Lax vs. Army

[Al DeFlorio]

10-8 after three, UVA.  I think I just heard faceoffs were 17-4 UVA.  Big advantage.

It was 14-7, but still, that's huge.

It's now 18-6.;-)

I stand corrected.  Maybe my brain couldn't wrap around that kind of dominance.

If UVA gets a 2+ goal lead they'll go into that packed in zone and eat clock.

We don't have a big outside cannon to break that up.  With the inside finishers we have, I'd attack that with a 1-4-1 setup with  Mock, Bremner, English, and Lang up somewhat, maybe 12 yards from the crease and widely spaced.  Then pop those guys into the gaps on the move to get quick feeds from Donovan/Pannell and high percentage dunks.  It might be interesting to make the two middle guys Stenrud (6'5) and Lang (6'4) and drop some high feeds down on UVA goaltender Fortunato, 6'1" in the program but doesn't look that tall standing in the cage.

My suggestion is don't let them get a two goal lead.

1. @Virginia 14-10 over Syracuse
2. Johns Hopkins 10-8 over @Princeton
3. @Cornell 18-7 over Army

The top 3 teams appear pretty close esp. knowing what we did to the Cadets after losing by just 1 at Syracuse the week before.

Two questions for ya:

1. Did you see the UVA-Syracuse game?
2. Which of our goaltenders do you think we can rely on to prevent UVA from getting a 2 goal lead at any point?

That didn't work too well for SU. Of course, maybe if they had held their own at the X the result would have been different.

If Tesoriero can continue doing well at X and keep giving us a huge advantage with time of possession, that will go a long way on Saturday.
