Uggg. Just got home. Was at a house warming party for a friend. Good thing that it's a lacrosse house. Me and two other coaches with all of our lacrosse kids huddled around the TV.
@rampageripster pretty well captured it... emotionally, the really disappointing thing to me, at least the part that I'm thinking about now, is early in the game we had two feeds to the crease on stick for what would have likely been goals. They went the other way as TOs. Would have been a very different game.
Difference in my mind was our short stick defense. Too many times we just got blown past on dodges for scores. Not going to single out any players, it's a team game... but I think that Nick wanted to see if we could match up with our D ahorties and intentionally didn't bring help early. In a nutshell, that was the ballgame from what I saw.
Hats off to these kids. One hell of a season. Sad that, just like all the other sports, we get to cheer for them for such a short time.
6 All Americans
Was it 6 MLL drafted? A bunch anyhow...
A crap ton of wins.
Beating the three other teams who made it to the final four in the regular season.
Great memories for these kids.
And a new bar for the program.
Tell me all that would happen this season back in February? Yeah, I'll take it. Note I didn't even include making it to Memorial Day. Yup, hell of a year.
Go Bucks! Get back after it next fall!
