They were beaten from the first draw. Lost must 50/50 balls by lack of effort. Were beaten up field consistently, most of the time looking less athletic than Bing, no defensive IQ ( free cutters all day). Terrible goalie play( a gigantic strength last year). Besides the lack of skill shown today, they will have to improve their heart and hustle which Bing brought to every possession. Tough love needed.
It will be interesting the gauge the Pitt/Clemson team program building blueprint(grad heavy at inception) vs. USF(full recruit class approach)?
Will a floundering 2nd season at Pitt be a foreshadowing for Clemson to change their build process for next year, let younger recruits contribute sooner?

I think any new program, especially in the ACC needs to rely on grad transfers to get started. The younger girls need their knowledge to understand the pace of the game. I think Pitt honestly will struggle this season. Clemson I’m not sure I guess time will tell

Odds that Choma transfers at the end of the season? ND is just not good enough for a player of her talent

They do have six different goal scorers and six different players with assists so far tonight. Six goal scorers and five players with assists in the Syracuse game. It's not like Scane's the only one doing the work.

And, of course, as I say this, Izzy Scane scores her eighth goal of the evening lol

At what point does scoring 10 points a game hurt the team more than help it?

Who knows? They are winning, though, so ::shrug::

And make that 11 points now.

Actually, make that 12.

NU timeout. Time for more of the bench to come in?

Shrug is right. Don’t get me wrong Scane is a phenomenal player, but if I was a coach I just couldn't support that style of offense.

I thought forty to watch lacrosse all season was reasonable I think it covers all schools and all mens and women’s games but maybe I misunderstood

In women's lacrosse you can't have a one woman offense and expect to win at a high level. Every coach and former player will tell you that. Izzy Scane all but has he has the Tewey wrapped up but cmon..Get some of the other players in, run offensive sets not just give it to Izzy and see what happens.
