Faceoffs and goalie play will likely doom us. Every other aspect of our offense and defense will have to be at their best to offset those season-long deficiencies. Can we do it? Yes. Will we? I doubt it. This could be a repeat of last year's loss to Syracuse.

Drexel fans — well, one in particular — were pissed off by the officiating. He kept bellowing that the ref was an effing a-hole. Eventually, a cop came over and stood next to him, which quieted things down.

Getting beat on ground balls

Drexel’s goalie and FO guys are very good. Wish we had them.

Faceoffs are killing us, as always

Drexel shocks Fairfield, 14-6.

We’ve been living dangerously this year — four OT wins. At some point, our luck will run out.

We looked clueless in the second quarter, but showed up in the third. Far too many penalties, and I thought Chop Gallagher had a particularly bad game. Hofstra will feel energized in the semis, given that they hung with us. We'll need to be better prepared.

Fairfield hit the pipe numerous times, so we lucked out there, but overall the second half was the best lacrosse I've seen us play all year. I suspect we'll see the Stags again in the tournament final -- they will be a tougher out that time, but we have rounded into form.

Coach Pete must be pulling his hair out -- oh, wait... In all seriousness, it has to be massively frustrating. There needs to be some remedy for the free-for-all we've been seeing. Too much planning and practice is required to achieve a cohesive, well-oiled football team, and the portal dynamics make that very very difficult.

Low IQ play almost bit us in the ass. Two penalties were called against us on the same play when one of our defenders kicked the ball out of bounds after the first flag was thrown. I also thought Nads calling time with 1:07 left in the game and Mikey headed to an open goal was ill advised. Instead of going up 3, we somehow managed to turn the ball over on the ensuing restart, which could have let Monmouth pull to within one. Despite our record in the CAA, we’re not yet a solid team. At this point in the season, I doubt we’ll become one.

I was a big Bert Jones fan too. I got to see Unitas play his last 6-7 seasons and Jones had a bigger, more accurate arm. Too bad that injuries kept him (and the Colts) from reaching the pinnacle they seemed destined to achieve.

I know someone who lives in the neighborhood across Towsontowne Boulevard from the field. Everyone there is opposed to lights.

Let's hope this propels us to better play. I thought we were going to blow it after Scott dropped that pass.

Even worse is the camerawork.
