Tough win on the  road . Nice

I caught a glimpse of the game in the first half when SB was down by 2.. I dont follow SB Lacrosse that much, but why did they struggle against SH? Is SH really that good, or did SB take a step backwards..

a few things... over the years true parity is really getting closer.  games that used to be a sure thing are no longer.  attribute this to kids wanting to play rather than ride benches.  and also youtube allowing coaches to find talent in non-traditional regions.

secondly, this team lost nearly everyone from its starting lineup.  AND I note that last year's starting team played all four years, leaving not much PT for the younger guys.

thirdly, with games now pushing up to early Feb (a month earlier), there is a shorter offseason, cold weather, didn't install offense etc yet.  Ripe for upset.

I didn't realize 13 players had surgery last season... that's gotta be 12 more than usual no?

frost- youre welcome!
