Totally agree: Players listed as Midfield that play only attack....They def have fav teams. Very biasedACClaxfan wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 4:57 pm Inside lacrosse lists are a complete sham. First off they have players listed out of position and they over represent the teams they like and under represent others. If all those players on NW belonged on the lists they should never lose a game and if UVA only has one 3rd team player they should never compete with these top teams etc.

Re: Games Today
I think MD loses 2 of the 3 following games (Mich, NU, Hopkins), no strong feeling over who they beat of the three. I think MD is the type of team who will play any top 15 team close. Their defense will always keep them in games but their offensive limitation wont let them easily win games over teams who they should beat on paper.MolonLaxe wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:53 pmBased on how this season is going so far, you're probably right.hmmm wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 1:13 amWell Michigan has to beat MD before the next poll comes out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that won't happen and NU will be back at #1 where they belong.MolonLaxe wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:05 pm Can’t wait for the next lax poll—you’ll have the media and coaches looking for any traditional power they can put at the #1 slot instead of Michigan. I’m waiting for them to bump Penn to 1 now.
The polls swing too wildly and demonstrate they don’t know how to call it.
I actually think they matchup against NU better than the other two mainly because NU struggle with bigger physical teams (read: ND and PSU). I think the Michigan game will be a super low scoring game (heard spidey set the over/under at 14.5). I think Michigan wins mainly because they will have the best player on the field in Jill Smith and should be stronger in the circle.

Six straight goals from OSU and we are tied at 8 with just over a minute left.

Wow 7-0 4th quarter for OSU. 6 in the last 6.5 minutes. Shows how the game is never over until the final whistle. Good win for OSU. Bad loss for PSU.
Re: Games Today
Classic Penn State.
Beat NU, lose the next game

Crazy that Penn State only won 5 of 21 draws. Throw in some ill-timed shots early in shot clock and numerous fast break turnovers.

Gotta give some credit to the Buckeyes Goaltender. A few big time saves in the last 10 minutes. What a disaster for “We are”.

Yeah…NU game saved Missy for a week. This game probably put her back in jeopardy.flushlax77 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:43 pm Gotta give some credit to the Buckeyes Goaltender. A few big time saves in the last 10 minutes. What a disaster for “We are”.

She definitely stood out on when they played MD. Her performance gets lost because she plays on a team that's not great.GratefulRed wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 11:38 pmAlexander has been so good--and so underrated.flushlax77 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:43 pm Gotta give some credit to the Buckeyes Goaltender.

Re: Games Today
Penn State's is now 6-5 with 3 tough Big10 games and Vandy left. Best finish will be 7-8. Doesn't deserve a bid and doesn't qualify for one with sub .500 record. Expanded Big10 conference tourney gives them an extra game, but it will be a loss or a win and loss in best case. Doesn't push them above .500. PSU is not beating Hopkins the save their season.

Re: Games Today
I watched the 2nd half of the game last night again. Nice job by Ohio State, but a total collapse by PSU. Some really bad decisions and they did not take care of the ball and took some really poorly timed shots.Seacoaster(1) wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 7:23 amJust hard to believe, and then, not so much.

Not at all. Everybody is flawed and everybody is a contender. The talent is spread around and nobody is playing at a consistent and high quality level. Probably the best odds are with a team like Penn loaded with experience and a great blueprint for consistency.

Re: Games Today
Maybe they shouldn't try to run so many isos through those 2 players? Just a thought. Defenses are too good for that these days. More about spacing than creating space for individual players.LaxDadMax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:08 pmThen who else can they bring in to create some space for Edmonson and Leubackerhmmm wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 1:11 amThat's gonna be a no from me dawg.LaxDadMax wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:19 pmThis is why Rosga needs to play. She doesn't have the technical talent that the Mays, Edmondsons and Clevengers have, but she has a great first step and quickness which is exactly what the terps need.Essexfenwick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 8:18 pm Our offense is really easy to defend. Since we are generally less athletic than the good teams we need a crisp, speedy passing offense with skip passes to Leubecker and Edmonson. Instead our passes are slow looping predictable.. and we even drop those lobs. It’s a lazy offense. It’s too late… the offense we need that corresponds with our weaknesses would have needed to be developed pre season and drilled in. Penn has a better game philosophy and blueprint with better players and more disciplined execution.
