A10 WLAX Tourny

[mr.spider]

Game Day. Vs Davidson at 3pm.

Let's go Ladies! Really fun to watch. Saw them win the tourny at vcu last year. Lots of fun! Then the kids and I traveled to Chapel Hill for the NCAA tourny. Crushed Marquette and then lost a nailbiter to UNC, the previous year's national champ.

On a 2 game skid currently. Time to right the ship and make a run!

Spiders up 5-1 at the end of the 1st qtr.

Can't let up though...UMass was up 7–1 against St. Joe's in the first game and barely eked out a 10–9 victory.

Men and women both jump out to big leads then fade as game goes on. Need to fix that.

Women fixed it. Nice comeback. Showed a lot of fight. Great stop by Goalie at the end.

Coach Harrington has a lot of weapons returning in 2025.

Watch out for the vultures like Notre Dame and Northwestern especially with our Stone Ridge Catholic HS standout Muldoon.

Young team and could be a much stronger team next year if we hang on to key players.

Tough going at Penn..........Spiders down 7-3 at half...................

 

[SFspidur]

16–5 final.

 

[urfan1]

Ouch, but a good season in all.

 

[AnnapSpider]

I think we have good coaching, good facilities, a great school,
why can’t we get over the hump? What are we lacking?

 

[urfan1]

There are other schools that have that same assets, you have to gather the right players and staff, have a system that all buy into. Its like when a champion fighter loses, its usually because the other guy was pretty good,

We lost 12 players from an NCAA team last year and we were not expected to contend
this year due to a young team. Yet we won A10 and made NCAA using a really good freshman
goalie. Believe our weakness was our defense in front of goalie. Penn was bigger and quicker.
Score could have been worse if not for gk.

agreed.But we had a number of missed scoring opportunities which we couldn’t convert in Q1 which likely would have changed the course of the match.Having 2 of our top players transfer with remaining eligibility who were also All Americans certainly lowered 2024 expectations.

 

[SFspidur]

Bringing in a couple of transfers who've been playing out on the West Coast...CC Jacobs from Oregon and Victoria Rankin from San Diego State.
