Nice show. 19-11 win. Shots tied at half 18-18, outshoot Honbart for game 47-35.

39% save pct for Fiore; not gonna work against stronger opponent.

Al, I'm with you on that. He makes a few insane saves, but let's up too many seemingly stoppable shots that will hurt us against the very top teams.

For anyone who was there, what do you think: Putting up 19 on Hobart in the opener was better/worse than expected? What about giving up 11? Fans are inclined to believe Fiore is not the goalie we promised ourselves he would be. Maybe the defense is working out some kinks farther forward than the goalie circle. And sometimes the flow of the game turns both sides into a high-scoring match. Is anyone concerned that last year's Ivy rookie of the year Matt Donovan only went 2-1? (I kid.) No problem with Pannell's numbers, 4-5, although there was criticism that Pannell was taking lower-quality shots.

So this was the team picked 7th and 13th in the pre-season polls.
