Evan Long back in net so Shane Brwennand will miss another week. I'll keep track of the game since most I assume won't watch or spend to watch in the final non-conference game.

Koby Smith is out. Not sure the reason, but I know he's had leg issues all seaosn.

Up 4-1. Evan Long has been incredible with 9 saves with 1:17 left in the first quarter. Still getting destroyed on face-offs though.

5-1 after one quarter. They are really spreading around the scoring with goals from Stewart, Avanzato, Gallagher (who needs to play more), DeMaio and Shilling.

Good half. Up 7-3. DeMaio and Shilling with two goals apiece. Long has a ridiculous 14 saves.

If they only played one half, we'd be a good team. But alas they don't. Game is now 7-6. Long not as sharp. No face-off wins. Nads had not made one change at the X. Might be time.  Constantinides has won just 3 of 15.

Outshot 52-37 and lost 12-9. You can't have that. 31 shots on goal. Not having Smith didn't help, but it goes back to face-offs. Constantinides won just 6 of 25. He did not use Santora. Just puzzling to me, the lack of adjustments. Sure, Jack Hannah went nuts with 6 goals on 14 shots. Can't let him do that. Just like last week against O'Neill. But again, we rarely had the ball in the second half because we can't win draws. So shot selection needs to better. EMO has to be better. Think Chop Gallagher needs to play more. Milani rarely plays now. He was the third midfielder with Ducommun and Gallagher. Berkeley is just getting shut down, as teams are doubling him and taking away his right hand. They are taking away DeMaio's left and he's shooting right and not finishing.

At least they played better than last week and Long did have 19 saves.
