K. Hoeg comes to mind as well.

You beat me this time

Her presence on the field made the game 7 vs. 5.5, so to speak, and created enormous room for the Collinses and the Harris kid. In a sport with flow, you can make a difference without the stats that are so important to the radio jockeys.

This is where the "hockey assist" comes into play too which shows up nowhere in stats.
Mentioned this in the great CN debate as she too gets the D out of whack when she has
the ball....dishes, one more pass, shot. All created by that 7 v 5.5, so to speak.

Having an AA crease/GLE attacker makes an average team good., a good team great. Offenses that run schemes from X and that have that dual threat attacker are extremely hard to stop. Especially if they have soft handed top and elbow dodgers.

ie, "creasebeast" see Rosenzweig sisters, Ohlmiller as well.

See also Ortega, very good elbow dodger.

In fact, since I had time on my hands today as well was looking at overall NCAA points leaders
2022 should be an interesting race to see which player ends their career top in points. North and Ortega about even in total goals, Ortega ahead by about 40 points. I dont think there is anyone actively playing who is close in overall points...Rosensweig?

Yes! Aly Messinger too. She was so fun to watch. Very smooth stick skills, deceptive, and a fatally quick first step. Kayla Treanor, Halle Majorana, Katrina Dowd, Katie Hoeg...the list goes on.

Messinger was great but Treanor imo the best.

Hoeg terrific behind X

I never thought of Navy as having a Big Three. But you guys are right – that’s exactly what they had for those two years. Plus as wlaxphan said, they also had a good supporting cast—one of whom was another personal favorite player of mine—Andie O’Sullivan.

K-Train.... It was a really good nick name. You couldn't stop that train when she started to crease roll

Ditto - I should have said a few that quickly came to mind but Hoeg dominated at X and was one of the best feeders in her time...and for the casual/wikipedia/sports radio fan, feeder doesn't equate to assists.

Too bad you feel like that. That's precisely what I was trying not to do. A guy can't win for losing around here. If I bail on the discussion you say I can't take the heat. If I stay and debate--now I'm trying to get your goat. A guy like wlaxphan stays in there with me and he doesn't effect a condescending tone and I learn from him because he's patient to explain things. You guys ought to try it, then maybe our discussions would improve.

You weren't debating, you were shouting (w/o caps) that your opinion on the Collins twins didnt have room for a Larkin explanation. I have actually been one of the folks on this site who until now, havent beat you up publicly. You seem to still be chafed about my John Sung comments. I dont have time for your "expert analysis" that grabs the low hanging fruit (stats, pictures and videos) that makes you feel knowledgeable and in the in-crowd.

ONW, you have been told by many people that you are abrasive and talk (post) to hear yourself talk. I dont need your agreement with me, I dont need your approval of me, I dont need your comment on my daughter or her team "Choking" or being "Massacred", I dont need your snippy answers that you of course fact check to convince me of your argument. I DONT NEED YOU. Sorry that you dont have the self understanding/awareness of what you type. A suggestion, how about reading what you type a few times before you post and think if you are provoking or being controversial.

I am sorry that you feel you cant win for losing...I just dont know what to say that others havent already beat to death.

So if you and others are so convinced that you have me and all my ulterior motives figured out--why do you continue to engage me? Why do I even warrant the time it takes to type responses--yours or anyone else's? I can't for the life of me figure that out. Why not just ignore me? It would be better for all of us--I'm sure. I wrote that post about Navy this morning not in response to anyone or anything. Yet you engaged me on it, and it turned into this. You say my act is so well known on these boards, so why do you and others even bother to respond to my posts? Makes no sense to me.

[OuttaNowhereWregget]

I dont need your comment on my daughter or her team "Choking" or being "Massacred"

And just to clear my name of this slanderous charge, I have never said anything negative about your daughter on these boards—not ever and you know it. In fact the total opposite is true. And I apologized to you and others over a month ago during my well deserved time in the “sin bin” for my hurtful remarks regarding the Loyola/Syracuse game.

You are correct. Feel vindicated. I got on a roll and the comments in red were not truthful.

[OuttaNowhereWregget]

Thank you. I appreciate that. And I have no idea what part of the yard the hatchet is buried in. Clean slate.

You had me at "hello" ... I will add that great feeders often set other players up for FPSs and that certainly does not show up on the stat sheet.

Okay, this one goes wayyyy out there on the miscellaneous side.
For you Bloody Mary drinkers out there who have a couple/few cherry tomato plants growing in your garden(s) and are suddenly overrun with the little red tasty treats (although not as tasty as the grape tomatoes, of which I'm closing in on a couple thousand of), put 'em in little baggies and freeze them. They freeze like rocks which you can use for ice cubes in your Bloody Mary. I know, I know, this is very imaginative and just short of genius. If entertaining and serving those to your guests I'd be surprised if you didn't get a, "very cool, have never seen that before" comment. Tip for ya, if you start getting full from eating too many of the Bloody Mary marinated tomatoes, switch to Club Soda. I'd go with a twist of lime with that but suit yourself.
You're welcome.

so is it vodka and frozen tomatoes or vodka, bloody mary mix and frozen tomatoes? What about celery ice cubes? olive ice cubes?

[DMac]

Disclaimer, I'm not a liquor drinker. I learned many decades back that when I don't drink liquor no cops show up and there's no trouble. When I do, well, it's a bit of a different picture. Don't know anything about mixing drinks but I would think you'd go with the Bloody Mary mix and do everything the same as you normally would but just use the frozen tomatoes rather than ice cubes. Then again, there are no rules so whatever strikes your fancy, give it a shot (no pun intended there).
