Initially, I thought we looked a little young vs. Navy, but the boys were holding their own throughout most of the game. I also felt like they out-sized us quite a bit as well with several guys on their roster between 6'4" and 6'6" just bowling some of our smaller guys over. That'll change once the younger guys put on some muscle I imagine.

vs. ND was a different game and my favorite of the three played. While both sides showed a little bit of sloppy passing and throw-aways early on, I think everyone settled in by the second half. SB came to play.. swarming ground balls, causing turnovers, taking the body when necessary. I liked the intensity. Bitzer and Reh did their thing and were both stepping up. Corpo had an absolute cannon last year but was coming up short with a lot of his bouncers and shots aimed low. The Navy goalie had a good bead on those from the start. Hoping to see him lighting up the corners soon. Anderson playing a great LSM. Daly made his presence known on several occasions. Few other observations:

#19 Maciejewski - Wizard in goal vs ND. Made some ridiculous saves today.

#18 Matsuoka - Really turned it around vs ND -- kid hustled hard

#21 Grippe - Showed some great stick skills. Buried a few past ND's talented goaltender -- definitely one to watch

4th Quarter vs. ND, all gears were clicking. Boys were moving the ball well on O. Defense looking strong. Plenty of work to be done before February, but I liked what I saw today.
