Our defense broke down yesterday

...but teams have not been getting a ton of close in shots this year and that's why we've won games. Syracuse was consistently backing the ball out because they couldn't solve our defense. We limited Duke to 6 goals on the first game. The reason we've been so good is that our D typically pushes people out so they are taking shots that are easy for our goalie to see.

Our D played a shitty game yesterday. Even Navy's goalie, who played out of his ever-loving mind Saturday, couldn't stop everything.

You can complain about our offensive flow or lack there of. But defense has been the least of our worries for oh, the last dozen years. If not longer.

North Carolina broke down our defense.

They scouted us well, had a game plan, knew our weaknesses, defended well, had a good goalie performance and appeared to be a step faster. Yes, we lost the game but we were beaten by a team that was better yesterday and better the last time we played them. I would have hoped that after being embarrassed in the 4th quarter of the last game we played them, that we would be out for revenge. It didn't appear that we were. Enough lacrosse for 2016.
Be back next year.
