if they can score like that against Uv they cn score on anyone.  when they didnt throw it away they seemed to score.

I was there! A fantastic game, even if the Red could not hold on at the end. Much better performance that could be expected from the first 3 games. There is now some hope for this team to win a few games.

Just as important we finally showed the caliber of young offensive talent on the team.  Now just got to tighten up the defense!

Actually, UVa is the one that's got to tighten up the D.  We gave up 19 goals to an acknowledged high power racehorse offense with a lot of scorers.  THEY gave up 18 goals to...us.::thud::

From the Clarkson Hockey thread:

upprdeck:
 not sure which is struggling more the hockey D breakout or the Lax D against the 10 man ride.

 No question the Lax D is worse. And it shouldn't be that hard. Your upfield middies and attack work an over-and-back across the midfield line to pop someone open by using the offsides rule. There's always confusion among the riders as to who goes across, especially if you use some picks. You can also play some games sneaking in and out at the substitution boxes.

http://www.cornellbigred.com/news/2017/3/13/mens-lacrosse-jeff-teat-named-ivy-league-rookie-of-the-week.aspx Jeff Teat is Ivy League rookie of the week for putting up 11 points (5G, 6A) vs. Virginia. (I thought it was originally recorded as 9 points.) Most points since Tim Goldstein had 11 in 1988. Which begs the question, how many points does Teat need to be player not rookie of the week?

So, yes...I'm happy for the kid.
But, might this scoring explosion lead to the elusive first win tomorrow??

yale is probably one of the best chances to win other than dartmouth/brown.

Now that he's the coach in waiting at Harvard with all their resources, why would he leave in all reality.
