Just a post on that one play. Re-watched it and what a play to get that tying goal. Past couple of years, it would have been relying on Ross or Knobloch doing their thing or the past two years hoping Kurdyla got free.
But that was as perfect as drawn up play we've seen in a couple of years (and you're crazy if you think it wasn't drawn up that way). Starts with Stoller making that amazing pass right into the stick of Kelly. No fake, no hesitation, just caught it and made the pass. Imagine Stoller dropped it close to Kelly, but Kelly needed to pick it up or if he got the pass awkwardly and took just a second to gather it. It would have been game over without that perfect pass.
Then Kelly draws at least 4 defenders and took just enough time to hold them before the pass to Mongillo. And Mongillo was just far enough away to not draw too much attention but still positioned for a great shot. Then that shot, JHU goalie goes low and it bounces high.
Great play. In my opinion its what is missing from the PLL these days which may have sped up the game too much.
