[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone give a recap on the Yorktown-broadneck game? Genuinely so shocked they won[/quote]

Broadneck appeared to have their strength at midfield and preferred dodging/shooting from the top.  The Yorktown goalie made some great saves, which seemed to irritate them and launch even more low percentage shots.  [/quote]

Have said it before and will say it again:  I have seen too many of these teams/ players looking to shoot a 15 yard sidearm/ underhand shot on a single level and expect to score all the time. Watched more than a few “ great” teams lose because they are relying on low percentage shots and offense.

If you look at the PLL metrics site they had a 15yd 2 point line and moved it to 13yd. The numbers: 
15yd is 14.7%
13yd is 18.9%

All things equal we are not talking about pro goalies, however, we are not talking about pro shooters either.

While you can get away with hitting longer shots against lesser opponents in high school but when you play a quality opponent 1 in 5 will not lead to wins against good teams.

Players need to learn and coaches need to work the ball inside. All flash and no substance will lose you games.
