RMLC Week 8(3/28-4/3) Discuss/Report Scores here

Actually it was the year after they went to the FF. BYU won 10-8 in 2004 I think after Whittier went to FF in 2003. The Poets were in the quarters in 2004.

Alex is correct.

Good job, boys!

That's almost the same score as CSU/CC. This is the same CC team that beat Whittier 13-6? Very interesting, indeed.

The RMLC schedule in April should be fun to see...

The score was 7-0 at one point in the BYU-CC game today. BYU's defense doesn't seem to be suffering to much with the loss of Archibald for the year. And rumor also had it that Glenn M. played amazing today.

[CATLAX MAN]

What happened to Archibald?

[byualum]

Torn ACL on the FLA trip last week.

[CATLAX MAN]

Wow, that's 2 of those now BYU. How unfortunate for those young men. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for both of them.

[byualum]

It's actually their 3rd...they lost defenseman Paul Sabey to an ACL in the fall.

Ok so I have to ask fort why would you put up 27 on pueblo? Like isn't their a point you stop or work on ball movement or something else? 27-3 Why would you run up the score that much to pad your stats? we started putting in our 3rd middie lines against regis in the late second quater and our 4th and 5th start of second half but we could have run up the score against regis but honestly what is the point? after 10+ goals you don't get anymore "weighting" on lax power, so.....? Just curious what the strategy or thought was behind this game on behalf of fort?

We have all had this conversation before. Even if your third and fourth lines are playing at the end of the game I think that if they can score, let them. 24 goals is not the worst i've seen. There is hardly a difference between CSU winning 22-1 against Utah State or 22-2 against UNC.

[canalacrosse]

CSU-F playing UNC is non divisional so who cares. Plus your playing a divison A team what do you expect? So I do think there is a difference between a CSU-F V. UNC game and a Fort Lewis V. Pueblo game.

[MF]

The point is if they are playing 2nd and 3rd string why are they to run around and just pass the ball. There is no difference between CSU v UNC to FLC v CSU-P. Their 2nd and 3rd sting are getting thier PT and they are going to run around and not take shots! Doesn't sound like something I would want to do.

I like most of us have been on both sides of this. I have always been on the side that no matter who is in you play as hard as you can. If you have your starters in the entire game, padding stats that is different than 2nd and 3rd string getting thier chance to play.

I witnessed this type of thing during the high school basketball season this year where Aurora Central the #1 team in the state most of the year would beat teams by 50+. I think that you can’t tell players not to play as hard. These players have to get as much playing time as possible because they are preparing for playoffs and possible at large bid t the national tournament and having weak teams in your league only hurts your strength of schedule for those at large bids. If I was Fort I would have gone with my regular rotation and played them way they know how. This is college Lacrosse guys, I believe CSU-P game plan was poor and didn’t have anything to stop Forts Offense hands down. All I have to say is that you don’t hear UNC bitching when they lost to CSU-F 22-2. Playing better teams only makes your team better and it was a div B vs. div B so I see no problem with it.

hs notes: Grinder pete's team beat has no left's team on sat. My team beat weber lax's team. HNL picked both wrong...Oh, I mean the lax swami!! Thanks for the bulletin board material.

[AflacLax]

Well put dunkonu, but also remember what Marc Failer said is correct and it's a good move to play 2nd stringers and get them experience.
