Hofstra Men's Lax
Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
I looked at the list of 30 or so players Newsday mentions. Of these, 20 are going to:
-- Top MLAX programs: Duke, JHU, Loyola, MD, ND, UNC (total of 9)
-- The Ivies or Michigan (total of 7)
-- Service academies (total of 4)
That leaves 7 who are going somewhere else, including Hofstra.
Which of the 20 would have chosen Hofstra over Duke, Yale, Army, Navy, etc.?
For those who can wait a year, another exciting Justin will be coming to Hofstra: Justin Sykes, one of the youngest Canadian box lacrosse players to compete in the 2018 Minto Cup championship series. If anything, we should target more Canadian players. We've had some good ones in the past.

Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
the thread has gotten quite since they won, I guess that does not fit the narrative of some posters who seem to be rooting against a coach rather then for the players and the team.
Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Actually you might want to look at the other lax thread on the UMASS game.
Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Back to this thread ....
Congrats to Ryan Tierney on being named to the USILA D1 "team of the week." Ryan had a career-high six goals vs. UMass. He was so good, USILA even featured his picture on their news release:

Seriously, a nice way to cap a good week for the Dutch.
On to Delaware, a high-scoring team.

Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
LOL oh please Dutchflid, take that drama elsewhere - that you Seth? Ryan? Mrs T? Nice whopping 2nd post. You busted everyone! All here because we want the programs to stink. Foolishness
. Doubt you're even around here long enough to read this.
You want more fire in the lax thread then maybe YOU should post more. This thread has been dead for years because the interest in the flailing program is at an all time low. Don't worry about this board of diehards, go check the stands and take your complaints there...and to the sidelines where it's rooted.
To the actual fans: nice big W against UMass - the bad L's and a W like that is pretty typical of a very young team. I have zero expectations for them this season, just not going to be a strong year, so very nice to see them show out a bit against a very good squad.

Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Another stinking one goal loss to Drexel and another 4th Quarter meltdown. DU 13 - HU 12. HU had a 3 goal lead starting the 4th. Lots and lots of misques by the Dutch. Tierney's one goal losses have to be near 50 or so at this point. Last I looked he had about a .375 percentage in one goal games.
Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Knowing Hofstra, we will prolly extend Tierney this week another year or 2.

Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Yesterday's loss eliminates us from CAA contention so for first time since 1995 Hofstra will have a regular season finale with nothing on the line (every year since we have been alive for at-large or CAA tourney berth). Very, very frustrating, but we lost 18 players from last year and were close in every CAA game except Delaware so hopefully next year with many returners back will be different story.
Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Shows you how far the program has sunk when making the conference tournament is not even achievable.
Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
If anyone noticed men's lax beat Fairfield last night 11 - 9 to finish 5 - 9. I really hope this program turns around next year.

Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Very frustrating to have nothing to lay for in this final game, but glad we came out on top to go into the off-season on a positive note. This was first time we ended year with a win since 2002 when we defeated UNC and then four days later were snubbed of an NCAA tourney bid. Last time we finished season with a win knowing that was final game you'd have to go back to 1990 when we beat Princeton to finish year 9-5 (we actually finished ranked 19th but was only 12-time NCAA tourney field then).Mikey77 wrote:If anyone noticed men's lax beat Fairfield last night 11 - 9 to finish 5 - 9.

Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Newsday had an article this week about one of our incoming freshmen. Headline reads, "Sam Lutfi continues hot streak, powers Massapequa past Syosset."
https://www.newsday.com/sports/high-sch ... 1.30527840
Lutfi has scored 30 goals this season, including 20 in his last five games on a Massapequa squad loaded with D1 talent.

Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Stony Brook head coach Jim Nagle was let go today. Is recently fired Navy coach Sowell in line to return to Stony Brook?
Re: Hofstra Men's Lax
Lots of turnover in the coaching ranks. If Hofstra has another down year next year I suspect Tierney's days might be numbered as well, although Hofstra has a much longer rope than most schools with coaches.
