I wouldn't go so far as to say that we in the stands know what the right moves might be in terms of personnel, as we are very likely to not have any solid insight as to what goes on in practice, who is ready and who isn't. I know I don't have that insight.Mr3Putt wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 2:52 pmThat is a good point. Shots taken etc. & angles. So, let’s leave out VMI from 2018. The last 4 games , 3 from 2018, they have given up 47 goals. Close to 15.5 goals a game. Something has to change. Right? You don’t need scatter charts to realize things have to change.youthathletics wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 2:06 pmYou also have to consider where those shots are coming from. As a coach, we use a scatter chart after film is broken down to see the yardage and angle of shots, saves, goals.Mr3Putt wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 1:42 pm Don’t like to pinpoint kids. But, people are in la-la land if you think it’s just defenders in front of him. Go back & watch the game vs ND @ Klockner last year. Or look at this weeks stats. 17 goals on 40 shots, 6 saves. It’s something to take a look at if your making adjustments. What can we do to make stops on one side of the field.
But, sure, these stats definitely need to improve...a lot... in order for UVA to win against strong opponents.
The differential is all the more striking when the opposing goalie is lighting it up.
I agree about the scatter plot, but I think you'd find that UVA's pattern of shots were not more advantageous to a tender than were Loyola's.
One goalie was hot, the other was struggling to get a save.
To be fair, Stover is a talented, mature tender who has a lot of miles behind him.
He's had his share of rough days along the way.
But right now, he looks ready to have a terrific senior season.
