The game was actually pretty even for most of the first half---and home field advantage didn't really make all that much difference( the stevens campus is already out on summer break)--except for the travel part---the 3 hour bus ride and the overnight stay may have affected springfield more than we thought. Stevens played a pretty fast game and then switched to an inverted offense in the 4th which Springfield failed to match up to. I think this game on any other day could have gone either way easily. Both are solid teams with guys who hustle and played their hearts out. Can either beat salisbury state? no( but they could beat anyone else i think)....This was a solid D3 game. The week before Stevens beat OWU in an amazing overtime game--they took 56 shots in that game. They are well coached and disciplined. I think you will have a great lax experience at Springfield and you will get many opportunities to play in the ncaa's. But for let's root for the newcomers in the tourney--4 years ago Stevens was ranked 108th in D3--now they are playing Middlebury--let's hope they play them tough-I think they will. Diversity leads to better play overall nationally.
