Great Recap of Michigan Lax Win

Submitted by weasel3216 on

Great Lax State has a great wrap up of the first ever lacroose win in Michigan D1 history.  Here is a linkhttp://www.greatlaxstate.com/2012/michigan-14-mercer-4?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=GLSTweet.  

The only thing i would add to his analysis is that Michigan's defense gave up too many cutters down to the crease, cutters that were left too open.  Thankfully Mercer is not very good and were not able to take advantage of these opportunities.    

I am sure the coaching staff will address these issues in film breakdown prior to the Loyola game on Wednesday.

By the way, Great Lax State is great for coverage of Michigan lacrosse, Tim is great on his lax coverage.  He used to be on mgoblog a lot for lax coverage, but has focused on his own blog now.

I think he's the biggest key to our early success.  Since he's been in we've looked like a different team.  A good goalie can make a big difference, and he's very good for a freshman.  He might be the difference between us being a pretty good team in a few years, and a pretty damn good team.

I'm not sold on Weiss yet.  He has to be a HUGE upgrade from what they've had so far this season.  That much is obvious.  But they will have great goalies coming in their next few recruiting classes who might be a lot better.  The Zonino kid in the 2013 class is legit.

I see a defense that is sliding early to everything.  That's going to leave guys open inside sometimes, but it's also going to disrupt offensive flow and make it harder to find those guys.
