Owen Gaffney injured?

[ctbagataway]

He didn’t play Saturday. Offense looked good, ball movement was excellent. Bryant Tuesday should be a real test after what they did to BU.

He didn’t play Saturday...

You know why?

[ctbagataway]

I don’t

Nice win for Harvard! Fun back-and-forth game to watch, as well. Sam King I knew would be great but Graham Blake was also excellent.

Definitely an exciting game to watch.

Great action on both sides, that's a good Bryant team. Their offense is special, especially #22, and their faceoff and goalie play was excellent. Looking at their schedule, they may not lose another game in the regular season (at least they should be favorites in all of them). That was a good win for the Crimson, especially coming back down by 2. Terrific defensive effort in Q4. Obviously the offense made lots of plays, but the game winning play was the takeaway by #46 and the gb by #20 that led to the holding penalty against Bryant. Gritty.

Yes, super impressed with Hackett, #22...watched game with my son; my son was yelling for the slides to come right away, given they were poling #34 Goltz who is their #1 midfielder, AA quality; he's a beast but they held him to 1 goal on 8 shots with that focus; but that let Hackett deal on shorties and his speed and stick control had them straining to catch up, again and again..they did better in sliding second half and in the final minutes, but ouch! Hackett had 4 unassisted in the first half, one unassisted in the fourth for their 12th goal, then one assist for their 13th...overall, the defense didn't look good but they did come up with a couple of key stops with max pressure at end.

Bryant's goalie was very strong, big step up from the tending last Saturday. They only gave Barnard 8 saves, but I thought he had a couple more and several were outstanding.

The Bryant FOGO won 21 of 30 officially but Harvard did a great job of ragging him or whoever first picked up the ball and created numerous TO's. That was the big difference that nullified the possession advantage.

Blake indeed had another excellent day, really good finishes. I know I'm a 'homer' for King, but Sam's the man out there. Stirs the pot, controls the flow, forces the attention and dishes so well...and when needed to get the team back on track, he takes it to the rack. Those ISO's top left at the end were beautiful.

I agree that Bryant's going to go a long way with those midfielders, FOGO and tender.

Great win by Harvard cementing my position of having them #19 in my latest poll.
Congrats to the Crimson.

Harvard's schedule says that the Saturday game against Bucknell is being played at Staples HS (which is in Westport, CT). Bucknell's schedule says that this game against Harvard is being played at Wilton HS in Wilton, CT. Both of these places are nicely close to me, but would someone please be able to confirm for me where in CT the game is being played? Thank you in advance.

[GeorgiaLax]

The game was moved to Staples HS due to issues clearing the snow from the field in Wilton

Thank you!

I knew how to make the snow disappear you warm up the field !

[FannOLax]

Weather foecast calls for a fair amount of rain between now and Saturday, which combined with the temps could melt most of the snow. Then, freezing temps overnight Fri into Saturday could turn any standing water into ice. The joys of February lacrosse in New England.

If it looks nice and sunny on the livestream, maybe they're not showing the flags whipping in the wind. Not too windy for the tailgaters though. If there are lots of Maryland plates in a CT parking lot, it must be a lacrosse game!
