As reported last night by Ian, we lost big last night down at SUNY Albany to the Red Dragons and it was never close after the 2nd quarter.

 

We were actually up 1-0 and 2-1 on some nice goals in transition but began to leave too much on the table all over the field.  Throwing the ball away on the clear after big stops, not picking up contested GB's, just not ready to compete at that level, yet.

 

I was very impressed with how Cortland got after it in all phases of the game, they play with confidence, tenacity, and understand what they're trying to do in any situation. They're just a very good, smart lacrosse team.  They may not be the best team in the country but they'll be in the mix come May.

 

Overall we're just not where we want to be right now as a team and have a long way to go.  One of the realities of scheduling a tough out of conference slate is that you find out where you're at and unlike some other teams out there in our league, we're certainly not building any false confidence!  Taken the right way, we have definitely found out what our deficiencies are as a team and will begin addressing those tomorrow in practice.  We'll definitely have their attention and plan to have a great practice!

 

The good news is we're 2-0 in league play going into our Wesleyan tilt down in Middletown on Saturday.  We'll see how quick we can bounce back and look forward to getting back out there.
