Yes @ Colgate 2/5. see posts 2022LAX Schedule for  more information/questions.

Any update on Saturday 2/5 scrimmage @ Colgate listed as 4:30. Does Colgate have an indoor practice/game facility?? Weather is NOT encouraging Friday/Saturday.

I would consider going to the scrimmage, if I knew it was definitely ON and weather permitting. Could use some information, if anyone knows?

I believe and I will try to confirm, but the game against Colgate is in Albany at the Affirm indoor facility out by the airport. I was told a 4pm start against Colgate and there is supposed to be a 2nd scrimmage the following week, and I will try to track down someone who knows the details.

Confirmed the scrimmage is here at Affirm at 4pm this Saturday and Brown next Saturday supposedly in Affirm and will check back on the start time.

Little update that was just passed on to me - The scrimmage against Brown is now there next week. So today will be the only opportunity to see them play before the season kicks off.

I was at yesterdays scrimmage. Score was kept by qtr:  UA took a quick 4 nothing lead, after which Colgate took a time out and the qtr ended 5-4 UA up.  3-3, 3-4, 1-3; so Colgate up 12-14 after 4. They played a 5th qtr which UA dominated 6-1.  Not that a final score means too much in a scrimmage but I guess, you can say UA lost by two or won by three.

Briefly:  I thought UA's clear game was very BAD. Not that I could keep stats, but I'd guess in the neighborhood 75%, while Colgate near 100% clear %age. Face-offs:  I estimate at 50-50; but if UA maintained possession on a significant # of face-ofs that UA appeared to win, but turned over immediately [never been sure if these are counted as F/O wins or loses]; my estimate might be way off??  Accordingly, ground balls still need A LOT of work. 

Offensively, UA got a lot of scoring from a number of different players. #24 Jack Pucci had a goal & 4 assists [sat near his parents so pretty sure total is accurate.] #2 Whitcomb (freshman) had at least one goal, maybe two. Hogg & Tucker multiple goals and assists. I did not see Corey Yunker at all, not even sure he suited {injury ??} Camden Hay played only the 4th qtr, but I believe he did score UA's loan 4th qtr goal. Camden seemed tentative and did not appear to defend against Colgate clear attempts a number of times. Not being critical, it may be they are bringing him along slowly.  I known in fall ball, his play was limited because of an  injury. Speaking of the 4th qtr, if time of possession was a stat in lax, Colgate had the ball maybe 12 out of 15 minutes.

This leads me to the defense. I actually was pleasantly surprised. UA did give up 15 goals in 5 qtrs, but I thought the D played very well overall. Overall Colgate (especially in qtrs 3&4) seemed to dominate time of possession. A # of their goals were late in the shot clock. UA's D did result in several Colgate shot clock violations. UA's number 1 goalie did not play at all and the two back-ups made some nice saves. Don't know enough about goal tending techniques etc, but IF both goalies would catch more cleanly and NOT give up as many rebounds and second/third attempts UA's D would certainly be better off. Not being critical, easier said than done I"m sure. BUT where both were very BAD is on clear attempts. I am sure Ramos will be step up here.  5 of Colgate goals were scored by one man [#33.] 33 had 3 wrap around goals, 2 directly after Colgate time outs, meaning they were probably called plays from the bench. One of his goals was off a long pass from face-off circle. Not sure I've ever seen this, the fogo won it clean took maybe a step and fired a ½ field pass to 33 on the doorstep. 

So all considering, I feel there's hope for the Defense. And still feel the offense, even though Scot worries they don't have a stud, will be amazing. Disagreements, additions, contradictions on this summary and all things lacrosse ALWAYS welcomed

As is usual Marr did play about everyone.  I was near a bunch of parents and Logan Tucker's grandfather.  I was pleasantly surprised by Kellan Seneca - played better than my expectations ------- Coach Marr played lines by quarter and subbed accordingly.  New FOGO from Onondaga CC wore #27, not on the roster has only been at school for a couple of weeks - VERY quick - and aggressive.  Regan has some work - I was next to his dad most of the scrimmage.  He said FOGO has been an issue during fall ball and pre-season.   Agree clear needs LOTs of improvement. 

Goalie wearing # 34 not on roster OR maybe he has a new number!   Logan Tucker had 4 goals, Hogg had two I think.   Attack did try to force a couple of inside passes where there was no lane - lost the ball.  BUT there were a couple of great passes inside too.

#8 sophomore, Jack Vanvalkenburgh had some GREAT saves in goal.

Defense was much better than I expected based on comments from guys who were at fall-ball.  Aggressive.  Still allowing the step around goals from the defensive left side - 5 or 6 ???  Def. was aggressive as they need to be.  A LOT of bad passes by LS Middies and LS Defense late.   

Several freshman guys looked good when in there.  #48 on Def. Conlon Crowley made a couple of good plays - knocked the ball away and got the ground ball.   His dad was next to me - from Vestal, near Binghamton where I grew up.  Amos Whitcomb #2 looked very good on attack.    #5 Adam Thistlethwaite looked good when in there as well.    #41 Parker Winky looked good on attack. There were others too but I remember those guys.

In general, scrimmages are there to identify concerns and obtain game footage to show players how they can improve
