Quote from: dag14I suspect that if it wasn't the 2nd game of the season the starters would have been pulled earlier.
It was the third, but who's counting?

I actually knew that but sort of forgot about Lehigh after the Denver delight. Same thought after 3 games.  Look at the rough start against Hobart -- every minute playing with your line against outside competition is helpful.

Jesus Kirst.
So that's what the J is short for!


I hope the band can start attending lacrosse games. And when they do, they should play the opening chords of "Superstar" from Jesus Christ Superstar whenever Kirst scores.

"How many goals have you scored so far?"

It took me a while to get this, but you're right: "Jesus, Kirst; superstar! How many goals have you scored so far?" ::banana::

I am hopeful that the coaching staff is working on building depth for the offensive midfield in light of the injuries to Nikolic and Holmes.  Its why you carry a roster of over 50-right?  Am hopeful some one will emerge as we don't want to run the 1st midfield into the ground like Tambroni did when he was coach on the Hill.

I think the fruits of the excellent recruiting by this coaching staff over the past few years is paying off big-time to fill the gap. Ryan Waldman showed right away that he could be more than a placeholder on the 2nd midfield, and then with Holmes going down, a combination of Luzzi, McGovern, Lamb and Bartolotto have all done a fine job when called upon. While it's tough to lose guys, we're in a much better place depth-wise than we would have been in 5 years ago.

Watching Rudy v. Maryland. We're going to have to play our best to beat these guys, but we are very capable.

Great game, marylands goalie (from Corning) saves the game after letting in a bit of a weak goal.

Can't believe the refs didn't call a moving screen on Rudy's 10th goal. Wow. It was such an obvious call.

Moving screen or moving pick? I thought moving screens are legal.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they were the same thing. The screener moved to his right three or four steps to prevent the defensive player from staying with the ball carrier coming over the top. It didn't make any difference in the outcome, but I thought, wow, how can you not call that.

By "screen" I understand an offensive player being in position to make it difficult for the defending GK to see the ball and/or the offensive player handling it. Screening does not necessarily impede the motion of anyone on the defending team. Of course, every player has the right to be in their space, so a screening player may stand still and impede the motion of a defending player.

A moving pick, on the other hand, moves to impede a defending player.
