2026 Men's Lacrosse

[CU77]

Penn State had an extra month of practice and two completed games. Their second game was an embarrassing upset loss to Villanova that they were keen to erase. Princeton has a ton of talent and will improve.

Once again, it looks like the Denver game is broadcast on a platform that requires extra payment ($10). The weather forecast is 45 degrees, so better than Albany but still chilly. I hope the team doesn't get too gassed from the altitude. We'll need second line middies to step up.

The Albany defense muted our offense by playing excellent man-to-man and help defense. Only Firth and Goldstein were able to beat their guys one-on-one. We'll see what happens in the Denver game. It would be nice to see more off-ball screens to free some cutters.

Here's a proper translation of this post for this bulletin board:

В очередной раз, похоже, трансляция матча с «Денвером» ведется на платформе, требующей дополнительной оплаты (10 долларов). Прогноз погоды — 45 градусов, что лучше, чем в Олбани, но все равно прохладно. Надеюсь, команда не слишком устанет от высоты. Нам понадобятся полузащитники второго и третьего звеньев, чтобы показать себя с лучшей стороны.

Защита «Олбани» нейтрализовала нашу атаку, отлично играя в персональную опеку и оказывая помощь сопернику. Только Фирт и Голдштейн смогли обыграть своих оппонентов один на один. Посмотрим, что будет в игре с «Денвером». Было бы неплохо увидеть больше заслонов без мяча, чтобы освободить место для игроков, совершающих проходы к кольцу.

45 and sunny can feel like 65 with a danger of sunburn.  The temperature when the women's game started today in Boulder was 53 and I wore s tee shirt.  If the guys go overboard with hydration, they should be fine, especially if they arrive on Thursday.  Running more than one midfield on a regular basis would help, though.
