Back to lacrosse, how can NL be having trouble scoring with all the talent they have at attack and mid, and no, I am not being sarcastic, they are in fact a good team and that's a sincere question.
NL hasn’t beaten a top 20 team since last spring. Literally.

How did NL beat MadLax (a top 10 team) twice in HoCo but not beat a top 20 team since then - can somebody explain that?
Sure. NL has a FOGO that went something like 27 of 31 in the HOCo game against Madlax’s LSM and hodge podge of FOGO’s. And in the regular season he went something like 11 for 13. The FOGO has single handedly dominated the possession for NL against Madlax.

Not sure it’s the silver bullet, but if Madlax’s new FOGO can win 40%, Madlax will win by 7-8 in this matchup. As they did last fall when the 2 teams played, Madlax won 8-2 or something like that.
Agree that face offs were a huge reason why an overall lesser team beat a stronger team. And, at least in the regular season game, coaching was a factor. The MadLax coach was screaming at the refs and his own kids in a way that I have never seen in a youth game in any sport; you could see the ML players tense and afraid to make mistakes.
The Madlax coach costs those kids game after game after game with his hysteria, complete lack of composure, and over-reliance on a couple of players. My kid is friendly with a bunch of those kids, they’re growing tired of it. And they’re a REALLY good team, prob one of the top 2-3 in the nation. Their coach just can’t get out of their way.
