Only got to see about 45 minutes of the MD scrimmage but a few things of note:

White moved to starting attack and is the teams best dodger
Dowd is the top FOGO...was winning the clamps vs the MD starter...Enneguess was the backup
Bollinger got the start in goal
Harry on the starting mid...he's the new Reh IMO...will play both O and D Mid
Rees, who is the best player they have is actually on the top man up unit
The D is still suspect, but they were playing MD...gave up lots of goals around the crease
Coaches need to work on their substitutions...Watkins used to have this down...it was a mess yesterday.  This has to be Nagle's last year.  The new Asst looks like he is 14.   


I saw it differently. You have to break it up into quarters during fall ball. I saw SB beat Maryland in the second quarter and the game was close for most of the third quarter. I saw the manup unit move the ball easily against Maryland and should have had 4 or 5 goals. Instead of 1 and a pipe. I mho this can be cleaned up easily. I saw some freshmen play well and felt like the coaches were mixing alot of kids into the game. My takeaway was very positive. They played Harvard to a 2 goal game with Harvard scoring very late. Harvard game was very even.

Fall ball is about a long bench and seeing what you have

I had mostly positive takeaway too for only seeing 45 minutes...didn't really say anything negative other than the D was average and the substitutions on the fly need work.


calling for the coaches job after 1 fall ball tournament is not too positive.

I looked up other programs that we play and that I believe most would call good programs with good coaches and a bright future. Their record over the last 5 years:
Hofstra 43-30
Princeton 39-32
Fairfield 43-34
Lehigh 45-35
Stony Brook 45-35

2 winning seasons in 6 years and hasn't been to the NCAA's since 2012.


Give me a program similiar to SB that you feel is doing better. Yes the amount of NCAA appearances is disappointing. I believe SB has made their conference tournament the last 6 years. Any college lacrosse team in the nation, 1st major goal is to make your conference tournamnet ( it is considered the post season ) .  Team has been on national radar. Give me something tangible

due to only 16 NCAA spots . It is not so easy to make. I no other sport does top 20 teams NOT GET at large NCAA bids

I would argue that a 7-7 season and making the conference tournament is a success on some level. Definitely does not meet team goals I am sure but is not the disaapointment that you paint
