Didn’t they just struggle with Rutgers last weekend, 14-13? 15-14?

Anyway, a nice victory today!

Assbeating .... Given how close last game was with Rutgers expected this to be a bit tighter

Like Ned said, they're kids and emotions play a big part in the game. They had nothing to play for last week and it showed. I suspect MD puts it on Hop this evening, as well.

I’m hoping for Johnny Hopkins to pull it out. Now 7-6 late in 3rd after being down 6-2.

Eh, they are kids and this is Lacrosse. Anything can happen in the top 10.

Tamb needs to get the starters out. It’s getting goofy now at 17-4. Looks like a HS game at this point.

We ran a different defensive look today vs last week.

Maryland really took a nose dive at the end of the year.

We hired a better coach. He started bringing in better players.

For starters right here...

Prior to Penn State, Tambroni spent 10 seasons as head coach at Cornell (2001-10). He guided the Big Red to a 109-40 record and three NCAA Semifinal appearances (2007, 2009-10), including the 2009 National Championship game.

Tambroni was named USILA Division I Coach of the Year following the 2009 season and was tabbed the 2007 and 2009 Field Turf/NCAA Division I Coach of the Year. Tambroni was also the 2004 and 2009 Ithaca Journal Male Coach of the Year and a three-time National Coach of the Week.

While at Cornell, Tambroni became the 10th-fastest coach to reach the 100-win mark when he accomplished the feat in his 134th career game in March 2010.

During his tenure, his players earned 37 first-team All-Ivy honors, including five Ivy League awards, and three conference Rookie of the Year selections. In addition, 39 players garnered All-America recognition.

To piggyback off of the other Tambroni post, the biggest thing he did while here was adding the Alumni Mentorship program which he then used to help raise some funds for the new Panzer Stadium. The alumni before really weren't a part of the program and that helped them become more invested in the players and the program's success.

Overall, he is better at running a lacrosse program than our past coaches.
