Solid game all around for the Spartans today. Cabrini was simply not on the same level as York today their good freshman and leading scorer had 1,1 until late in Garbage time. Could not handle Yorks offense and their goalie situation is a mess.

You clearly didn’t watch the game if you’re saying that nonsense. Face offs killed Cabrini as they went 2/9 in the 1st quarter. The score at the end of first was 5-4 York and Cabrini goalie had 5 saves, which included 2 point blank saves and then an additional 4 in the 2nd. The extra possessions York had killed Cabrini as they never got a spark going. I’ll tip my cap to the York fogo, he was very good and dominated all day. It was a very good game until the flood gates opened up in the middle of the 2nd, you can’t play that much D in may and expect to win. Cabrini has to do better. It seemed as if McManus and the freshman didn’t get many opportunities. Good luck to York!

This was an impressive win that gives me a lot of hope for tomorrow! I'm not a Tufts fan at all but I am in the camp that it is their Championship to lose.

I think York has a great chance tomorrow if they have the right game plan.

I would like to congratulate all of the York posters for creating 38 pages of diarrhea of the mouth this year.

Oh I had a pretty good view. Score was 17-6 when York subbed out the defense and offense. The difference in my view was the discipline that York showed all over the field. The Cabrini fans I spoke to during the week were talking up their offense and their great fogos but the faceoffs were where York simply pulled away in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
York was better prepared for Cabrini's changes, they knew when the shifted to zone and how to attack it they made an adjust on man down after Cabrini scored on their first and they forced a turnover. While Cabrini had zero answers for York EMO.
Don’t get me wrong Cabrini has some good players but they are a far cry from the National Championship team they were and I do not see how they hat back k to that level.

Break a leg against Tufts! Our Cavs didn’t have it this year. Evident from the Lynchburg game forward IMHO. Not enough dawg in their make up. Not enough cohesion amongst the personalities either. Those years happen. Anyway, love what y’all put together this year. Give ‘em hell!

Thanks Piccoli, that faceoff tandem Cabrini has is second to none with the 1st and 2nd nationally in %. Having a strong faceoff man is paramount. Having 2 to play on style matchups is fantastic. Do you know if either, or both, are returning?

DiTrolio is fantastic isn’t he? Man, I hope they’re coming back. Not a clue.

I guess we will see what York has for Tufts today. They have to win faceoff’s possess the ball, do not let them run in transition and do not allow them big runs.

Ok….?

Tufts was the better team, not just today, but every day against every team this year. Kudos to them. Tufts is a premier program, and York wants every opportunity to prove themselves against the best. They wanted a chance to earn back their previous loss since the day it happened. They couldn’t do that today.

Savvy? Or still struggling?

Nice job York. Great season and just ran into a wall today but they should be proud of the season they had

When are you going to start the York 2024 thread?

You won’t admit it now given today’s result, but we both know that wasn’t why you made that comment.

At first I thought you were honestly confused. Now I see you were just being a d*ck.

Good day, troll.

Well I was wrong.

I felt that it would be a long shot but I am surprised how lopsided it turned out. Looks like it was basically over at the half.

York took a step back this year but if they can flip a few of those close losses next year and get better seeding they should be in a good position to bounce back.

You have no idea what you are talking about. York Constantly tries to improve their schedule and will play anyone anytime.

Just press save on the post you had drafted about all the lessons the York coaching staff learned from the first match up and how Tufts’ style is flawed compared to York’s disciplined and boring style, etc….maybe you can use it someday.

After watching that disaster, I am going to be as honest as I can with this York squad. Not trolling. No matter what the game play would've been, Tufts would have won. They are simply better in every category. That might not be a factor in all games. But it is the fact how consistent they are that wins them these games.

The attack was very nervous for their matchups, and I can tell. 4 and 28 did not play their best. 28 was a basic lock for Tufts unlike the first goal. 4 tried to hog the ball and "take over" with random 1v1 matchups. This leads to turnovers. You cannot play hero ball against Tufts. Sorry, it is the hard truth. They are a division 1 program playing in Division 3. The teamwork on offense was not good today at all. Only 3 assists combined. On defense, it looked like we tried to read the scout too hard rather than just playing our game. Boyden is a threat, but it doesn't mean other players won't just sweep and shoot the hell out of the ball. 0 in goal did the best he could. I actually thought he saved the game from being a 25+ one.

I don't know if this is a long stretch of advice, but we need bigger/more athletic guys to beat teams past the final four. This needs to be a big, HUGE strategy of recruiting. Yes, shifty quick attackmen and middies are fun to watch, but ALL get BULLIED by Tufts, RIT, SALISBURY especially. All of their teams are huge. Fundamentals might not come easier, but you have 4 years to teach them. Sorry not sorry. I'm not even talking about those powerhouse schools either. Even Union in the final four last year knocked us out, they had a big squad as well. It is such a deal breaker come the tournament.

You don't have to agree with my points, I just think those have been thoughts of large amounts of fans over the years.
