Re: Cornell & Colgate @ RPI & Union (2/3, 2/4)
You are right on all with your assessment. The Clarkson game was a very good contest and one the Engineers could easily have won. They didn't and that is just the way this season is going. It looks a lot like Colgate last year.
The big problem is, and has been all season, the offense. Nobody has stepped up to be the Go-To guy so far. The seniors have been mostly disappointing this season, though improved play from that class has been a main reason for the current good streak. This team looks a lot like the teams in the early Appert years. They play hard and usually play well defensively, but they exhibit very little skill on offense and can't finish. Despite all the hype around Laliberte, and some of the other frosh, they are still freshmen and they have just not produced a lot yet. We can hope that changes with the addition of the new recruits next season, but this year is what it is. This team has to hope to win 2-1 most nights.
That said, if they continue to put forth efforts similar to the last 3 weekends they will be fun to watch and could scare some teams in the playoffs.
LGR!

) but we live in a funky area where, unless I install a 10-foot rotating rooftop antenna, we can only get ABC broadcast TV with the rabbit ears. Anyone know if there will be a live internet video feed available somewhere? (I could search later if necessary, thought I'd ask here first....)
