This is a good team. Don't see a FF squad or even one as good as that blew that game to Maryland in 2019. But they have to complete this to show that that horrible loss is finally behind them. You still see some reminders that we can't hold the ball with a one-goal lead late in games as we tend to panic. Downs and the defense will need to continue to improve to get that ring. Face-offs have been decent. The 10-man ride has been fantastic and the way they've played in the middle of the field getting key 50-50 ground balls and forcing turnovers is a big reason why they've won 7 straight.

I think those Lax TV announcers aren't at the game so it shows. The color commentator was bad but it's tough calling games from home so they appeared to be 5 seconds off. The face-off win by Matt C. and the Gaskins throwing it back to him after we took the lead was probably the worst decision of the game.

https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=526074 Finally, face-offs were 12-12. Matt C. was very streaky tonight. But he was big when we needed him to be. Moreno won 1 of 3 and compounded one of the losses with a penalty. The game-winner was Mauer from Villagomez at 1:31. Both were in front of the net but Mauer knocked it in for his first goal of the night and 22nd of the season. Thought it was one of the better games that Villagomez played this season. Had 3 goals on 10 shots and 2 assists. Nicky D. with 3 goals and 1 assists. Mikey W. with 1 goal on 11 shots and a late turnover. Downs had 14 saves. Both teams with 44 shots so this was a close game of two pretty evenly-matched teams. Delaware had 18 turnovers and and we had 10. That was the difference. Thought we played well defensively in the second half after giving up 6 goals in the first half, including a last-second goal before the half.

Yeah, some of the decisions in the last 3 1/2 minutes were a little mystifying -- winning the faceoff after the 10-10 goal and then being in some giant rush and throwing it away, the two times with the empty net where they looked to be bothered by the pressure and threw it away instead of maybe giving it one more beat and making an easier pass. But the D came up big when they needed to after Delaware took that 10-9 lead. BTW, how bad were those announcers on that TV feed? Woof.

Still no stats available. Thought Downs got better as the game went on. Appears that he struggled to see the ball at times. Their goaltender Ellington was fantastic though we missed about 3 bunnies in the first half. They also did a nice job on Mikey, forcing him to his off hand (right) and he's really struggling to shoot it with velocity. It's easier to say from my couch to pass the ball when you sense the slide and there are 2 or 3 poles in your face, but he's going to see a lot of that until we get another dynamic middie. Also, we need to hold the ball instead of throwing ridiculous passes late in the game up 1. We have the speed in guys like Webber, Mikey, Miedling and Potter to accomplish that, but if you see an empty net, take the layup.

SUCK IT CHICKENS!! Another heartstopper as Downs makes a huge save with 2:49 left in a 10-10 game on a terrific Delaware set play. Then as the shot clock was winding down, Villagomez hits Demaio with 1:31 left for the go-ahead goal. Great defense kept the Chickens from getting any big threat on their next possession (after a horrid Towson turnover following a timeout with 1:15 left) and then one more big steal on a bad pass from their goalie with :25 left so we could run out the clock. Nice to get the regular season crown but it's next Saturday that we really want. If we get them again, I hope we'll take better looks at how we shot on Ellington because he made a ton of good saves that he made look routine. Meanwhile, Downs got beat by at least 4 shots from 20 yards out and it looked like he had a decent view of 2 of them.

Some strange calls there. Elijah Smith with a "flop" call as we got possession late in the third quarter. Terrible shooting early on. Tough game for Mikey W. 11-10 final
-
Yeah not pretty and not that important. Who cares if we got the No. 1 or No. 2 seed, we were hosting anyway? Taking on the winner of Drexel or Strony Brook at 4pm on Thursday. Saturday is the final at 3:30pm. Trying to find some Live Stats somewhere.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

A 5-1 3rd quarter gives the Tigers an 8-7 lead heading to the final stanza. Biggest play of the game might end up being the hustle play by Webber after a Villagomez bad pass running the ball down at the bench area and then setting up Villagomez for the goal to get it to a 6-5 deficit. Better faceoffs in that quarter and better looks. Tigers dominated possession but the final 4 minutes have been marred by some questionable officiating, giving the Chickens a pair of power plays including one where Elijah Smith was sent off for flopping. The officials have been pretty dubious throughout this one.
-
Down 6-3 at half to the Chickens. Difference in my novice mind has been goaltending. We've been stuffed on two point-blank looks because we've gone high and Ellington has had the basket ready. Chickens have scored from long distance twice and Downs looked like he may have been slightly screened both times. The goal with :02 left in the half after a timeout with :09 left is a real kick in the tail.

While I'm happy to have video access to this Chickens game, the Wirecast logo fading in and out of the screen is incredibly annoying. Nice to finally dent Ellington after we've had the ball the entire 1st quarter.

Another solid pick up for Charleston in the portal

It probably won't matter as much this offseason since we seem set on keeping most if not all of our guys, but I thought this was pretty impressive that someone is tracking all of the rosters and transactions. Seems like almost an impossible task in this day and age. https://x.com/2ndChancePoints/status/1783215616029012164

The whole NIL and portal process makes you wonder what you are really giving money for. If you are from a P5 school, then you are "supporting" a professional team. In doing so, you have to think, do you just donate money to the Washington Wizards? P5 college athletics is another name for minor league professional athletes. If you are a mid-major (in basketball...since football already has the two setups FBS and FCS) you are giving money in hopes that once every 10 years or so, you hit a home run, get to the dance, get blown out by UCON and watch all of your players leave. I really don't know what I think the answer might be, but whatever it is, it something different than we are doing now.

How we feeling? Towson +100 Moneyline Good chance to double your money today?
-
Not even all league 🫣
-
My guess would be facilities, equipment, travel, scholarships etc (hopefully)
-
actually though I wonder where it goes, the portion that is set for the athletics dept.

That’s for Steve and the coach to know and for us to not find out (until a year later)
-
Will any of that money be going to secretive contract extensions for any of our coaches?

$420,000 was raised https://x.com/towsonu/status/1783588200767799729?s=46&t=nScacl1TWT-KyOwj5stBaw

Yup. Seen some guys out there 4 schools in 5 years or even better 5 schools in 6 years. (Estrada from Hofstra is one who has been all over the country) There was one this week who started at Gardner Webb, transferred to Vanderbilt, then to Georgia State and then back to Gardner Webb. There's no way all of those credits transferred and re-transferred. But this is what people wanted, players, sorry I mean STUDENT athletes, to have all the power and make money "Legally" and transfer with no consequences. Great lessons taught, if you don't play just leave. That'll work out well in the real world... With that said coaches need to and can win now with the portal. Shouldn't be seeing massive year extensions anymore at this level
