Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Michigan won the game they should have won. They defeated the now-0-8 Furman Paladins, 11-9.

This is the first road in program history!

Michigan is now 3-4 on the season.

They travel for their final ECAC opener against Bellarmine a week from today for their next game.

Calling all lax experts.

 

My 5 y/o boy wants to start lax this spring. I have to get a stick and a mouth guard- any advice on a stick for a little one? any general advice for lax at this age?

STX, Brine, Warrior and a bunch of other companies make a lot of beginner'/children's sticks nowadays.  You can probably get one for about $30.  Make sure it resembles a real stick though - and its not one of the tiny/novelty stickks.

You'll want to make sure its somewhat lightweight and has a pliable yet not-too-deep pocket.  Basically you wanna make sure your kid can handle it to get the feel and practice the fundamentals.  Good luck  and have fun!

My 10 y/o son is on his 2nd year.  I bought him a $30 Warrior Torch last year... no frills, bottom of the line stick.  I think anything in the $30-40 range works as they all tend to have wider heads, and soft mesh (I think soft is better for beginners.)  You'll need to cut the shaft down for a 5 y/o.  Check with your coach or consulate your local rules on if there is a minimum length for his age group.  Look online for tips on how short to cut it.

Hat Trick King gets his second of the game to put Michigan ahead and then Mike Hernandez scores off the faceoff to put Michigan up 8-6.

King, Paras and Hernandez each have two goals.

Glad to see we're moving up from uncompetitive to just a bad team - and I don't mean that as a dig. We seemed to be fairly lost in our first few years as a D1 team, it's nice to see us start to beat the bad teams on our schedule and stay competitive with the good ones. We're getting there and I can't wait for when this is a top 25 program

Phew!  They needed that one.  Maybe they can surprise Bellarmine next week!  Go Blue! 

In other bizarre news Cornell just beat #2 UVA.  man that would've been a huge win!

that's a 2nd road win for Michigan. Win over Detroit Mercy at Ultimate Soccer Arenas is a road win since that's their defacto home field, but it's really a netural game.
