Some more thoughts on the Syracuse and questions moving forward.

 

I wonder how much Merrick has been influenced by working with Matt Brown on the Canadian teams or if the game plan was to play a slower paced game. I thought that strategy really hurst on the last possession of the first half and what led to the timer on during the last possession of the game and the eventual turnover.

 

Defense played well, but didn't understand some of the slides which led to wide open looks and the passive play on the last play of the game, especially on Mariano. Why wasn't our number one defender not on him?

 

Wing play on faceoff's has to get better.

 

It sounded like Field's was much more of a distributor during the scrimmages. He is too good of a shooter not to be taking a few more shots and I think he is much more effective getting the ball and dodging off of a pass rather than the ball starting with him, and Reh has to be more active.

 

This one hurt but so many positives to take away. It is always tough to play your first game against a top tea, who has a game under their belt.

To take the next step as a program Albany has to start winning these game rather than just making it close. It will be interesting to see how the Danes do against Drexel this Saturday after the Dragons gave Virginia a pretty good game.

 

I don't know if the Syracuse defense made adjustments after the Danes scored the first five or six goals, but I want to see that attacking offense. We had a lot of good looks and missed a huge opportunity to put Syracuse away early and then it looked like we started going a little four corners, where as Dane teams of old for better or worse would have kept on running and pushing.

 

Overall I liked what I saw, but have to start putting very good teams away. Looking at the schedule there will be several more opportunities later in the season.

Teams of old.... as in recent past.

 

The 'four corner' game was all we had in the early going of Marr's tenure.

Agree but maybe we would have if they ever came to our campus to play. Home field means a lot.

After all of these years now playing this game, it's seeming quite obnoxious and greedy on the part of Syracuse.

I believe the question is "Who does Desko think he is, Boeheim?"

 

The difference being, lacrosse doesn't have the 20,000 reasons to play at home (attendance Saturday 4,766)
