To be fair, we all get sick of Landon being a top dog. But they played a better team (Prep) to OT twice including a 6-goal comeback today when they couldn't win any faceoffs. That seems like pretty solid coaching. The IAC results are all over the place this year, and the semis were both great games. Hopefully the WCAC matches. Friday Games: Prep -5.5 vs St. Albans PVI -3.5 vs. Gonzaga (assuming Gonzaga won) Good Counsel +1.5 vs. SJC |

Best player on the field was Preps FOGO heading to Army next spring.He was the clear difference maker in today’s game.

| For WCAC boys lacrosse, if PVI goes down he championship is his year which team would they prefer to play in that game? Either good counsel or St. John’s college Prep |
| As I said, Bullis has two A players (who are absolute studs) and a bunch of B players. B players got exposed tonight. D3 attack probably had 10 turnovers tonight and Bullis fogo was probably 20%, and goalie couldnt see the ball as just a few examples. |
This is a pretty sad take. Bullis and STA played two close games in the past week. Both games fun to watch, and good lacrosse. Maybe they matched up well, maybe STA is inconsistent. But comparative scores only get you so far. That’s why they play the games. Anyone who doesn’t like both IAC semifinal playoff games going into 2OT kind of needs another hobby. |

For all those posting - “well they barely beat them” or “they lost to them, so” - you haven’t really played. And the “oh they have so many D1 commits” crew. Get a grip.

As I said… relax dad. |

Congrats to STA. They are playing winning lacrosse. But WTH was up with the ref’s call in OT when he said the STA player was closer to the end line than the Bullis player on the wide shot? He was looking right at the Bullis player basically standing on the end line when he blew his whistle.
Could have been a different game had Bullis retained possession there. It was a bizarre call. Good luck to STA they are a tough team who scrapped for 48 minutes in both games vs Bullis. |
| For anyone from Bullis to complain about the officiating is pure comedy |

Some teams peak , teams get hot at the right time and some teams finally figure it out towards the end of the season… and then of course there are team that just stink.
Look at the collegiate game for example, take UVA… one point in mid March they had back to back to back losses to Richmond, Towson and Maryland.UVA is on fire right now and I can guarantee you no team in the ncaa tournament wants to play them. Just because you beat a team by 3 - 5 goals the first time doesn’t equate you are going to beat them again - it’s why we have the playoffs and what makes sports great! |
That was a head-scratcher, along with an STA shot toward the end of the game that was called a pass. Both sets of fans wanted calls on some brutal hits too. Refs seemed to be in their own world. Both games between these two teams were among the most physical all season in the IAC. Bullis attack #27 and Albans FO who scored the game-winner were lights out. The teams played hard. |
| Does anyone who was there feel like recapping the Bullis game?? |
We shall see. Should be great atmosphere and game. |
STA FO had to be over 90%. FOGO had a game. Bullis offense, specifically attack had maybe 8ish head scratching unforced turnovers. This was the game changer. STA defense played well, goalie looked like he believed the whole time. Bullis pulled off a pretty epic hidden ball trick goal. Most STA goals came in transition or just unsettled. On 1v1 matchups they maybe scored 2-3? Capitalized on opportunities big time. STA likes to run the offensive from up top and they didn’t find much success against the Bullis ssdms or lsm. Most settled goals came from low feeds. It was very gritty and there were a lot of hugely contested ground balls. Time of possession was in STA’s favor maybe by 2x. Bullis played a lot of defense. They’d clear the ball and offense would turn it over. Agree with the other posters about head scratching calls both ways. They definitely let them play, but those two plays specifically were completely blown calls. Equaled out though. |
