Harvard, Men's Lacrosse, Saturday, 02-29-2020 @ 100 PM

Early forecast, sunny 🌞, seasonal cold, 30 degrees Fahrenheit, Harvard plays Holy Cross on Tuesday in Worcester....last year 12-13 lost to Harvard... I see opportunity to avenge a lost.

Still amazed Harvard beat UMass Saturday. They were dominated in most key categories and still won. UMass had bad first half only scoring single goal. The Harvard goalie is really good too bad to have like18 saves. Definitely payback for last year loss there

We absolutely have to continue to improve - especially on ground balls and Close D.

This season has seen a number of "upsets" .  This is what happens when predication meets reality.

And UMass beat UMass Lowell by two goals Tuesday, 11-9.  UMass may not be as good as some think!  ideas?

AND Harvard lost to Holy Cross 8-9

There is more parity than ever, and while an elite FOGO and goalie can tilt the field; coaching, scheme, and conditioning/player effort is so important.

It's Game day - bundle up everyone!

Snow flurries with dusting on the ground in Southern Saratoga County .... Any word on Bob Ford Field conditions?

Looking at it now. Field is clear, but with that cold, hard as heck sheen to it.

Wind is kicking up Southern Saratoga County now.

These breakdowns on defense are killing them.  Matador defense, parting of the Red Sea, whatever you want to call it.  Got Harvard right back in the game.

Is it just me or is Siekirski letting in alot of goals that should be saved?

Like I was saying, Nate is stopping everything, solid goaltending, lol.

I'll need to watch the replay later, but my gut reaction with the exception of maybe one or at most two goals, Nate got hung out to dry by the defense and stood on his head a the end of the game to cover up other defensive blunders.

Definitely in the 1st half he had no chance but watch the goals in the 3rd before he was pulled for a bit.  Marr with a good move to reset his mind.
