Please stop, Hofstra is not a depleted team. Stony Brook jumped out early, The Dutch fought back and never gave up. It was 9 - 7 in the 3rd (if I recall correctly)... Hofstra was controlling the draw and had the opportunity to pull within 1. Credit SBU Goalie for making at least 3 critical saves ... (Hofstra goalie also played well) . SBU capitalized in a couple of situations to hold on to the gap. They are both solid teams, SBU has the edge because they expect to win, they have confidence. If Hofstra can develop a little more confidence they can win The CAA. Stony Brook is a good team and the better team today. In my opinion (and I am often wrong) SBU not Too 10 right now. Hofstra had opportunities, which means their game plan was solid. Couldn’t tell you if it was SBU goalie or poor shot placement but either way the top tier teams will not let opportunities slip away. In the end, two very solid teams . Congratulations to Stony Brook. Hofstra should build upon a good effort.

Are you sure you were watching women's lacrosse? Last I checked, they don't play quarters...

Typical response on here... right up there with the spelling and grammar police... slightly above "thanks mom".

Back to the game... Good game, both are decent teams bud certainly not in the top tier. SBU most likely finishes around 13-15, Hofstra has a tougher row to [ChillLaxin] and will have beat some solid teams and possibly win the CAA in order to make the Tournament. Stony Brook will probably not be challenged until the NCAA Tournament. It is unlikely that they will be competitive with any Top 10 Teams.
