He shouldn't be at the X, but with Schrier the only other option is to move Mikey there, which was my thought from the jump. Not all DeMaio's fault. Long made no saves and McLaughlin made many key ones in the second half. Too many turnovers. Too many mistakes on D. We dominated time of possession. That's a game you have to win when your face-off man is dominating the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigerFan54 102 Report post Posted April 1, 2023 I just don't see us turning this season around. Like the b-ball team, we have a tough time closing out tight games. Frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,231 Report post Posted April 1, 2023 17 turnovers to 13. I think Stony Brook had just four or five in the second half. But the real stat that mattered? Long had just 7 saves and McLaughlin had 17. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustrating. At least the basketball team won most of their games. Lacrosse has won two games out of nine. The face-off play has improved dramatically. The three freshmen have shown flashes of greatness, but defense, turnovers and goaltender play have been erratic. You can't consistently turn the ball over 17-20 times every game and expect to win most of your games. This team should be good enough to make the CAA Tournament, but don't see much past that.

Hofstra isn't very good, but that basically turns into a must-win game next week again on LI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mat1992 2,231 Report post Posted April 1, 2023 2023 Men's Lacrosse Standings SCHOOL CAA OVERALL Stony Brook 3-0 6-4 Delaware 3-0 7-3 Drexel 2-0 5-3 Fairfield 1-1 3-6 Hofstra 1-2 3-7 Towson 1-2 2-7 Hampton 0-3 2-8 Monmouth 0-3 4-5 Still have Hofstra, Hampton, Monmouth and Delaware. For some reason, Denver is in there. If we don't go 3-1 to get to 4-3, it's over. I would think that's enough for fourth place with Drexel having the tiebreaker. A loss next week and it's probably over for the CAA Tournament, which would be beyond bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
