Meh. Opportunities are there. Hanging sticks a bit getting to the middle. Keep getting clean looks they will be fine.

2-1 irish as they are speeding the game up

 

[IrishTusker]

Is it allowed to simply push players to the ground? Hopkins is doing that and nothing is called.

As long as it is not from behind, I believe it is okay.

 

[laughingirish92]

3-2 hopkins as they want this to be a game played in the mud according to announcers and irish want to play fast

 

[laughingirish92]

Yago with back to back goals as irish lead 5-4

 

[stpeteirish]

Ugh Hopkins with a goal 9 seconds left in half 5-5

 

[stpeteirish]

Donavan can’t handle Collison who is 245 lbs. Need to put Lyght on him

 

[laughingirish92]

game tied at half and irish coach told sideline reporter that defense has to play better and that he wasn't happy with them giving up three set piece goals

Didn't the staff refuse to switch the defender on the PSU star last year? And we remember how that went.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

Well that escalated quickly

 

[laughingirish92]

9-6 irish early 3rd and huge from announcers that the best defensive player for hopkins won't play second half due to wrist injury

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Watching with sound off thanks to Quint Kessenich. The absolute worst.

 

[arrowryan]

Penalty for pointing at the scoreboard? That ref is a massive bitch.

Why is it 5 on 5 if JH had 2 penalties to our 1?
Sorry lacrosse newb here

Nevermind, guess the JH has to stay out longer than our guy.

Both penalties on same guy

 

[NDVirginia19]

Offense kicked ass that quarter

 

[laughingirish92]

defense improved just enough in second half that hopkins really didn't have a chance once offense made it a multiple score lead

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

Great win. Championship weekend 3rd time in 4 years.

 

[laughingirish92]

a good game going on now with cuse vs unc and winner taking on our irish next weekend

 

[laughingirish92]

well Syracuse it is next weekend as they win a very sloppy game against UNC

 

[Steds83]

Absolutely perfect day- 75°, not a cloud in site, and a lovely crowd of ~10k fans.

So great to see Yago and Jeffrey playing some of their best ball in the tournament. We know Syracuse doesn’t quite have the d-mid depth to stifle us; really hoping we keep the fireworks going next week.

Defense dialed in for the second half- though I’d be lying if I said Ricciardelli didn’t worry me a little bit against Cuse. This week we continued to deploy some extra d-mids and show off just how deep this team is. It was a shame the field was in such poor shape; there was so much to enjoy outside of it! ☘️
