It looks like another mess weather-wise in PA tomorrow. Hard to get the team really clicking in a big game with sideways rain and thunder. Could see it moved to Sunday, with snow squalls and wind there.

They played indoors at The Pennsylvania State a couple of years ago. Maybe that's an option.

It's not really our game, but a couple of off-ball picks for CJ would be easy goals, I think.

PSU is playing outstanding defense. We are getting few easy shots, and the PSU goalie is playing great.

Game over. 20-9 PSU.
The difference is that one team was extremely well coached on defense, and the other side wasn't. This has been our problem all year (and last year).
PSU scored easily with old-fashioned, wooden stick era speed dodges from 10-15 yards out and getting free hands. Our shorties could not stay with them and received no help. It was just too easy.
It feels like we were resoundly outcoached by our former gaffer. Where do we go from here?

It's already been posted on the Ivy board the lack of physicality by the Cornell defense, which has been an issue for the Big Red. For example I am currently watching the John Hopkins and Syracuse game and both teams are very physical. There is a reason why they wear helmets and shoulder pads.

It wouldn't hurt to get a little more physical, at least try to push the shooter a little off balance.
What I'm not understanding is why they are allowing free hands up top. We all know the short stick defensive middie is a super tough position to play. And Coaches Stevens and Buczek know more about lacrosse than I ever will. But I don't understand why we're not more effective at pushing the ball down the alleys. That's what most teach in basic midfield defense. Use body position to block the top so shooters can't run across in front of the goal, or if they get across, force them as high as possible.
Surely it's not that they are so much more athletic than we are. Or are they? Or this some kind of defensive approach that I'm not understanding?
