EMORY 5
FSU 26
The game went pretty much as expected for the 'Noles. The difference in preparation was most noteable in the game, as FSU was much more polished in most areas of the game, especially clearing and riding (beyond the expected disparity on offense and defense).
Kudos to Emory's goalie for staying sharp throughout, and making some really nice saves. #10 from Emory has a pretty nice shot that he hides behind his head, not giving the keeper too much time to see it...nice placement, too. Emory's defense played as aggressively as they could, but were run down by the sheer numbers that FSU was able to send at them.
In Quinn's absence, Soph. Grover Light (transfer from Ohio Wesleyan) and Soph. Rob Herzog (transfer from Hobart) combined for roughly 10 goals and 6 assists (I didn't see the book but this is a fairly educated guess).
On Defense, Salisbury State tranfer Chris Hamilton was a great addition to Def Nate Mcfadden, Def Evan Goldberg, and G Jeff Goren, who played a solid game between the pipes. Mcfadden, Hamilton, and Goren all graduated from Lake Brantley in the Orlando FL area. Goren did a great job staying focused in the relatively patchy action he saw. Sean Beckett and Colin Proudfoot, 2nd and third string goalies respectively, got some quality minutes and both made solid saves allowing zero goals between them (I could be mistaken on that, but I don't think so).
The 'noles were able to reach their established scoring goals on offense and defense for this game scoring over 20, allowing less than 7.
Both sides played with intensity in a relatively penalty-free game.
Good luck to both teams this year.
didn't want to be the one to break the story, but quinn is redshirting because he is having ankle surgery. bork and dj will have to bear the brunt as quinn usually drew the #1 defender last year

FSU Attackman Rob Herzog is a Junior, not a Sophomore.
Cheers.
