Season starts Saturday. All about the America East, one at a time and do not over look anyone. Hoop team lost to Binghamton in opening round of playoffs after beating them by a combined 33 points in regular season. Need a W, Go Seawolves

It’s nice some of you are optimistic. But did today’s game at Hartford show you why the rest of us keep saying Nagle needs to be fired immediately?  Hartford was 0-6 and lost to Manhattan by 3. MANHATTAN!  And Manhattan only gave up 8 goals!

Nagle runs the defense. They don’t watch film of the opponents offense and they don’t have the scout offense run the opponents offense during practice. They were not prepared today for Hartford’s rotations! Nagle is an awful coach. He makes the dumbest decisions. He can’t evaluate talent. He decides certain players should play and then he plays them no matter how many mistakes they make in games. The defense has a lot of talent.  But not enough players who have good instincts and lax IQ are on the field together. And no one communicates. And Nagle is incapable of making adjustments during the game.

The offense rotates a lot of players to find the best matchups and who’s got the hot hand. The defense makes no changes. Just keeps doing the same thing over and over and over. Nagle is the definition insanity.

And don’t say the AE is all down this year. Albany lost to Maryland, Syracuse, Cornell and UMass. All highly ranked teams. They didn’t lose to Marist, Sacred Heart and Hartford! And the Hofstra and Bryant wins were lucky bounces at the end against bad teams.

This programs should be better and deserves better. It’s not hard to do. Look at the women’s team. So much talent here on Long Island. Great education for state school tuition.   Close to home so family and friends can come to games. Will never happen while Nagle here because his reputation is for ****. And he has totally earned it.

We need a change. That is if the AD and President will spend the money on something other than football.

Every week the defense makes offense for the opposition by doing the wrong slides at the wrong time. You hear it being talked about by multiple people who all hear it from directly inside the team. It’s not just seeing it on the tape. The team knows it. They talk to each about it all the time. Nagle is just either too incompetent or arrogant (or both!) to admit he’s not doing it right on defense and needs to make changes.

And players are afraid to talk to him about it because when you do he talks about you in front of the whole team and says you’re just being selfish and worrying about your own playing time and don’t care about the team when that is totally not true. He’s an awful communicator and teacher with his players. Exactly the opposite of what you need for a college coach. All you need to look at are his results.

home game against maryland BC.  would be awful to fall into the 0-2 hole knowing that uaLbAny is a month away.  the dogs are 1-5 and just lost in OT to vermont.  we beat them last year by 1 in catonsville. GO SB

Why would anyone be surprised by this weekend’s loss to 0-6 Harford? This is Nagel lax. Anything bad to say about Nagel has been said.  Any questions just read the past posts on this thread. It’s all true. Other SB coaches have gotten it done, Nagel can’t. The only question is when does the AD get rid of him? After this season if SB keeps Nagel shame on SB.

Team has had a very up and down start to the season, something that has been the norm past few seasons. From what I have gathered from watching every game, this team has a lot of talent on the field but for some reason is struggling to have that talent translate into W's. I will not bash the coaching staff like almost everyone else has or will, but rather offer what I have seen from this years squad up to this point. Faceoffs are non existent for this team like they have been for quite some time (I don't know exact number but probably 35-40% on season, not good). Goaltending has been phenomenal, Bollinger keeps this team in almost every game this kid is legit. He covers up so many mistakes made by this veteran defense. Our slide rotations and matchups seem to make no sense. Example: not putting the pole on #1 on Hartford. Rees and Pugal play well individually but the team defense is not there right now. I do think Dugan is one of the most underrated and most important guys on the team at the SSDM spot. Offensively there are some bright spots and some not to bright spots. This unit lacks the "smoothness factor" it feels like it's a struggle a lot to just cycle the ball around. Haun needs to be given more opportunities to dodge his man rather than give him the ball with 15 sec left in shot clock and pray he draws a push or scores. Gripe and VanGinhoven are such a dynamic 1-2 punch dodging from the midfield and I think the offense needs to be initiated by them (see last possesion of Hartford game, Gripe takes the ball). There are some good shooters like Pickle as well but the rest of the offense needs to step their games up. Anyway, I think this team bounces back in a big way this weekend vs UMBC and I will not be surprised when they hold up the AE trophy come May. Go Seawolves!

Not to pile on here but Stony Brook has to have one of the easiest schedules in D1.  There are 3 teams TOTAL on their schedule with a winning record.  UVM, Penn State, and Sacred Heart.

Watched film. Hartford does not have announcers, they use the PA guy, kinda annoying.  SB just needs to make a few more plays, most college teams are two goals apart. We need to make more plays, one more ground ball, one more save, one more finish etc. Wins will follow

Saturday is big, need a W

watched the replay.  the good: we played sound defense (5-0 at half!), and didnt ask bollinger to stand on his head for once, though he still played great.  i saw that fiorentino got on.  going up 7-0 on your rival is good.  faceoffs.  we might need to find more minutes for harrell (headed for the all rookie team?). 

the bad: on our clear, we too often just try to run through two defenders (i think counted 5x?).  we still got trail checked i think 4 times.  my opinion but we are better having long poles pass instead of shoot. 

otherwise BC just couldnt hit the cage or get into a rhythm; they just threw the ball away a lot.  i noticed the red pads were taken off the far walls at lavalle.  ualBany beats bingo, vermont blew up hartford, SJU beats UML.

Watched it live.

Great team effort all around by the players. Much more urgency and effort.

Great to win faceoffs. So many extra possessions.

Offense in much better rhythm. A lot of guys contributing. You can’t just try to stop one guy.

But don’t understand what you saw on defense. They were all or nothing. Either they we all in perfect unison sliding and recovering at right time in right rotations all together. Or they were totally off and running around totally a mess. Don’t understand why. They’ve been playing together for over a year now.

And SB goalie did stand on his head. He made 6-8 ridiculous saves. He stole those goals from UMBC. Wide open shots right on top of him. You could see that very clearly live.

UMBC is very bad team. If their offense had any real finishers, sorry to say that game could easily have been a loss. 

Your defensive plan can’t depend on your goalie standing on his head every week. That’s not a realistic game plan.

But very glad for players that they worked hard and supported each other so loudly to get the win. They clearly care and work hard as a team. Really good chemistry with each other all around. So great to see and hear that.

But the head coach still has no clue.

Watched it live too. Much better all around, liked the tempo on offense much better, ball moved quick through attack and middies made decisions much faster, liked #50 at middie.  You have to like the defense and goalie when they hold a collegiate team to zero for a half. Bollinger and D looked good.
Do not agree Chairman that UMBC is a bad team, I bet you they make the playoffs, I would rather not see them again. Nolan and goalie are very good and there attack is not so shabby, give Bollinger credit. Kasner is a transfer from Dematha, my friend coached him during travel days. He is #5 in country in caused turnovers and had 4 against Vermont. All these teams have players and it is hard to beat anyone twice in a year, see Vermont last year and SB historically. Do not take anyone lightly. Focus on the day's opponent. Cannot speak for practice but I do subscribe to the school of next play and I do hear the staff telling the boys to make the next play. Let's just keep making more than the other team! League games are rough, almost like everyone is a playoff game because they are so important.
