Give them credit, they got really aggressive on D and caused a ton of turnovers. Navy had a tough time stopping the Florida offense from getting quality shots. The navy goalie had a good day with 14 saves. Everyone gets on O'Leary but she made some adjustments down the stretch that made a difference . Called on the freshman when the pireccas were getting locked off and she got it done. Florida is a huge wild card this year.

Not to mention Florida was without 2 preseason all Americans.


Boston College beat them handily without one of the best in the country. Out drew them too, what does that say about the Gators?


You obviously did not watch the BC/Navy game. It was anyone's game with 5 minutes left. BC scored some late meaningless goals. I am not sure what that says about the gators. What does it say about Virginia that Florida beat up UNC and Virgina lost to them by 4. Wait, but Cuse beat Florida and lost to Virginia hmmm. UNC lost to Florida and beat MD.. see where I am going here? I will say I watched Florida against these top teams and the have been dominant in long stretches when all things being equal. We will see if they can put it together down the stretch. [/quote]

O'Leary can't get it done until she prove otherwise[/quote]



StonyBrook will not win because they are weak at the draw. They have a very good attack, besides that they are average, and will be exposed when they verse at team that is solid at all positions.[/quote]

I "cut and paste" below and corrected the 2017 record...

-( Will history replete itself? Will Stony Brook once again bring a gaudy record into the tournament only to be knocked out before the Final Four?

2014: 16-3 going in. Lost to Syracuse in round of 16.

2015: 18-1 going in. Lost to Princeton in round of 16.

2016: 15-3 going in. Lost to Syracuse in round of 16.

2017: 18-1 going in. Lost to Maryland in round of 8.

2018: ??? )-

Stony Brook is a very good team. Their midfield is stronger than you give credit. I think their biggest weakness is their strength of schedule. They could go into the tournament with a perfect record but not played a team ranked in the top 10 at the end of the season. They should be well rested but they will not be battle tested. I think the NCAA will do their best to give Stony Brook the easiest path to the Final Four but there are a lot of teams who can surprise this year.
