U Mass Lowell Game

[HOF2013]

Okay now the League Schedule starts.  Based on scores I have seen U Albany may not be as bad as some think. Yes we have lost what we have lost BUT played teams tough.  Look at those teams scores against other top teams!  May open some eyes!  May not!

Example Villanova Beats Yale, loses to Drexel; Towson undefeated and gets hammered by Cornell;

The season starts on Saturday for sure. Not going to be an at large bid this year so the only way in the NCAA's is going to be winning the AE tournament. As weak as the AE is looking whoever gets the AQ is probably going to be in the play in game. It is a crazy enough season that any team in the tournament could win the whole thing, but the deterioration in our face off game is really troubling.

This is probably the biggest week of practice of the year.

Of course it is now all about WINNING. Not sure at large totally out?  Win out (including a top 5 win over Yale--assuming they are still top 5); finish 9-4. Win first game in AmEast  (10-4). Even with upset in final 10-5. Look at current 10-17 poll, every team except Georgetown already has at least 2 loses, some even with 3. Four new teams entered or re-entered top 20 this week. Even 1-9 ALL (except Ohio State) have at least one loss. ALL 1-20+ as league and tournament play begin will add to their loses. I know it is far fetched, but in this topsie-tervie year, UA can climb into at large ranking. Obviously win AmEast outright and not left to fate and discretion. Regardless, it is all about winning period.

Agree,  no idea what has happened to FO.  Upperclassmen on others teams seem to have the upper hand.  There are tiny things they can do that younger guys don't know how to defeat.  I have watched videos.  Lot's of 'cheating' goes on - very small things that help, finger wraps on the stick, tilting it in before the whistle [U Mass was definitely doing this], slightly moving the angle of the stick, etc etc

100% agree!

Long way away from the days of scoring 30 goals a game.

They have beat three nobodies.  Including UMass Lowell,16-15 in OT.  We have to start winning to get more press.  Tomorrow will give an idea of how we stand.

He is working better as a part of the TEAM Offense!!

[cwdickens]

Times - Onion had a similar line about Nanticoke playing today. Fingers crossed that things worked out for everyone. See everyone in the stands!

Watching the ladies.  I JUST can't watch.  Dumb calls, our goalie is awful!!!!!!  Ladies missed a bunch of penalty shots in the first half??????????  Straight at their goalie's stick???

It looks like they’ve figured out where TN fits in to this offense. Some great passing going on and good point blank shooting.

So I missed most of the game.  Got to my computer with 10 mins left in the 4th and the score was 14-7.  I liked what I saw after that although UML made a run.
