This weekend is the Crown Event in North Carolina. We will play Cornell tonight and Jacksonville on Sunday.
The biggest change between our first three games and the last two is Knesse's save percentage has dropped substantially (down from ~82% to ~60%). This is, in part, due to the last few opponents (Yale and UPenn) dominating the faceoff X and controlling offensive possessions which yield more shots against/teams not rushing through possessions (which also happens to our offense when Arceri struggles).
That hopefully changes tonight since Cornell has only won 37% of their faceoffs. Comparatively, Yale's FOGO has won 74% of his faceoff's and Penn's is winning 55%.
Additionally, Cornell has not been sharp between the pipes, only a 42% save percentage. If we can win at the X we should be looking at more of a Villanova performance beating Big Red by a good margin. Moreover, each of Cornell's wins have not been against juggernauts of opponents - Albany is down this year.
Will be a great game and I will be updating throughout the contest.
