Lacrosse loses close one, 10-7 vs Colgate at Citi Field

No, because WolverineDevotee's name wouldn't have been at the top of that post.  We all know how important it is to him that he gets to start the thead.

On the Colgate goal.

Who played in the first game? We're you there for that game as well?

But additional technical penalties would be called so longer man down.

Was at the game today.  It was cold, but not brutal.  I layered.  And drank.

M&B - 7 guys on the defensive end happens a lot.  If you go offsides, which can happen on clears (it shouldn't, but it does every once in awhile), you just stay and play defense.  The flag is already down.  There's no reason to go back onsides at that point.  I've been playing and coaching a long time, and I see it a lot - especially at the high school level.  At the D1 level offsides happens less, but if you go off when the other team has possession, that's what you do.

I dunno man.  I mean, yes, we are outmatched, but I was thinking you wouldn't have known it from just that first quarter.  Other than looking like a Mickey Mouse outfit on the offsides penalty, that is.  But they won the faceoff battle and killed Colgate's 2-man-up chance, and probably possessed the ball for the majority of the quarter.  And Logan looked great.

It's easier to defend with a long stick but easier to play offense with a short stick.  You're only allowed to have four long sticks on the field.

And there's another one.  Two guys stay with the screener, nobody takes the ball.  Talk about leaving your goalie hanging out to dry.

It's called the "Extra Man Unit" according to the email I got. Tickets were $10 for the season, including a shirt, with seats in section 1. First game is this Saturday.

San Fran probably not.  We went out and did a thing in Denver last year, and our conference will have us playing in Colorado (unless and until B1G lacrosse is a thing.)  I'd like to see us get ahold of one of the upstate NY teams like the one we're playing now, or Canisius or someone, and play a game in Toronto.  Don't think it's necessary to do a neutral-site thing in Philly or Boston with so many teams in those cities we can just do a home-and-home with.

Depends on what you mean by competing.  They are competing now.  Their last four have been close.  If you mean winning, they have a ways to go.  Another two years maybe to start winning more than a couple?  Even though this is Team Two, they only have one recruiting class in.  Watching them today, you can see the difference between the D1 recruits and the returning club guys.  They need the current freshmen to grow up, and they need two or three more classes for depth and more top end players.

Will probably be 5-10 years before they have a shot at becoming really good.
