7-3 Hobart halfway thru 3rd… can’t see the ball, but can see net move!
I was worried early when I saw a wrap around goal and Christiansen and 91 (mix up Duby and Firth but one of them) were yelling at each other then Grooms on the mistake but they held it together .Laxgunea wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 2:39 pm That was messy, and we started to melt down in the 4th. But it was a win, and we didn't end up melting down. In the end, the result is a good bounce back in tough conditions. Loukas played very well. The 17+ saves were off of decent shots. I am a bit disappointed in the D for letting some of those shots happen, but overall the D seemed okay. But it was just okay. I don't think 8 from Colgate in the freezing weather is a great result. Turnovers were a problem, but perhaps that was the snow and cold conditions. And there were mental lapses late in the game. The penalty to end the 3rd was very poor game sense. We have to be mentally tougher, but also just plain smarter out there.
Now for hockey ... 7PM, the Cooler.
Looking forward to 5pm Tuesday as it's always a fun matchup with the Statesmen. The weather looks a bit better for Tuesday so good luck to both teams on what should be a very entertaining game.oldbartman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:00 pm Take the win and go thaw out. Colgate Coach Karweck got what he wanted, a game slowed down. Yet he/Gate still got the L. I will give credit where it is due. Sotiropoulus played a solid game. He had 1 bad mistake. Luckily it wasn't game changing. Clearing has to get better. It almost cost us the game late in Q4. Our 1st midfield needs to shoot better. Not sure if Herlihy is fully mended. Though dodging on that field could have been dangerous. Cornell next this Tuesday. They handled Lehigh in an efficient way.
I’m going to wear a fur coat for Tuesday’s game viewing so don’t be surprised when we shock them world Joe!joewillie78 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:20 pmLooking forward to 5pm Tuesday as it's always a fun matchup with the Statesmen.

They tried to pull a Patriots snowplow move and bring out the trucks between Q3 & Q4 for a longer break!faircornell wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:57 pm Congratulations, Statesmen! Field conditions looked a mess.
Yes!! They knew they were going to do that and ran the team in to their locker room to warm up. Didn't inform Hobart from what I could tell. Dick move imo.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 7:57 pmThey tried to pull a Patriots snowplow move and bring out the trucks between Q3 & Q4 for a longer break!faircornell wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 4:57 pm Congratulations, Statesmen!

There was a bit of desperation and gamesmanship by their HC all week and today. Time to find a new upstate dance partner IMO.oldbartman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 8:18 pmYes!!

Get Tambroni, Feds and MVA back on the OOC! That plus Cuse, Cornell would be rough but Ric Flair would approve.
Are you a 16 goal underdog? If so, then find a lounge chair poolside, with your drink in hand and tell all the reporters around you that you are guaranteeing victory. Still the greatest guarantee in all of sports.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:35 pmI’m going to wear a fur coat for Tuesday’s game viewing so don’t be surprised when we shock them world Joe!joewillie78 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:20 pmLooking forward to 5pm Tuesday as it's always a fun matchup with the Statesmen.

BigHoss, you are absolutely rights. Fear can be a great motivator, but not for holding on to a victory in lacrosse. Coach is always talking about the "underdog mentality," and they they can use more of it. To me, that mentality says "we can win" and they can believe it. And when they start to win, it says, "now for the kill." To me, this is the heart of the problem for several years. It is what is behind the failure to play 4 quarters consistently. I saw it in the last Bryant game last year, and I know they have it in them. But there is something reproducing a fear of losing. It can change, but I don't know how. The turnaround will come from the coaches and will take the full season.BigHoss wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 4:07 pm I think yesterday was an example of how this team is a bit mentally afraid to lose. That seems like an obvious remark, but you could see the shift in their mentality from trying to play their own aggressive and collective brand of lacrosse, to simply trying to hang on and not lose. If there were ten minutes left in that game, it would’ve been trouble. Anthony is such a good player, and you can see Peterkin has the potential as well and his impact will be immense. Loukas was great too, maybe an example of how it’s difficult for us to make judgements about players from an external perspective when we don’t watch the practices.
Easily. Probably closer to 3 touchdowns. You guys are great.joewillie78 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 7:33 pmAre you a 16 goal underdog?

Still bugged by what feels like all sorts of weak gamesmanship the last few years and building suspicion this isn’t a relationship worth keeping if we aren’t treated like any sense of fair competition matters and no benefit to the team for big picture or conference play. Was looking on Gate and since 1980 (division setup)oldbartman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 8:41 pmFarfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 8:40 pmThere was a bit of desperation and gamesmanship by their HC all week and today.
