good question on the freshmen.
also on the topic of moving positions around- it's worked out
before. curry to defense, bitzer to attack (though he was doing
very well at mid!), pugal to short, etc.

Haun,Vanginhoven and White are some of the freshman that have
been talked
about as having a strong early showing. Still have guys like
Ozvath, Lloyd and Daly
that can make waves also.

I caught the fourth quarter of SBU-Navy. Haun had two goals and
i'm pretty sure he assisted on the other goal in the quarter. He
looked pretty comfortable out there. Otherwise I wasn't there
long enough and don't have the lacrosse IQ to add much
commentary. Hopefully others made it out there today and will
report back.

Initially, I thought we looked a little young vs. Navy, but the
boys were holding their own throughout most of the game. I also
felt like they out-sized us quite a bit as well with several
guys on their roster between 6'4" and 6'6" just bowling some of
our smaller guys over. That'll change once the younger guys put
on some muscle I imagine.
vs. ND was a different game and my favorite of the three played.
While both sides showed a little bit of sloppy passing and
throw-aways early on, I think everyone settled in by the second
half. SB came to play.. swarming ground balls, causing
turnovers, taking the body when necessary. I liked the
intensity. Bitzer and Reh did their thing and were both stepping
up. Corpo had an absolute cannon last year but was coming up
short with a lot of his bouncers and shots aimed low. The Navy
goalie had a good bead on those from the start. Hoping to see
him lighting up the corners soon. Anderson playing a great LSM.
Daly made his presence known on several occasions. Few other
observations:
#19 Maciejewski - Wizard in goal vs ND. Made some ridiculous
saves today.
#18 Matsuoka - Really turned it around vs ND -- kid hustled hard
#21 Grippe - Showed some great stick skills. Buried a few past
ND's talented goaltender -- definitely one to watch
4th Quarter vs. ND, all gears were clicking. Boys were moving
the ball well on O. Defense looking strong. Plenty of work to be
done before February, but I liked what I saw today.

wow! More than I hoped for. Though the play vs Navy was at times
slow and sloppy, I believe
mission accomplished. They played many freshman and in key
spots. White at the point on man up,
Bollinger in goal, Haun on attack. With the adjustments that
were made between games, moving
Corp back to middie adding Grippe to attack with Haun and just
having that 1st game jitters I thought
we played much much better vs ND. Mac in goal is a magician,
many doorstep saves. Bitzer solid, Rees solid,
Abdellatif and Pugal down low solid. Corp needs to go back to
middie, we need his cannon up top. Reh was his usual
I can play anywhere you want me self. Over all a very good day.

last year’s squad. The graduating class – which included
attackmen Challen Rogers and Cody Eastwood, defender Dylan
Curry, and goaltender Zach Oliveri – were key players throughout
their career as Seawolves. In Saturday’s scrimmages, the
coaching staff used the entire roster and shuffled players into
different positions to see what potential the squad might have
come 2017.

> “We lost that big senior class that scored all those goals. We
are just moving guys around to figure it out,” said head coach
Jim Nagle. “Top to bottom, I think we are more athletic, but we
are a little unseasoned and have a lot to work on. It’s a good
group. I like the way they responded today.”
>
> Rogers himself accounted for 22 goals last season and 59
points, production that Nagle admits is unlikely to be
replicated by another player on the roster. What he does have is
a deep, skilled team that will have to rely on teamwork and
chemistry on both sides of the field to find success this
season.

> “We’re going to be a different team with more two-way
potential than we’ve previously had, more by committee. I don’t
think you replace a Challen Rodgers,” said Nagle.

> One of those who will have to step up is senior Ryan Bitzer.
The Riverhead, N.Y., native was a leading scorer last season and
showed this past weekend he is still a dual threat with the ball
in 6-on-6 offense or transition. He understands how Stony Brook
will have to play this season and is looking forward to getting
his teammates involved.
>
> “We never really rely on one guy. We rely on one group,” said
Bitzer. “We are all about team ball. We all play as one.”
>
> In the first game against Navy, Stony Brook struggled to
generate momentum due to sloppiness with the ball and lack of
possession. Face-off specialist Jay Lindsay will return for the
2017 season, but is taking a semester off due to his graduate
studies.
>
> It was in the second game against Notre Dame where the
Seawolves potential new style was on display. They turned the
Fighting Irish’s offensive mistakes, as well as timely saves
from freshman goaltender Michael Bollinger, into transition
chances that ended up in the back of the net. While the
inexperienced defense will need time to grow together, longstick
midfielder Ryland Rees, Justin Pugal, and other veterans will be
pivotal to helping them out and pushing the pace forward, not
backward.
>
> “Ryland Rees and a couple of our guys can push the pace in
transition. That will probably be our hallmark more than slow
the ball down,” admitted Nagle.

SBU fan gear can be purchased from Boat House starting on Monday
(store is only open for two weeks). Thought I'd share as this
stuff is (curiously) not available through the bookstore on
campus or their online store:
