Doc the one thing that I have seen from Milliman and Hopkins is that they have developed as a team We have not seen that here with Loyola

Shock is an understatement good players that have not been developed or put into the right opportunity to be successful

Almost a repeat of last year

Like Doc said same team that beat Hopkins and Maryland

Program is going in the wrong direction

Tough to watch them play

Happy to oblige, but I really don't know what to say. I did not expect a win, but I also didn't expect the disaster I saw tonight. Honestly, "effort" didn't look like the problem to me. Instead, it looked to me like we were a slower, smaller, weaker, less athletic team than the Hoyas. We were outmatched in every single aspect of the game. I don't need to list them all.

When we tied the score at 2 early in the 1st quarter, I thought there might be hope that we could keep it close. Binney's outside bomb was sweet, and we scored the second goal off of some very nice offensive movement, but after that, there was no question Georgetown would run away with it. Nearly every ground ball was an opportunity to see which team was more talented and had more energy.

As I mentioned earlier, my expectations were low entering this season, but the first two games gave me tremendous hope. Tonight was even worse than I could have imagined before the season began. Completely uninspiring.

I'll be at Ridley again on Saturday. I hope we figure some things out before we play Colgate (who came extremely close to beating Army two weeks ago - Army stole the 1-goal win on 2 EMO goals in the final minutes). Nothing we tried tonight worked.

Go Hounds!

Haberman has a couple goals in past four but looks nothing like he did early. Where is Hugh Brown and Brady West? They don’t even get on the field. I’m wondering if the long haul of a season is catching up to these kids. Fall ball, early indoor practices in January. I know that when I played the freshmen were burnt out by the playoffs. Hopefully they can get back to where they were early on.

This shouldn’t be an excuse for the upperclassmen though. They’ve been through it all and should be peaking rather than slumping. I remember watching the Dixon kid at Loyola HS. Kid was lightning and could score. I know he was hurt last year but this year he gets zero runs.

This team doesn’t seem to be having fun out there.

Dixon broke his jaw from taking a shot to the face in fall ball, I believe he’s back but he only played in one game. I think he was injured his freshman season as well so he’s redshirted and behind in development.

Hugh brown came onto campus with a pretty bad back injury and they redshirted him for the year. Other guys like mcgorry and Sullivan were injured (mcgorry is recovered but redshirting and Sullivan tore his ACL)

Brady west is available but I guess he’s not getting a lot of runs?

It’s hard to have fun per say when the team is on a losing streak

• Kamish was not in uniform. Hopefully we get him back this Saturday.
• Cottone went 7-13 at the X, which is encouraging.
• I was surprised how fast Toomey pulled Staudt, but he only had 1 save, so...
• I don't know whether or not Minicus is fully recovered, but he played great for having been out for 2 weeks.

I'll be there (in the rain). The Hounds will turn it around. New season starts tomorrow.

Is there a secret fanlax forum handshake?

Go Hounds!

I’ve been all over James this year but today he was the guy that was our best player earlier in the season. He and Poitras each had 4 goals. Minicus with 4 more. Kamish and Heuston also scored from the midfield. Seems like they limited Davis after his turnovers the past few weeks which seems smart. Pacheco got better in the second half as did the defense.

Problem is that Colgate isn’t good and we were in real trouble with a bad team at home in front of a great crown on Senior day. Colgate threw the ball away so many times. That’s not going to happen v Lehigh next week.

Congrats on the win.
