Game Day: Wesleyan

Since the game this weekend we have been healing up and are starting to have a full roster once again. This past weekend we lost to our conference rivals Keene State 7-6. It was a tough game on both sides of the field. We had some communication lapses on the defense, we didn't finish our chances on offense, and we were not clearing the ball efficiently. Having those three happen in one game is not State Style lacrosse and will not win many games. The positive thing about those three things is they are fixable and everyone understands their role to make that happen. We have all used this loss to fuel our fire not put it out. We have been clicking more each day and hope to improve our showing with a win against Wesleyan tonight. They have been known to run a tough zone defense but with some tweaks to our offense it doesn't look to be unbeatable. We are playing tonight at 7:00pm at the Mansfield Complex. We hope to see everyone there routing us on as we face against a tough NESCAC opponent.

*Shout out to Blake Smaldone for his impressive showings in his first two collegiate starts. With 6 saves in his first start, first win against conference opponent Salem State, and an amazing 17 saves against conference rival Keene State. Leaves us holding our breath as he runs down the field but seems to have a good vision of the field and so far hasn't been "that guy." Keep up the good work, and keep standing on your head.
