running to goal.

Playing three days in a row which is bound to take its toll on the athletes bodies--it does seem only a matter of time before someone really gets injured, nor can we rule out an altercation that could turn physical. Do you think the league decided the rough stuff will help them get where they're trying to get? (Which now that I pose the question is where exactly?)

This sure made for some fantastic TV and I think the kind of play the coveted casual fan (my favorites) is looking for, or at least I think that's what the league muckety-mucks are thinking. Oh, and Wakefield's a beast!!
From my seat, I give this league an enthusiastic two thumbs up, I think they're doing a lot of things right and the athletes on the field are just out of this world good. Whether the league makes it or not is, of course, highly debatable but if it doesn't it won't be because of poor play and just mediocre players. This is, however, going to be a tough sell for the long time wlax afficionado as the game just too much resembles mlax, and I just don't think the long time appreciators of the finesse game are going to be comfortable watching this version of wlax. I do think the younger generation will though and as I've previously stated, I think this is the way they want to play the game. All that said, I don't want to see this game adopted in the college ranks, I like that game just the way it is.
I think UA is doing a good job with the broadcasts and message they're sending, they're pretty darn positive the way I see 'em. The back stories of some of the girls has been interesting to me too, you kind of "get to know" these gals a little, it's a nice touch...enjoyed the gymnasts Pirecca sisters interview, for example, the Hill interview too.
They've made a fan of the league out out me, so one down, a hundred and forty seven million to go.
