Tierney second team AA?

Yes! It's a lot "easier" to get AA recognition on a top 5 team. Tierney made Hofstra relevant.

Did he made the team better?

Of course.

I guess the kid on LIU should be AA he made that team relevant

can i assume you like nichtern there?
and that you'll similarly be on carraway soon?

Believe me I understand how people that haven't seen all 3 play every game would pick the kid that shoots from his ass and makes bounce passes for assist


Tierney against teams 500 and above 3.71 points per game, against teams that made tournament 2.5 per game
Tierney SH SH% SOG SOG% TO
138 31% 85 62% 4 per game
Nichtern 78 33% 54 69% 2.5
Carraway 153 33% 100 65% 2.6

Nichtern against 500 and above 4.77 points per game, against team in tournament 5.0 per game
Carraway 3.5 2.6

Just saying if kids are going to work their ass off all summer and fall to get better year to year. maybe people on committee can respect that and put a little more time in selecting AA teams.

Nichtern is not better then Sowers or Tierney. Third team is an appropriate spot for Nichtern.

He double bageled in two critical games against Loyola and Navy this year, and he was also blanked against Penn in the 2019 playoffs. To be considered one of the top 6 attackmen in the country you can't really afford to have those vanishing acts.

I don't disagree but Tierney had 1 goal and 1 assist against Delaware, 0 goals and 1 assist against Drexel, and then double bagel against Delaware in CAA SF's. 6 goals in key final 5 games for Hofstra down the stretch trying to make the tournament and 3 of them were against Fairfield. He vanished too.

I'm not sure when the selections were actually made, but I'd have a tough time with the 1st team pick going to McElroy...going into the tournament he certainly had sky high saves %, but no longer the best of the goalies facing toughest competition. But maybe it was selected earlier. Definitely in the top cadre though.

Whilst there are several deserving goalies, I disagree with this. You can't let one recent game override the body of work, and he was hung out to dry by his defense against UVA. He's still right at the top of the save% and GAA leaders, and he's terrific out of the cage (I believe he has 3-4 assists on the year as well), and this is all no fluke after he led the country in save percentage in the shortened 2020 season as well. Again, there are others who have strong shouts for first team (namely Kirst and Entenmann), but McElroy is by no means someone who doesn't deserve the honor.

I remain puzzled at what Will Perry has done to tick off voters; he's been the most consistent and most productive offensive UNC player behind Gray this year. He has sky high point totals, great shooting percentage, and one of the lowest turnover totals you'll see out of a first line middle. Too many people voting are going off of past rep or dinging him because his game doesn't translate as well to the pros; they saw Cook and Anderson drafted in the PLL and just assume they must be better even though on the field this year he's been the guy.

Perry is certainly showing up today

Terpslax1991 wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 8:35 am Why did they vote for these last week? Does anyone have any doubt after the last 2 weeks that Makar and Grill should be 1st team AA? How did Giles Harris win the D player of the year?

They should change that.

Please stop with the Rutgers BS you will ever be an elite team even with six year guys on attack.
