M Lacrosse beats Mercer 20-7 for 3rd win in program history
Team 3 is off to a rocky start going down 22-7 to PSU last week. John Paul called it the second worst loss of his coaching career going back to the mid-90s.
Michigan gets Mercer at Oosterbaan Field House tonight in the home opener. A more than winnable game. Michigan got their first win in program history against the Bears in 2012 down in Jacksonville in a 14-4 blowout.
Keys to the game: keep the damn ball in the offensive zone all game.
EDIT: WOOOOOO they did more than keep it in the offensive zone!
Michigan steamrolls Mercer. 12 different Wolverines score, 6 had two or more goals and Andrew Portnoy had a hat trick.
Michigan gets Detroit on Wednesday night at Ultimate Soccer Arenas in Pontiac. I expect you to be there!
GO BLUE!

No offense to our team...but if we beat Mercer 20-7 how awful is that team? Goodness
February 15th, 2014 at 1:43 AM ^
Michigan is a young team playing without their goalie. Mercer isn't any good, but blowing them out is still a very good sign. Without injuries, I thought they'd win 4-5 games this year, but now it's probably more like 3-4, which means you have to win the easy ones.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
Exceeded my expectations and that should really help this team with their confidence. They needed a win, and got a convincing one.
