True, but not a lot of data points this early to figure out how good or not Harvard is likely to be. The other data point is that they beat UMass-Lowell 10-9 in their first game. UMass-Lowell was picked to finish dead last in America East. Is an America East poll any more ot less reliable than the Ivy poll ? That was supposed to be the funny part. Bottom line, Harvard is likely a mediocre team this season based on expectations and early results.

America East has the best player in the country...kid tore it up in his first game in his collegiate career with a blowout win at Syracuse!

awesome game is right, there was offense!!! How about Tesoro with 14 saves, ridiculous. How about giving that guy a high five on jumping back after getting shelled by Vermont. That is the athletic offense we are talking about. I little BTB action, fake and fire, gutting it out through 2 OT's. Look at the stats from #45. Kid is solid and a beast, Universtiy of South Carolina Transfer WHAT!!! Great games by Babiak (five goals), Kodzis (2 Goals 2 asssits with one assist to win) and Lynskey (3 goals and the winner). Defense played tough and was doing all they could to an offense that is typically the highest recruited class. Good Job Latt, kids looked fresh and he played a lot of guys which keep them fresh on a hot day in Cambridge for double OT. I think there was a lot to learn about this team today on how to handle the pressure to be 8-5 behind to get 4 in a row and take the lead. Keep motivating those kids they want to win. Glass is 3/4 full today

They had an atrocious turnover at the end of regulation coming out of a timeout with the ball and a one goal lead.

Love a win for the day. I remember we were beating Harvard 2 years ago and blew the lead and lost in double OT. Come on man, first win in 35 years soak up the sun a bit. We had 11 turnovers compared with 23 a couple of days ago. BTW, Harvard's fogo was a highly recruited player and lots of accolades about him and our transfer and Winchester gem out hustled him.

I don't know much about lacrosse but I see in this young season that we've made a dramatic improvement in winning face offs thanks to #45 O'Connell whom hccape cited

Those polls do not tell much, if anything, about how a given team played in a given game, so I choose not to care about them when I congratulate HC on their win in LAX.

Harvard president to meet with Fr B today Demanding change and a de-emphasis of our lacrosse program HC won a game; clearly that is not possible if we are playing fair.

next up - at Lehigh on Saturday - they're 2-1 coming off Saturday's 13-12 overtime loss to UNC in Chapel Hill. Needless to say, will be a tough one. We play this sport against serious D.1 competition

Lehigh, has got a good team this year. Like we have all said there are no easy games this year. There are currently 3 teams in the PL that are ranked in the top 20, Army, Loyola and now Colgate. Vermont is in there as well as a mention for Providence. There is some positive things about our team. The d was running short with injuries and illness and there is an upside to that, Murphy has not played yet. Offensively I think there needs to be some tweeks to the EMO but keep the pressure on like they did against Harvard. This team is better than we showed the first two games. Turnovers have to be controlled but it will happen and thats part of the game, just have to keep them to single digits if possible. Keep, 45 healthy.

Extra man offense
I think it’s a special formation

Extra man offense I think it’s a special formation Yes, similar to a power play in hockey. It is 6 offensive players vs 5 (or fewer) defensive players, not counting the goalie. There are various ways to run the offense when up a man, and obviously the defense has to play zone.

Talk about getting a triple bogey after an eagle. Disappointing performance today. Looked at some of the stats. One is still the EMO, better put another combination out there. 0-3. Faceoff we were 9-22, it seemed worse, only because Lehigh picked up 44 GB's compared to our 33. Both teams had the same amount of TO 19. Lehigh was 15-33 on SOG, they did not miss much, or did we not save much. Once again like Vermont they just played us mostly in zone and the coach has not figured out how to play against this. I believe the tools are there. The guys who played well on Tuesday were not in the mix today. On to next week. Lattimore will need to find away to keep these guys motivated. The just got their teeth knocked in by Vermont and Lehigh and they have the same defense, well and offense, so if I am a betting man i would say coach get a plan together and change up your emo. Extra man offense, thats and advantage, how about getting a shooter in there.
Lets go fellas its only one PL game.
