Going to be exciting
Always fun when Army comes into the Dome. Always a good game. I’m looking forward to this one

here's hoping the men do better than the women
I watched part of the women’s game on TV today (vs. Virginia). It wasn’t pretty.
I just wanna tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
that always amazes me, lax is su's best sport and no one shows up to watch
I’m at least making it to a couple of games this year
I'd go if there was decent train service to Syracuse, but there isn't.
I’ll see if my alum friend and I can go to the BCC.
The two sides are pretty full. No one’s allowed to sit behind the goals. I agree that I wish we had a better attendance, but we do have the highest in the nation by a decent margin.

First quarter was just domination. Second was a tad sloppy but I’ll take 9-3 at the half any day

Palesky
Army goalie is keeping them in this one though, as he always does. 7 saves for him..kinda gets lost in the fact he has given up 9 goals..Orange could have 11 or 12 goals

solid defensive / goaltending effort in the 3rd
when you consider that the ball was in our defensive end almost the entire quarter. Offense has been in a funk since the 1st Q.

Really sloppy offense in the 3rd
Thankfully Galloway is just playing a great game. Not worried, but I’d love to put a few more up there

uggh
now the defense is letting us down too

Oh lord. I’m wondering what happened there. The first half of the game they were making Army look like a scrub team on both ends. I don’t know if they just let their foot off the gas or what. They looked like they forgot how to pass and make smart choices. It’s not even like Palesky was standing on his head or anything. Last year in the regular season, he had 21 saves and allowed 12 goals. In the second half, Palesky had two saves and we scored two goals. We just kept turning the ball over and making mistakes. In the first half we out-shot them 25 to 8. In the second half they out-shot us 20-9. We just weren’t valuing the ball or making good plays. I’m glad to have the win, but I’m hoping that was not symptomatic of anything.
That Jeremy goal in the first half was DIRTY though. Jojo is really looking like he belongs in number 22. Five points (3 goals, 2 assists). Great game for Baby Desko as well. He’s continues to absolutely earn his time on the field. With Palasek coming in as another feeder, some people said that Palasek should start and Desko should do mostly Man Up. But he keeps proving that we need him on the field. Clears were great and the ride looked great. The man up still seems like it needs work. Galloway looked good most of the game but had a couple of moments of WTF. He got some good saves on outside shots which have traditionally been rough for him.
Jeremy looked good at the X (4-6). But that situation still seems to be a little up in the air. Watching the game it felt like we were losing a lot down the stretch but the stats don’t reflect it.
