Nice 3-1 comeback win today on Senior Day. Two more from Dodson, Jack Beer opened his account and Achara returns to the lineup.
Get Schropp backnhealthy and we are well suited for deep runs in the postseason.

Perhaps the worm is turning...

Nice haul of awards for the Hoyas with Dodson the rookie of the year, joined by Montes and O’Hearn on the all rookie team.
Lema and McDonough first team all Big East. Marcinkowski(who got jobbed) joins Dodson and McCabe in the second team.
JT will simply have to win BET and College Cup MVP.

Marcinkowski(who got jobbed) joins Dodson and McCabe in the second team. JT will simply have to win BET and College Cup MVP. Yeah, I mean, Butler's goalie was ahead of JT in more of the statistical categories, but I don't think there's a single coach in the Big East - Butler's Snape included - who actually thinks Eric Dick is a better keeper than JT. Whatever. I know JT cares more about the team performance than individual accolades - that's one of the reasons he is a tremendous leader on and off the field. In truth, this is a pretty 'blue-collar' team (I normally hate that adjective as applied to sports, since it's often used as a synonym for "white," but that doesn't really apply in this case) by recent Hoyas standards. Not a lot of sure-fire MLS top draft picks and gaudy numbers, JT excepted. In a lot of ways, that makes the 2nd place finish even more impressive - a true team effort. On an individual basis, though, I'm probably happiest for Brendan getting league recognition. He was picked to be a team captain as a junior - that kind of thing doesn't just happen by accident, even on a team with only a handful of seniors. Despite being a goal-scoring machine in HS, he's made the adjustment to playing in the back beautifully. Gut gemacht, Brendan!

3 guys on the all-rookie squad means we keep rolling the next few years.

Boys host St John’s on Wednesday at 1 pm.
Full strength hopefully. Payback time.
Team is well situated for a nice run.

GU missed a chippie after some really nice play before, then had another poked away right in front of goal. Johnnies just had their best chance , but just wide. Hoyas 1-0 with 23 mins left in first half

At full strength, this team is as good as any in the country.
Achara is the X factor.

Don't see them winning this 1-0. Need another for sure. Getting a bit nervy.

30 minutes is a long time to protect a skinny lead.
Maybe we catch them on a counter.
