Princeton Week

[Caliknight]

Always a different week in the program. Obviously a lot to clean up. Watching them against UNC right now. They are going to be a handful. They attack at every level of the field they have multiple snipers. The D and Stoller are going to need to play very well. Defensively they are stout, especially their close D which is able to match feet really well and is very aggressive.


One area we may have an advantage is in the faceoff game. Paolatto and crew are going to have to play very well to keep the ball from their offense and when we get chances they must be converted.

They’ve now knocked off Duke and UNC in a two day stretch. They are for real.

14-12. Agreed that faceoffs may be an issue for them. Probably ranked #1 this week with NDs loss.

Actually it will be Maryland. Princeton #2

 

[Local Shill]

My prediction is pain.

I think Notre Dame will hold on to #2. The common opponent is the likely #1 team, who had less of a struggle with Princeton than with Notre Dame...

You appear to be right. But I look at it as Princeton playing 4 Top 10 teams, 3 on the road, vs. Cleveland St. and Marquette. "Luck" of the Irish.

Princeton has a much more impressive resume than ND to date.

I agree with you and Cali that Princeton deserves to be #2.

Wow, they had the stones to go down to North Carolina and play those two games in three days...

 

[Caliknight]

Gotta give them credit. I said last year after watching them they are going to be very good for the foreseeable future. They have a lot of talent across the board.

And hats off to Maryland. I don't love it but they continue to roll. Talent, coaching, support, it's all at an elite level.

Are we looking at a potential 15-20 goal loss to either PU or MD this year?

 

[aardvark34]

Can't we just skip ahead a week

Got a friend willing to give me RU getting 10 and I can't believe Im slow to take it. An attack unit that doesn't carry well vs a Princeton close D that matches feet leaves me believing it may be difficult to score even 5.

Stoller and the FOGOs (Princeton does not have a great FOGO) are your hope. But the odds are still long. I'd grab 20, as some seem to believe.

Definitely agree on Stoller and the FOGOs. I can’t even believe it’s a conversation to get 10 but here we are. That SHOULD be the easiest money to make all season but I digress.
