Lax beats Mercer 14-4 FIRST WIN IN PROGRAM HISTORY
Today at 10, the lacrosse team is taking on Mercer in Flordia. The game is being streamed live on laxx.tv. The web site is free so lets get as many people watching as possible.
As for the game itself, Mercer is a very bad D1 team. They are currently 0-4 with losses to Detroit, Ohio, North Carolina, and Bellarmine. Common opponent being Detroit, Mercer lost 16-7, while we lost 13-9. I know it is hard to compare teams based on scored, but what i will say is that Michigan lost to Detroit in their very first lacrosse game ever at the D1 level, Mercer lost to Detroit in the 4th game of the season at home. This is Mercer's second season as a D1 program.
Should be a great game, but i think we will see Michigan pull out a 3-4 goal victory today and see Team One get the first win in program history.
Let's hope they get the stream up soon. Go Blue!
2-0 early in 1st
The @LaxxTV website is busted. Watch on their UStream page instead: bit.ly/yVoK9o
I cannot wait to see this in person when Michigan visits Rutgers in April.
Didn't hear who got it, but scored almost even with GLE
Pretty goal in the slot off of a move around the cage.
Mercer is outplaying us, but can't get any shots on goal and when they do Weiss is making some great saves
But we seem to have the ball all the time. That's good, right?
Yeah, but we are still playing sloppy at times.
Pass from X to front of net, easy goal for Mercer. Shiity D by Michigan.
Michigan about to go man-up.
Use a "trick play" on the man-up
Michigan scores and a late hit on Mercer. Michigan on the man-up for a minute.
good to hear it, but someone needs to practice at home...
at the half
Michigan up 6-1 at halftime. They can get this.
7-1 Michigan
8-2 with 5 to go in 3rd
I'm really glad they're wearing the winged helmet. I saw them in Philly when they had the exhibition tournament w Towson and St Johns(?) and I wasn't a fan of the maize helmets with the old school wolverine on it
Mercer with a goal after the TO
8-3
This is a really nice broadcast (with actual announcers) for an internet stream
they sure didn't pick a ball color to show up on tv against a green background...
In the girls game they use a yellow ad it still isn't easy to track the ball. The ball is about the size of a baseball and at this level the passes are fast enough that it is hard to track the ball while it is in the air. Mostly watching the player reaction for TV broadcasts.
has anyone told them about the red spectrum?
It sounds like there's actual a respectable amount of Michigan fans there (family?)
Yealy with his first of teh day
not so good
fire now
Horrible reporting
so i don't know if that's representative or not, but that last goal was pretty
Yealy again
10-3 Michigan
Yealy again. 11-3. It's looking like Team 1's going to get the program's first win ever so if you aren't watching now, you should turn it on because there's only one first win
Yealy with his third
Using hockey terms, that was a rocket from the blue line (even though there's no blue line)
12-3
Paras with his 4th
it's good to see us just totally outclass an opponent so early
edit: i thought 13-3 but the broadcast scoreboard is either behind or something got called off...?
edit 2: broadcast caught up. they seem to be having some trouble, but it's free so whatever.
that was amazing.
13-3
13-3 now
13-4, but our backups are in
13-4 now
2:51 to go
Really got Michigan sliding and got a good shot over Weiss's shoulder.
go blue!
14-4 now. That was on the man advantage (is that called a PP in lacrosse?)
Probably about 2:00 to go
Other call them Extra Man Opportunity (EMO)
