So, if Marist had student Draw Specialist and Goalie they wouldl beat Maryland? If New Hampshire had a student Draw Specialist and Goalie they would beat Northwestern? If Siena had a student Draw Specialist and Goalie they would beat Syracuse? If Cornell had a student Draw Specialist and Goalie they would beat Carolina? If Boston University had a student Draw Specialist and Goalie they would beat Boston College? If Vermont had a student Draw Specialist and Goalie they would beat Virginia? If St. Bonaventure had a student Draw Specialist and Goalie they would beat Stony Brook? C'mon man... it's a team sport i.e. "all of the players and coaches".

As another post pointed out "All Positions on the field are important".

It's a team game and you will not beat the most competitive teams if you are deficient in any area. The most successful teams are usually built from back to front (Goalie, Defense, Midfield "including Draw and circle play" Attack). The teams that play the best "team defense including the goalie play" usually come out on top when all is said and done.
