My two cents….though I will always default to Lax and others who have been around the game far longer than I (would like to think my analysis has improved over time).
Always a tough challenge when a game like this is both your first game outdoors and at the same time your first game against a high quality opponent.
Georgetown in particular loves to clamp down on the crease and make it extremely difficult for Jake Taylor to score and others to get easy access inside. This can throw a wrench into a lot of offenses (see even just us last year), especially when you are still gelling as a team.
I think there’s a lot of value from a game like this (though obviously would’ve preferred to cruise): the boys faced some adversity, rose up to meet it, and very clearly know they need to improve their turnovers and GBs as Maryland and the rest of the schedule picks up.
Very encouraged by Ricciardelli, and am still amazed at the sheer depth of quality midfield scorers we have, especially with Faison and Jeffrey back.
