MLax falls to No. 3 Duke, 10-8

Recommended Posts

The turnovers this far into the season are becoming maddening.  And yet, they storm back to take the lead and then they sort of wheeze out on offense.  Hitting that pipe wasn't helpful either.  The defense and goaltending continues to get better but it still feels like the offense is spinning its tires.

Yeah, I hate to get on Nads and Gilardi but the offensive recruiting is shaky as hell. All of our athletes go on the defensive end like Goodrich, Wilkerson, Koby Smith, Ewell, etc. We had guys that could dodge last year from out top like Mike Lynch and even Tyler Young. I don't get why we don't have guys with that kind of quickness and speed. Instead, we have Sunday, who is really and attackman and is too slow for midfield. He also struggles with fundamentals. Sovero has some ability. Chetner makes good plays and bad ones. Maloof is a good shooter but not much of a dodger. They wouldn't even let him get his hands free today. Giufreda has some quickness but he's weak with the ball. Jake McLean seems to be our most athletic offensive midfielder but he must not have many skills because he doesn't do a whole lot on offense.

That lack of quickness contributes to those turnovers because Duke's defenseman were able to challenge us up top and get in our jock. We couldn't get around them save or a few times.
