That looked like Coyle caught the ball off the goalie's stick and scored.

Great move putting Coyle at X while Mikey Long is injured.

Chayse is not getting to those midrange shots.

Too many midrange goals for Hobard but good win. See you blokes on Saturday.

yeah Irlan was off today on a lot of longer shots..  Team played in the stretch of about 20 min after the half and then poof gone the last 7-8 min. Would have been a tad upset had I been in a state to bet the -3.5.

I actually felt Chayse was great early today. The only time I felt the game was in doubt was in the first 20 minutes or so, and he repeatedly made saves in that portion of the game. The offense definitely felt forced at time, but obviously did enough to pull it out. @billhoward's post above mentioned OSU as receiving votes, but they are much more dangerous. A top 10 team looking for a signature win. I hope we play better than we did today and take that top 10 win for ourselves.

Two things contributed to this:
[list=1]
  • He wasn't stopping shots aimed low.
  • Their short sticks were beating ours, and our long sticks were slow to slide and back up the short sticks. In some cases, our long-stick defenders just watched the Hobart shooter shoot.

I couldn't really tell from the broadcast, but did Hobart just sort of give up in the last 90 seconds or so? It didn't seem like they were doubling very aggressively on D.

Cornell did a really nice job moving the ball and using their feet to play keep-away. And then a rebound on a shot and it was over.

I agree that Ohio State will be real test because the Buckeyes are playing great. I saw some of the North Carolina game. They have a lot of good shooters on that team. I think a dozen or so players scored that day. They like to get the defense rotating and them find an attack in the seams in front of the goal. They also like the skip pass from X to a midfielder and then a hard shot. We'll have to be ready.

John Lombardi. Someone posted on Fanlax that he has a torn ACL, but I haven't seen anything official.

It's had to tell watching TV, but his injury seemed located more in his ankle. Also, the way it happened seemed to be when two Hobart players fell on him awkwardly. If indeed it is an ACL, it would be a freak injury. But he did seem to be in considerable pain.

In any case, he will be greatly missed. He really adds a dimension of quickness and dodging. Here's wishing him a complete and speedy recovery.

Cornell shot clock violation. They should at least take a shot on goal and look for a rebound when the clock winds down.

The mid-range shot is our Achilles' heel this year.

A no-offense first period puts Cornell in a hole.

Won 3 of 4 faceoffs yet only 1 SOG.
