I was there for the UNC game in 1991 with no Beernink. That team had Glenn Smith (Towson HOF), Lindsay Dixon (THOF), John Blatchley (THOF), Rob Shek (THOF, NHOF), and the late Carl Beernink (THOF). The best all-around player was pole Steve Kisslinger. Nobody will top that team. The 2001 team was fast and enjoyable to watch, but wasn't as physical as this team. The 2017 team was outstanding with future HOFers in Drenner, Goodrich, Woodall, Seider and Jack Adams. That team was really, really good and it's a shame Woodall was injured. Tremendous defensive midfield with incredible speed. This team has more scorers. Yeah, it seems whenever we get to the dance really good teams, we have injuries to key guys that we can't afford to lose. Bigger programs have more depth. You can't replace 6-6, 215 with 33 goals, but I wonder why Alex Vieni hasn't played all year on the second midfield over Jamison Gaskins (6g, 16 shots). Vieni already has 7 goals on 9 shots in limited playing time. Not sure this was a potential FF squad even with Villagomez because the road would be insane. We needed a strong non-conference win. The Loyola loss still stings.
