Questions have to be asked- losing is one thing, but this is two years in row where the other team just scored a ton of goals unanswered.

ND needs to start winning some faceoff's and the defense we've talked about all year needs to wake up in the 2nd half.

Glad I didn't drive down for this holy shit

ND got the combination of bad bounces + bad calls + being thoroughly outplayed with no answer for the zone. If they got a bunch fo lucky bounces and calls maybe it's 8-5 right now but instead it's already over. They won't get to 11.

Hey Lax- what do you think about both 2 min fouls called vs ND? First one seems reasonable, but 2nd one questionable??

Unfortunate performance, especially after jumping to a 3 goal lead.

Future is bright at least, most of the starters and contributors will return next year, and back to back insane recruiting classes.

Yes I know this is more of a post game post at halftime, but this one is over.

This has been hard to watch. BUT ... give our guys a lot of credit for being good enough to be here at all.

Only two teams made the championship game. Don't dump on one of them. Our guys will feel worse than we do.

So what's up with the goalie? Is he psyched out? Is Princeton really that better at shooting? Do they shoot with unusually high velocity/spin, or are they setting unusual screens? Did he lose a contact? Honestly curious if anyone can explain what's up.

Exactly They have 42 shots
Oh wow, my bad, didnt realize what is a normal save rate in Lacrosse. Guess Ricciardelli is actually having a pretty excellent game. Seems his normal save rate is around 58% which would have Princeton at 17-18 goals at that rate...

Broadcast kept talking about how young Princeton is but their goalie, face off man and leading goal scorer are all seniors. We lose some good players but not like that
