[10stone5]

13-5, last second goal DeMaio,

going into last quarter.

6 points DeMaio today.

[10stone5]

18 to 8

Tigers move on as expected.

[10stone5]

So this should settle the - Fairfield Has Improved story line,

they're up two on the Hens.

[10stone5]

Hens look like they have woken up.

[10stone5]

JP Ward making Charlie Kitchen type plays.

Tie game, 7 left.

[10stone5]

Fairfield ball 2 mins left, 12-11 Fairfield -

but then a turnover, Hens get it back.

[10stone5]

Robinson howitzer ties it, just over 1 left.

[10stone5]

Turnover caused by Hens, they've got it with 36 tics left.

[10stone5]

OT

[10stone5]

Hens win faceoff

[10stone5]

Hens go right to Michael Robinson

swims by his guy and past the goalie for the win.

[sc lax]

No patience from Fairfield at the end of the game. Felt like they rushed clearing at the end

[10stone5]

Fairfield needs a Michael Robinson, a Nick DeMaio,

Robinson ties it with a howitzer from 2 point range with under a minute to go,
then Hens go right to Robinson on the 1st possession, and he cruises right by his man, goalie didn't have a chance,
superior talent.

Towson scouting report is on a posty note : guard 19 game over ! I don’t care about slides.

So all they have to do is shut down a second team All CAA player? Sounds easy.

And cover JP Ward, the CAA first teamer and primary initiator. And deal with the inverts and sweeps. Easy!

I recall when Hens 1st recruited Robinson, a big get for the Hens - though IL, the "Raters", did not exactly hold him in all that high a regard which was weird to me. Especially since some tremendous players had come out of Culver, Joel Tinney. Look at that class, a very good class, I mean Skyler Wilson?! - who actually I liked a lot coming out of Canada - was rated higher.
Robinson has done much better than, well really, most of those top 20 (5 star) players from that 2019 class. That is the Shellenberger class.
184 goals and counting for Michael Robinson puts him among the top 20 all time in Division I.
Maybe the best of that threesome of Robinson, Owen Grant and Tye Kurtz. A lot of lot of talent there, much much more talent than most people (or really, just about everyone) realize.

Yeah I don’t get that one, but both him & Ward are v good

The Hens makeshift defense was discombobulated the whole night yesterday. Not sure anyone else noticed, but the Hens played without their #2 LSM Patrick Gillin last night. They have been without their #1 LSM Joe Speers for four weeks now (out of the year). Not sure what happened to Gillin, but I believe he finished the game against Towson last week. Ugh.

Every team has injuries, but the Hens are keeping it together with duct tape at this point. Back ups Donny Gayhardt, Rowan Marsell (converted SSDM) and Nick Cowen played LSM last night. They will have to get better as a unit to give the Tigers a game Saturday.

Delaware will also need a good recovery day today. From the box score, they played 23 guys (Fairfield played 22). It was the first really warm game, too. Several Stags got treatment on sidelines mid-game. I didn't notice it on the Delaware sideline/sub box, but guys will enter Saturday's game feeling "not so fresh".
