'Cats beat fifth-ranked Penn (No State) 17-13. NU improves to 8-3.
Alvious ... have you attended the games? What do you see? Cats were outscored in the second half and permitted a five goal run by Penn toward the end.
I can't ever tell anything about the team from news coverage, especially on the defensive side. The only thing that stands out to me is that the freshman Izzy Scane is a welcome force. Any reason to suppose that they will ramp up back in the direction of their powerhouse days? Thanks for your posts.
If a team gets a big lead, they often go into a more protective mode with the idea of not giving up easy quick scores. . This often leads to a team giving up a scoring run while preserving a lead. The prevent D of Lacrosse. Maybe that is what happenedAlvious ... have you attended the games? What do you see?

There used to be a terrific poster on Laxpower.com (now defunct) named "Slides" who was an NU fan and really understood the game. Really helped me understand the team and the dynamics. I wish he would post here - or anywhere really - it would be great to get some insightful reporting again.
On BTN right now vs #2 Maryland if anyone's interested. Maryland has never lost a BIG regular season game...
EDIT: Lightning delay now, tied at 12, second half...moving the game indoors apparently.
EDIT: Ugh, was afraid moving indoors would not help us, as we appeared to be handling the weather conditions much better than Maryland. And indeed, they outscored us 5-1 indoors fr a 17-13 victory. Sucks, thought we had a good shot at finally breaking their BIG winning streak...
