UMass Lowell 2024-2025 Season: Expectations are.....Expectations

what i want to see. I keep saying puck control but I think that's hard to ask. Its not in the current style for them to come out like the 12-17 teams. They can't corral them on defense, and pucks bounce off of sticks on offense.

1. quick controlled puck movement on the power play. No panic, if you aren't the answer on the points shuffle it around and somebody else will find an answer. the power play is all about getting the opportunity to find holes. Make them work, no trickery
2. opportunism. Shoot first and don't panic if it doesn't work out. Trust your stick and find holes and seams.

Emphasis on #2. STOP passing up on shots. There are no bad shots on goal at this point.

So I went nowhere tonight... possible full day tomorrow... but since I did nothing today...

wlax 71/131... Bryant 57, UMBC 65, Albany 68
mlax 67/77 and 3-3... creamed by Fairfield 19-4... don't expect much. 2 more wins tops (NJIT 72, Bingo 57).

I'll look into if there a computer rankings for baseball and softball.... but both of their records are bad so I don't expect much

This season is already a success for Men's Lax. They hadn't won a game for 2 seasons.

This isn’t unique to this year’s team. Are they doing that because Norm teaches that? This has happened so much over recent seasons.

I think that's a teaching choice

late edit: i have no way of knowing that. I just know I've seen it happen so long

because i'm a glutton for punishment, I looked up prices for plane tickets to orono... pass... though there's a surprising number of directs to bangor
 
40 shots on goal. Nice to finally see something that resembles an attack. Good win by the team, and at least get one more game. It was wonderful to see the freshmen step up and they really seemed extremely happy to get the win.
