[quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen Oakton play several times this season. One was the Woodson game where it was hard to tell if Oakton was good that evening or if Woodson just played a really poor game. Both turned the ball over a lot. And neither offenses were impressive.

Madison proved if you have a quick defender with good footwork, face guarding #11 can work. Deny her the ball and make others beat you. If they do tip your cap to them. But Oakton does not have a lot of offensive weapons outside of #11. #4 may be their next best option but she has struggled to catch the ball in games I have seen and she does not go left much.

Woodson chose not to face guard #11. If a team selects this option the defense will need to slide quickly. She will most likely play from the top and 1) look to make a longer feed into the middle for #4 or maybe #21. 2) make a quick pass for a give and go back to her in the middle of the 8. Or 3) will try to dodge 1v1 going mostly to her right. If the slide is late she will try to take the ball to goal and shoot. She will also try to pull a slide over to get a shooting space call. She tends to duck into defenders so charging is something coaches will want to make the refs aware of.

If the ball goes down to GLE to a low attacker on the right side of the goal look for #11 to cut right from the top off a pick for a feed. Defenders will need to keep their sticks up in the passing lanes and be stick on stick and goal side on #11. I don’t recall Oakton’s low attackers being a threat to go to goal, but it’s possible if they are overplayed.

There is not much to the Oakton offense. Contain #11, disrupt their slow deliberate offense, and let others on the team beat you. Again, if they do tip your cap to them.[/quote]
