We jumped out on top of Davidson 5-2 in the first quarter and led 8-7 at half. The score was tied 9-9 at the end of 3. Early in the 4th quarter we were called for an illegal stick and Davidson capitalized on it providing the final margin of 12-9.

Only 14 guys made the App. State game. We led 6-5 at half but had a slashing call at the end of the half so we started the third quarter a man down. App. State scored a goal to tie the score. A few minutes later we scored a goal and then got called for an illegal stick so instead of going up 7-6 the score was still tied and we were a man down for 3 minutes. App. State scored 2 during the penalty and it seemd to deflate the team. We were down 15-8 with about 8 minutes left when we started to come back. Our face-off man was winning every face-off and we scored 3 unanswered goals. We just ran out of time.

I was proud of the way our guys didn't quit and fought back. They could have packed it in at 15-8. This weekend one of our freshman attack man Bill Taggart, from Princeton, NJ and Ryan Eglseder, a midfielder from Maryland, had breakout games. Bill had two goals against Davidson and added anotehr against App. State. Egy had two goals yesterday against App. State. Our goalie, Justin Kilian, a freshman, had 30 saves against Davidson and another 23 against App. State. The team has been led all year by freshman attackman Adam Ungaro, who has 16 goals and 15 assists.

Tom:

Keep buidling on the success stories of your underclassmen. Their time will come with experience. You play in a tough Conference in the SELC and the fact that you had such a small squad and played that well in the Mountains at App. State is simply amazing. You have a lot to be proud of. App. State is always a bear to play on the road for any team.

UNM was at Wyoming this weekend and we played at 7000 feet above sea level and it took it's toll on our 12 man roster that made that trip. Wyoming is a much improved Team and it is only a matter of time when they will be right up there in Division A with Colorado State, BYU, Colorado and Utah in the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference.

Congrats Tom on getting the program going in the right direction. Hang in there!
