Solid team win with every facet improving from week before. Team has put themselves in a good position in AE by going 2 and 0 prior to Albany game. Playoffs look good, need to get to the #2 slot. Here is my 10 point plan for this week and to get 2 seed.
1) Take 1 week at a time
2) Enjoy this week, you are playing the #1 team in the country
3) Enjoy this week, you are playing the #1 team in the country. That has to be every player's dream when they are playing PAL or playing 6 games of travel ball over July 4th weekend in 100 degree heat. Go have fun
4) Let's be realistic, no one expects us to win. I do not want to win this game anyway, I want to beat them in the AE championship game. This game is all about getting better and learning how to beat them. Gain confidence. Make some saves,grab some ground balls, play some defense and score some goals. Connor Fields will get his, we need to stifle Tehoka-get in his head. Body him back, he seems immature to me. I think you can frustrate him. We cannot let others beat us. Need to win some faceoffs, show we have a chance. Not like last year's playoffs. Target has to be 16-10 ( I will even take 18-10) Here is logic, we can get 3 goals better on offense and defense by playoffs. That get's us to an even draw. This team has been improving. Rent Rocky 4....even Drago bleeds.
5) Send a message that we are the #2 team in the conference as predicted by Inside Lacrosse
6) Go have fun. Did I tell you that you are playing the #1 team in the NATION. I would run through a wall
7) Albany game will be good prep for St Johns and Princeton
2 OOC games get us ready for Vermont who got crushed by Albany
9) 4-2 record in regular season seems likely with 2-0 start
10) Need to keep working and improving. Starting to like this team's Mojo
ps....this team is currently in first place
