I thought the main issue vs UV was the goalie play. theirs made several pt blank saves and ourse let in severallong range ones..

Bad sequence...procedure call on the face, followed by a quick Army goal. Cornell gets a man-up after that faceoff, and two bad turnovers lead to another Army score.

Clock problems...stuck at 0:46, and the refs set it to 0:35.

[quote scoop85]Howie's usually right, but I'm glad Espey put that one in. 9-6 Red.[/quote]

Having the ball and 2 goals is better than 3 goals and face-off.

Hopkins-Hofstra now 7-7

Game shouldn't have been that close.

[quote Al DeFlorio]I'm especially glad now that it's 9-8[/quote]

It wasn't a thing of beauty, but Army is pretty solid. Good win for a team learning its way.

Coming off the CU timeout with 0:17, Army immediately forces a turnover which leads to a shot near the cage at the buzzer. Martinez stopped it. 9-8 Final.

Lots of weaknesses exposed. Tons of turnovers. Uncertainty in goal. Questionable shot selection. Army's goalkeeper played very well, however.

The core of a very good team is there. More work is needed.

So, who will be our goalie?

scoop85 · March 08, 2008, 02:58:32 PM

Similar to last year's game down at West Point in many ways. Army plays fine positional defense, but doesn't have a ton of firepower. We did enough to win.

Hofstra takes down JHU in OT, 8-7.

Eight goals and eight saves, five for Myers and three for Martinez. Inconclusive.

I didn't see today's game, but I'd like to see Martinez get a start and see how he fairs over the course of a game when he's not asked to come in and stop the bleeding.

Edit: all things being equal I'd like to see us go with Martinez as he has a lot of time to develop. I also believe he was a pretty heralded recruit.

I'd like to see that, too. He's a frosh, so it's likely he'd improve with experience.

Makes sense to me with Canisius coming in on Wednesday. We'll see what Tambroni thinks.
