15-6 against Princeton, who had a huge roster and probably spread their PT around. Got broken to start, then got our heads in it and started gaining a lead with breaks here and there. Ordinary game, considering we were playing a Sectional rival.
15-5 against Johns Hopkins, who was missing their "best player" according to scouting reports.
15-6 against Hofstra, mostly because of their 7' kid.
Chipotle and a birthday party.
14-10 against Franklin and Marshall, some questionable calls and animosity. A closer game than it should have been.
15-10 against Johns Hopkins, "best player" was back but we were able to control the game with some big blocks by Bruce.
9-15 against Millersville. We scored on D, they scored and then broke us 6 times in a row. Easily the worst I've ever seen Machine play in terms of mental focus and execution--poor throwing choices and drops from pretty much everybody. Big problems in the red zone. We crawled back with more huge defense from Bruce, I threw 4 goals in 5 points to get us back in the middle of the game, but overall there were too many miscues to overcome. They were a small team of big dudes, most of them slow but they were really good at using what they had. A couple really good throwers and they just made all the plays while we consistently gave them the disc. Very frustrating.
Overall the tournament was fun and I saw us flow on offense very well at times, working within the ho-stack cleanly and efficiently. Our defense needs a lot of work and we need to clean up those unforced errors, and our lines were pretty lopsided (O couldn't play D, D couldn't play O) but I see great potential. Lots of work to do, but I think we had a good tournament for it being so early in the year.
