Eight starters — including pure finisher Brody Eastwood (62G,
6A) — plus Stony Brook transfer Zach Oliveri in net, have the
Seawolves in contention to challenge Albany for the America East

I question an article that states bitzer is an attackman (listed
at mid, played two years as mid) and also writes "bitzer will
become a regular starter".
and that jim nagle coached at Harvard.
but anyway. looks like the moves are: bitzer to attack, curry
to close, and tyler Anderson getting the nod at LSM. possibly
sichenzia back to attack.
it's starting to sound like easty on attack with possibly bitzer
at x, maybe sichenzia, and then sheets/Schultz on the wing.
roughly speaking.

[quote]Stony Brook
Brody Eastwood, Sr., A and Challen Rogers, Sr., M
Brody Eastwood (Victoria, B.C.) does essentially one thing on
the lacrosse field: he gets open, catches and finishes with his
left hand. During the 2015 season, he only scored three
unassisted goals, tallied just six assists and recorded only 11
turnovers, but still managed do more than his part to fill up
the stat sheet by scoring 59 assisted goals — nine more than any
other player.
Though the variety of Eastwood’s game might be limited, it is
difficult to understate the prolific rate and astounding
efficiency at which he manages to do what he does best. On his
way to a 62-goal season in 2015, opposing goalies only saved 14
of his shots and only 21 of them were off target (and three of
those hit the post). The combination of putting more than 78% of
his shots on goal and having goalies save less than 19% of them
means that Eastwood was the most efficient shooter in all of DI
lacrosse. His career total of 146 goals in just 50 games puts
Zach Greer’s DI career mark of 206 within reach, and the rate of
2.92 goals per game would have him in a tie for the 21st best
career average of all time.
The primary beneficiary of Eastwood’s finishing ability in 2015
was Mike Rooney, who accumulated 30 assists feeding the ball to
Eastwood. One of the players tied for second on the team with
eight assists to Eastwood is another Canadian: midfielder
Challen Rogers (Coquitlam, B.C.).
Those that don’t pay attention to the box game might to
surprised to learn that Rogers is actually one of indoor’s top
defenders. Big, fast and athletic at 6-4, 220 lbs., he makes
such an impact on the defensive end that he was not only named
the top defender in the British Columbia Junior A Lacrosse
League, but also was named the league's MVP. He has the talent
to merit consideration as a first-round pick in the 2016 NLL
draft.
Given his size and position, the natural comparisons are to
either Myles Jones or Sergio Perkovic. Rogers is less of a
ball-dominant creator than Jones, and while he is a good
step-down shooter, he lacks Perkovic’s overpowering cannon. In
short, Rogers is probably best described as a more, well,
Canadian version. While he can certainly use his physical
abilities as a dodger, he also excels as a cutter off-ball with
the stick skills to finish inside.

I believe they they interviewed Nagle so the Bitzer move might
be true. Nagle does love him. Also, the Harvard thing was a
copy and paste job that should have been changed to "Record at
Stony Brook"
Surprised Curry is playing down low

Inside Lacrosse had Stony Brooks defense ranked 10 overall in
D1. They mention Reh is one of the best shorties in the
nation, Curry as a top LSM, even thought he might play down low
and Randell is a shut down defender. Gotta think having
Oliveri in the cage help the rankings.

[/quote]I saw it in the mag. Not sure it's posted online yet.
They had SB ranked 23rd overall which is a bit low for this
homer.

ahh I see.
I somehow doubt our D (though likely to improve this year!) is
ranked 10. with that said, I also agree that 23 is too low
overall. we have some early tough tests that should all be
close games. SJU, brown, Fairfield, Hof, UA.
RuTgers might be a different look without Nardella and Alleyne,
but then again, we always have a close one with the knights.
out of those 6, if we can win 3-4, we make an argument for top
20. losing to SHU or BC will sink us.
I really have a feeling that the writers/rankers don't really
see the teams play, they just look at the rosters and the
preseason honors and go off that. they see what makes a splash.
like a transfer goalie who made waves in HS. or a successful
HS coach joining as a volunteer defensive asst.
I say this because I don't believe our defense- which is
returning everyone- is really top ten considering it was ranked
48th in GPG (nearly 11) against a weaker schedule. hope im
wrong. but we gave up 13 to Binghamton and needed OT to beat
them- at home no less- to sneak into the AE tournament.
