SB vs Fairfield 3/15 1pm
By: Chairman of the Board Date: March 12, 2014, 8:16 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I think SB and Fairfield are very similar programs. In 2012 we
went up there and blew a lead and lost 13-10, with a lot of
freshmen playing their first ever game in college. It was so
long ago, Andreassi was playing attack. ;D
Rooney had a big game that day. But Fairfield had two longtime
classes come of age and piled up some talent. They were
legitimately good that year. They beat Hof, Denver, and OSU
that year, but fell in the ECAC finals to the national champs,
Loyola. Last year they had a good season too. They beat Denver
(a F4 team) and lost by one to UNC.
So who graduated? Sam Snow, who lit us up in 2012. A lot of
players return, maybe one defenseman graduated. One question i
have is what happened to Greenfield? Is he hurt? He was a
bigtime player for the Stags and im not sure where he is this
year.
This year, nothing fancy until toppling Yale last weekend. FYI-
Yale is the real deal this year. Sperry on attack is a dual
threat and McLinden at mid exploded against Yale. Sounds like
Yale was sliding early to him (didnt see the footage). Warden
on attack was the beneficiary of some of these feeds and had a
big game against Yale too. He is a finisher and no one has
contained him yet this year.
SB had a mixed bag the last two contests; looked pretty good/bad
against #1 Maryland; looked pretty good/bad against unranked
SHU. What i can tell you is that its goalie by committee,
seeing all three goalies get significant time and starts in only
6 games.
What i like about the offense is that its not a one trick pony-
we have at least 6-7 guys who are a threat to score AND feed.
Our players now are less "role" players than we had in the past
and more versatile. EMO is a strength, and turnovers were down
against SHU.
Clearly we still need to shake things out on defense, changing
in 3 goalies and switching Harris and Curry around. Time will
tell and im patient. Clearing was near perfect against SHU.
50' and PC with a chance of rain up in CT. Go Seawolves.
