Matt Moore in this case.
Matt Moore who Frank Urso called the best player he ever coached at Garnet Valley — with the game winner, a no-doubter.

And.
Conrad sure played like a first team All American in the 4th quarter.

Actually, Conrad played a great game throughout. GB's, shooting, assisting, riding, clearing, defense.
But the 4th Q he put'em on his back and the team responded.

Pity that the controversy marred the ending a bit, but (thankfully) the earlier Bernhardt goal wasn't the difference either.

I could not be happier for Ryan Conrad. Love him.. tough as nails...

Love the black cleats. Reminds me of when Riddell's and Spotbilt black cleats were king.

Yes! until Puma all whites I believe. We wore red and black unis in HS and the Riddels with the red sole were the best

MOLO:Who will win most of the face-offs? Is LaSalla ok? Recently, Janek, a reserve dm, has emerged as Maryland's top face-off man, but both Hennigsen and Shockey have looked strong at times.

I agree with them about Tillman but The irony of it all with their rep. I cant imagine Lars wasn’t gracious. Has anyone seen the post game interview with him? No one from Virginia called the game, cheated or made any dirty plays. I mean really........

Seems to me that Tillman handled the unfortunate situation well, as did a number of players who commented.

And quite a few Terp fans have as well.

It really was a shame that the game, any game, was marred by a reffing decision, or set of decisions.

But this is simply a reality of an imperfect world, especially in the binary world of sports in which one team wins and advances and the other loses and goes home.

It’s a powerful life lesson that the ball sometimes bounces your way, sometimes it does not.

How you handle both victory, but especially defeat, is the true test of character. Most of the Terp folks handled their challenge well, IMO.

1000% agree. Well said. I might add how one handles victory can be a truer test of character...

Love the pics of the Riddell coaches shoes.
If I remember right it black Riddell's and some flashy players liked those all white Spot-bilts.
Remember coach's shorts ?
