Myers must be telling them to look for early offense and slow break. Good adjustments for UVA so far.

I was just responding to your post about BC's smothering defense when they made the adjustments and promptly deleted it. I like the adjustments as well, but I think UVA's going to need a full, disciplined 60mins to keep this competitive.

I could be seeing this wrong, but where is the second & third slide for BC??

Yeah, BC is really slow to slide, and UVA middies are having some success 1v1. Going to be I terrifying to see if AWW asks them to help more and earlier. Nice quarter for UVA.

For now BC looks beatable on draw and in goal. Too early to say anything more . But they do look vulnerable. And dare I say…human.

Definitely early...I feel like I'm constantly holding my breath waiting for BC to go on a run

If north & co get rolling on draw they will I’m sure !

Gotta hand it to UVA so far. Early offense is working for them, and they are succeeding in 7v7. BC with some work ahead of them.

I would’ve lost a lot of money on a bet that UVA would be ahead at the half…and had 10 goals.

Wow, was driving to Balmer... Is that real?

Or that UVA is winning the draw battle 14-7

Yes, and as someone who's been admittedly critical of UVA in the past, I very much enjoyed this half. Cavs looked gritty & tough, made timely adjustments, and appeared disciplined. I only mention it because I know in the past you've posted about not seeing much of that (grit and toughness) out of the Cavs, and I agreed with what you had said at the time.

I don't think BC played their best 30 minutes ever, but they didn't play terribly either. We'll see what adjustments were made at the half..

For as great as North is…she’s lousy on the ride . I guess she prob feels she does enough on draw and scoring .

Yep--barely veiled disinterest. She could be devastating with her athleticism if she put in the effort and used some of the keys on the ride that asst coach Apuzzo could teach her.


(Somewhere--Jersey Bill just stood up and cheered.)

I'll watch it tonight when I get home

BC grinding Cavs down with their execution. Tiring them out.

Unfortunately uva falling apart . Only thing keeping them in game is winning draw and halls average play.

[seacoaster]

Seemed to me that BC just played better defense in the third quarter, and converted their chances.

Why not have someone other than North take the draws??

Definitely not the quarter UVA wanted. I was really referring specifically to the first 30 mins in my description above. Hopefully they can keep it close in the 4th, but Caskin leaving the field assisted definitely doesn't help

BC obv will win this but they also showed some vulnerable areas . Draw circle and Goalie. Prob underestimated UVA.
You do wonder why they never try someone else on draw . Just makes sense to try a different look.

[Bart]

Why are they picking up BC so far out on the break? Easy picken

[laxer12]

UVA's transition defense has been absolutely atrocious. It feels like BC has gotten at least half of their goals off of fast breaks.

[tothedraw]

BC has a draw specialist arriving next fall. High school teamate of #20 Davis. Hasn't M Hasselbeck taken some draws this season ?

Honestly probably just an off day for North on draw. Their draw circle wasn't dominant either. They do seem to get a lot of calls tho on offence
