watched the replay.  bad passing and poor shot selection/placement.  we couldnt hit the cage. 

is it possible that 3-8 UMBC just got really hot suddenly and decided to come alive?  sure.  but we won a lot of faceoffs and still went down 10 goals to a team that barely entered the postseason on a 3 way tiebreaker.

i noticed we had four different mids take the draw on the first four faceoffs; wonder why. 

i otherwise think it's obvious what happened; our entire offense is one-handed, BC planned for this, and shut the strong side.  a few teams did that to us this year, which explains the erratic results this season.  that and terrible SoG.

i still think the experiment with poles playing offense continues to be costly.  and giving up a goal from 70 yards on the 10man ride was a low point.

BC buried us early in transition.  bolly was pulled at 11-2 in the middle of the 3rd (after we doubled them up just a few weeks ago).  we scored 4 late goals but we got torched by 10 goals by the time this was over.

Stony Brook Womens lax just won their 7th straight America East Championship.  Credit to them for putting the lacrosse department on their back this decade.

Nagle just posted this on Twitter...Teddy Roosevelt he is not.  He has come up short again and again though...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Not really my sport, but I think the criticism on this Board isn't in the effort but in the ability to coach the sport as well as some fans would expect.

Plus, I resent Nagle's tweet because going into battle and coaching lacrosse are two very different experiences.  That much I know all too well.

The tweet comes off as pathetic and somewhat desperate in the face of reality. It would be better to post nothing.

historically, the issue of winning the AE was getting through aLBanY.  but i guess we have a new problem now- beating the rest of the AE. 

2019 (lost to BC in the semi)
2018 (lost to VT in the semi)
2016 (lost to VT in the semi)


and i think it's a matter of time before UML hangs an L on us.

Yes, in a way. Regardless, it’s clear that new leadership is required asap.

Agreed!  But like others, I think that the AD will renew Nalge's contract.  If the AD was looking to make a move the announcement should have been made and the search for a new coach should be in progress.  The UMBC game clearly showed what a well coached team can do.  Nagle did not have an answer and to me, it looked like he just gave up and watched the clock tick down on the season.

maryland BC wins, and it wasnt close. 14-8

that's four consecutive road wins, 3 post-season, all of which i'd maybe call upsets

Nagle still there - not a good sign. Why would anyone in there right mind keep Nagel?

I still think he'll be gone. Heilbron wants some time to pass after lacrosse season (including the tournament) is over so it won't seem as if he rushed his decision. This is normal, and there's lots of time.
