ok so i hope this link works (may have to navigate around): http://www.americaeast.com/mediaPortal/player.dbml?DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=14000&&db_oem_id=14000
friday 555pm SB hosts Marist at LaValle to open the season. what do we know about marist... theyve come on strong lately, defeating us twice in the last two years 10-9 and 13-9, both very early on. for some reason, in both games, we couldnt save anything.
they ended off last year (a very good season for Marist) by losing to manhattan and detroit mercy.
guys like rice/doherty (att), and begley/marks (mid) totally beat us on defense. all have graduated except begley. the offense ran through rice and he was the primary feeder. i think the d-mids mostly graduated, as did all four defenseman (three starters and one contributor), i dont remember exactly.
what they return- a pretty good midfield. attack should be young; middies experienced. i dont know anything about the incoming class.
last year we were up 6-2 in the first Q. then we lead at half, got shut down in the 2nd half. keep in mind it was the first college game for most of our starters.
-
forgot to add- i read earlier that they scrimmaged Bingo- tight one, if you can put any weight into it.
and apparently they beat up on dartmouth, who is an unknown quantity at this point. and then they lost (if you can call it that) to upstart Boston.

Coach speaks...he seems thrilled...
-

Lets go Seawolves!!!
-
the game is still on...one of Chris D's buddies called the school....they were cleaning out the seats this afternoon. 2 hours to go time.

ok so that wasnt a great start. in short, we didnt take care of the ball, threw it away too much and put pressure on the defense. on that note, the defense wasnt as bad as the score admits; we just play too much defense. i know this is a bball stat- but we let teams get offensive rebounds and that just kills us.
lots of positives though. hughes got off some nice outside shots. schultz has a nice wing dodge that scored not once but twice. curry is a nice surprise with the pole. and rowe dominated on faceoffs. i thought vassallo did well too on ssdm. EMO looked good.
we gave up 47 shots. if they had the ball lets say 32 minutes, thats a shot every 40 seconds they have the ball. were only lucky that half their shots hit the cage. if we won 20/28 faceoffs, and still gave up 47 shots, something is wrong with our ball control. clearing needs work, which is not surprising for a young team in february.
didnt see millican until the fourth q. also no sichenzia? and andreassi must still be hurt?
-
Sichenzia and Andreassi are both hurt and Judge is playing with a broken thumb. We won the GB game 35-29 but that was all skewed by the face offs. Marist seemed to win all the important ones. I pretty much agree with you assessment though. The O will be fine. The transition D is awful and overalll the D needs a lot of work.
Millican (one shift) and Harris with limited minutes...I know Coach loves Rock but to have him get all the run over Millican seems wrong.
Rogers is clearly the leader of the team and Eastwood will get 50 this year. Rowe is the real deal...he can win draws multiple ways...I still think we need better wing play though. The few we lost were all turned into fast breaks.
-
The season is still young.
-
I've got to think that Millican is returning from injury hence the limited run. He's been one of Nagle's best players the last two years and just a staple at ssdm.

I hope you are right because he was clearly their best SSDM lase year. Not to mention one do the fastest guys on the team.
-
Chairman do you know many one goal loses they have had in Nagle's tenure. I have not seen them play with a sense of urgency since he got here. I realize that the D was set up to fail with all the sloppy play, but why can't they get a body on someone. Curry was a nice surprise but the long pole play continues to be unsteady. I hope Milican is coming off an injury cause playing him for one shift isn't going to cut. There was no transition gm and not playing Milican had a lot to do with it.
-
i dont- but its got to be near ten.
i was thinking the same while watching though- we need to take some body in the crease or when the ball is on the ground.
its early, we have some injuries, but some positives and agreat opportunity to beat lafayette an pull into .500. GO SB
