Navy 2023

[gymman1031]

Great win! Missed the game. Did Loyola have a chance to tie at the end?

[youthathletics]

Back in October, I guessed a Win, (9-8) Fri., Apr 7 at Loyola

Who do you have, gymman?

11-10 Navy. They sure made it harder for themselves. Coach missed a TO when 26 cleared it and was smoked wirh under .45 sec.

There goes Loyola’s bid chances.

Say what ?

On to Loyola Friday evening. Liking Navy's chances a lot more now.

Agreed - others are stepping up as Skalniak, Swanson & Arline are not currently involved (?). 'hounds see this as 'must win' and feel the pressure from their base for this in state and PL matchup. Ridley is a tough venue - given recent trends take Navy 12 -10 upset over Loyola!

Outstanding win for the Mids! Wish I had bet the game!

[The Orfling]

Pat RYAN. (And Tolker and Hewitt and Hovivian and Ghobriel.) Not sure why Navy didn’t call a timeout and tell their guys to stop taking the bait of taking 30 yard shots at the open net, but it worked out. And super impressed with Navy’s composure after Loyola got 3 quick goals to start the fourth.

Congratulations to the Mids! Keep it rolling, boys.

Assuming they (Loyola) don’t win the PL, their QW over Terps and JHU, is diminished by the loss to Navy.

Pat with 23 saves is unreal. Sure wish our shooters from outside could hit the broad side of a barn on a regular basis. They start dropping a few more of those shots, and we might start scoring on avg more than 10-11 each game.

My ? was not about that. Sorry for the confusion.

We now need Loyola to win out to help us in seeding for the PLT.

Roger that.

Jobu working for Navy, Army, BU & Loyola to finish 6-2 & Lehigh 5-3 in PL. Big mojo.

When Jobu comes out on behalf of Navy MLAX, that's when things start hopping. Really still enjoying that win again today. So many good moments to mentally replay.

Did anyone notice if #24 was suited up ? #28 & #29 were on the sideline in sweats.

[essorcalveritas]

To answer a previous post, it appears 24 did NOT suit up for the Loyola game.

Given the past two games (both big wins against Top 20 teams), it seems reaching the PLT is much more reasonable at this point in the season. I also think it is realistic to hope for a 2-1 record going forward this season. I realize one can take nothing for granted but the team seems to be figuring things out at the right time (especially learning how to win close games).
What other results in the PL should the Mids be hoping for to get the most favorable seed in the PLT? Any realistic chance of getting a home game in the first round?

It is wide open right now....Would need to be the 3 seed to host the QF game. I believe to get the 3 seed, as it stands now, we just need Lehigh to lose a couple more games, Navy wins out and BU wins out. If both BU and Lehigh lose a couple more and we win out, we could end up the the two seed. If not mistaken, If Army falls to Navy and BU, and we win out, and lehigh does not tie our record, we could actually end up the 1 seed.

Send Jobu more Rum and Cuban Cigars. !

If Navy plays the way they have been recently, they should be okay. But Lafayette is much improved, and this could be do or die for them regarding conference tournament hopes.

A little ink on Navy, from IL today: https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/ ... wins/61160

Lafayette can play, inconsistently....like someone else we know. Only lost to BU by 2.

I'll ride on my October predictions:

W (9-8) Fri., Apr 7 at Loyola
W (12-10) Sat., Apr 15 vs Lafayette
W (11-10) Sat., Apr 22 vs Army
W (12-7) Fri., Apr 28 at Bucknell

Score predictions Navy/Lafayette ?

Score predictions Navy/Lafayette ?

Navy by 3.

[gymman1031]

Navy should be okay against Lafayette. But:

1. They must avoid a letdown.
2. This might be a must-win for Lafayette regarding their hopes of making the conference tournament.

Lightning delay. Swanson possible on EMO.
