Impressive victory for SJC!

Bullis over Landon today.

I have never seen a team not able to clear as bad as Landon. Turnovers left and right in between the lines.

Both goalies played out of their minds today.

I fully expect Landon and Bullis to meet again in the IAC semis.

Prep should be able to sweep Saint Stephens this week - even if GP were to somehow split the series, GP has already locked up the #1 seed in the playoffs.

If SSSA beats Prep 2x then SSSA will be the number 1 seed. Bullis 2, Prep 3. Landon 4 STA/EHS 5/6

SJC was impressive today in all aspects of the game.

SJC had a tad bit of an issue at the face off X...other than that.....they dominated.

The IAC seedings are going to be wild based on the final week of regular season play.

Landon and Bullis split as I thought, if these teams meet again in the playoffs, its a 50:50 coin toss on who wins. Based on two games I have now watched, both teams appear to be even. I don't know if either team has the depth and athleticism to compete with GP this year, they are dangerous at all positions in the field.

It will be interesting to see how the Saints do against GP this week, my guess is maybe one of the games is close but I see GP in the end winning both contests by a good margin. Lil Hoyas need to win just one game this week vs the Saints and they will lock up the #1 seed and home field advantage in the IAC tournament.

PS: really impressed by the SJC victory over PVI... I would have thought the game would have been closer based on PVI's performance against GZ (PVI dominated GZ in the 2nd half). Is SJC now in a league of their own in the WCAC? When do they Gonzaga and where will the game be played?

Agree on most points. But not sure Landon has what it takes this year. Never seen one of their teams make so many errors and be so bad at clearing. This is one of its worst teams in a long time. Is this a coaching issue?

Bullis baffles me. Should be much more dominant, but there's something with their chemistry that is off. That is why Prep should win it all. The only thing that could get in their way is their own coaching, but this team seems to have good chemistry, plays relaxed and the coaches are letting them play. They lost early to Bullis but it appears that was due to the Bullis goalie playing out of his mind (as he often does). Not sure how Prep blew the lead to Landon and almost lost in their second game, but don't see that happening again. SSSA is a mystery as it often seems to be.

And yes SJC looks legit, while PVI boosters may have been premature. Would love to see them play more and figure out what's real in this crazy Covid season.

Interesting. I thought SJC did much better than expected at x.

Bordley should come out of retirement and coach for the final 2 weeks of the season. I disagree , I think this is one of the better Landon teams since 2018. Landon head coach doesn't know what he is doing. Its laughable how poorly this team clears and the turnovers they continue to make.

Bullis is a borderline a club team. A bunch of touted Ty Xander stars who don't play particularly well together and lacks serious depth. If it weren't for their goalie, the Bulldogs lose both games to Landon. Bullis goalie is one of the best in the country as well as their defense.

GP will cruise through the IAC tournament and should win their first outright title in several years. Too much depth and very athletic, not to mention an excellent FOGO.

I think the Landon goalie outplayed the Bullis goalie over both games. More saves on what should have been goals by far over the 2 games. Bullis defense and ride were exceptional to offset Landon domination at face off. Will be an entertaining rubber match in playoffs.

The whole league is determined by the Prep fogo. He is the best fogo in 22 class and dominates the league. He gives Prep so many chances on offense that it is almost impossible for the Prep coaches to screw it up. Credit to Prep, they needed a fogo and went out and recruited one....the best one. And that will be the difference maker in the end. Take him away, Landon, Prep, SSSA and Bullis are essentially even (w each team having certain strengths and weaknesses).

Best Fogo in both the 21’ and 22’ class come from Virginia. Marylanders can’t be happy with that.

SJC appeared to pole the PVI face off mid a few times. Not sure if that was to rest the SJC face off mid or if they felt it was the better strategy. It was not any type of game breaking issue. SJC was better in all facets of the game. PVI is not a bad team but they just don't appear to have the players to match SJC. Not much depth right now.
