Lax vs Army, March 6

Redcast has video at 2:30.

Dreadful picture quality.

2-1 Cornell on two Hurley goals; another ball-drop by Lang gives Army an easy goal.

Gotta get Pannell more involved on offense.

Gotta hang onto the ball. Derkac throwaway gave Army its second goal.

And Pannell gets 2 goals to put us up 4-2

Army ties it at 5. No second slide. Too many giveaways and shaky D.

Tied again at 6. Cornell continues to throw it away after winning a faceoff or attempting a clear.

Pretty much every time we double the ball on defense they score. 7-6 army right now.

Army 7-6, taking advantage of another Cornell slide.

May see Martinez for Fiore. We are giving a really sloppy effort. Poor ball handling. Pushes to give possession. Poor clearing.

Lau has been invisible.

Gillum beginning to play with some confidence.

Ritchie makes it 10-8 Cornell. Middies dodging with more confidence than in first two games.
Lang alley dodge makes it 11-8.

11-9

Army now 3 for 3 on EMO makes it 11-10 after Lau takes a terrible shot giving ball to Army

Cornell had built up a 3 goal lead, but army pulls back to within 1 with 5:20 left in the game. Army 3 for 3 on man-up situations.

Another throwaway in the offensive end leads to the tying Army goal 11-11

Another face-off won but ball turned over

This team is very much a work in progress. While I wouldn't put anything past Tambroni, hard to picture us being a factor on the national scene.

Another turnover on a clear

Sun glare didn't help, but I didn't have a good feeling about the clear attempt from the get-go.

1:40 left, Army ball

Going to Overtime at 11-11

1:40 left, Army ball

What's with all the cross-field clearing passes? It looks like we're very unsure in our clearing game. Almost afraid to push the ball upfield.

nice defensive set in the last 1:40.

two great chances in OT, but no dice. Army now controls and calls the TO

Cornell had ball but couldn't score; Army TO with ball in Cornell's zone.

Another throwaway on the clear after Fiore saved

Well, the lax team can score on a breakaway anyway.

Hurley in transition wins it. Really feel bad for Army after a great effort.

Boy, Army has lost a zillion 1-goal games the past few years. I'm happy we won, but as a Hudson Valley resident, I wish it were against someone else

Well, the lax team can score on a breakaway anyway.

And in overtime.

Won the faceoff battle 20-8. Boykin's been doing a helluva job.

Even when we gained first possession, Army was very aggressive in chasing the guy who scooped up the ball and getting the ball from Cornell.

Yeah, it was a rough-and-tumble affair. We certainly held our own against their physicality.

Virginia 11, Syracuse 10 this afternoon; looks like we'll be hosting #1 next Saturday.
