2011 Lacrosse National Title Game: Maryland-Virginia Open Thread

via images.lax.com

Happy Memorial Day, everyone. I don't know if you've heard, but it's been a long time since the Maryland men's lacrosse team won a national title. Like, 36 years.

With any luck, that streak will be ending today. The normally snake-bitten Terps are in their first national title game since 1998, taking on Virginia this afternoon at 3:30. Watch it on ESPN.

The Terrapins have taken a tough road to get here. Coming into the tournament unseeded, they had to beat UNC at UNC, then top-ranked Syracuse, and then 5th-seeded Duke. UVA, meanwhile, hosted Bucknell before beating 2nd-seeded Cornell and 6th-seeded Denver. The big catalyst for the Cavaliers' run has been attacker Steele Stanwick, who's simply played out of his mind in the tournament, with 20 points in just three games.

The two teams met earlier in the year, a game that Maryland won. The Terrapin shooters were on fire in that matchup, and that type of performance may be a key in today's matchup, says InsideLacrosse:

In the first meeting, only five Maryland players registered points despite the Terps' putting up 12 goals and nine assists. Additionally, Maryland took 27 shots and Virginia keeper Adam Ghitelman made 11 saves - which means Maryland shooters only missed the cage four times all afternoon.

Virginia's zone defense has garnered a lot of attention for the way it's limited opposing offensive explosions, but its effectiveness against a Maryland team that is less about speed dodging and more about finding the proper spaces for set shots is questionable.

Open thread is here. Go Terps.

Thank God for lax, this has been on of the most boring sports weekends in a looong time. I never really liked UVA and their preppie, tie-wearing, snob-ass fans, but in light of recent events in basketball recruiting, today’s game has extra meaning. Go Terps!!!!

Time for full disclosure

I’ve always thought that the sport itself is pretty cool. Fast paced, physical, tactical… all good. Growing up in MD and spending a lot of time in upstate NY, those are 2 big centers of lacrosse. But I have a hard time getting past how… preppy lacrosse is. Living in Annapolis hasn’t helped to change my bias. It seems to be largely white, privileged private school kids. I’d love to have this preconception shattered.

by NAmstrong on May 30, 2011 4:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Sadly

everyone thinks this. You need to follow some pro lacrosse. Follow some Canadian leagues or the National Lacrosse League. Far different from the field game.
These dumb warrior commercials only help people with your opinion. Single reason why the game has not expanded to its potential.

Thanks for the input

Again, it’s my (and a few of my friends) preconceptions. I love the history of lacrosse. The fact that it’s a native american sport is awesome to me. But my perception of lacrosse being played by snotty rich kids puts it into the category of something belonging to the UVAs and Dooks of the world. However, watching this game is going a long way to changing how I feel about it :)

That's why it was sad to see this happen to the Bratton twins

They wrote a new page in the book of lacrosse. Being incredibly hyped, probably the two best midfielders for their incoming class, and going to UVA. But through all of that, they were black, in this sport that doesn’t see many blacks on the field. GRowing up on Long Island, I had seen them play a few times, and along with me, you had alot of people watching lacrosse tat you wouldn’t normally see there. Sad to see them being dismissed from the team.

Nice shot by Young

But that play was made by Catalino. He’s been the star today, IMO.

we’ll be facing the sun in the fourth

maybe I’m nuts, but I think it’s kiiling us.

I like Turtles!

Doesn't let them out of the "attacking zone"

The white box inside the outer one.

So, essentially nothing.

by Ben Broman on May 30, 2011 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

have to keep it in the box … essentially doesnt do anything if a team can handle the ball.

Finally

Let’s make something happen.

Hey, it's Cottle!

So we’re losing because he’s there, right?

UVA had too many easy goals. The D and goaltending was great in the past few games, but today it was horrible after the first quarter.

by ammizny on May 30, 2011 5:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Idk I feel like we were outcoached

because we definitely have more talent then them today

Still a great year...look forward to watching again next year.

Enjoyed chatting with everyone. Guess that puts a wrap on this year. You all have a great Summer. Football season is next…

by CarolinaTerp on May 30, 2011 5:52 PM EDT reply actions  

Too many turnovers

and missed opportunities early in the game. We’ll be back next year.
