Tillman sees room for improvement for men's lacrosse
There are a handful of scores from the early start of the season that mean very little to me: Navy's drubbing of VMI, Syracuse's butchering of Siena (although this may look like a decent win at the end of the season given Siena's projected position in the MAAC), Penn State's shellacking of Michigan, and Maryland destroying Mount St. Mary's. These are all signs that the victors are capable of melting faces this season, but those results are all against notably inferior competition. The Terps have their season moving in the right direction, but Maryland started 2013 like this -- a 23-6 beat down of the Mountaineers -- and saw their season go sideways.
There is tons of lacrosse to play. It's only the second full week of February. The Terrapins need to improve if they intend to survive the ACC this year, and John Tillman seems to understand that:
But coach John Tillman was far from satisfied. And when the Terps finally found refuge from the freezing temperatures in the locker room, Tillman spent no time praising their impressive nine-goal advantage.
Instead, he demanded improvement.
“We talked about that candidly at halftime,” Tillman said. “We need to play better.”
The Terps surrendered just one goal in the final two quarters, cruising to a 16-3 victory over the Mountaineers behind four goals and two assists from attackman Matt Rambo in his college debut. Still, Tillman saw a variety of fundamental areas his team needs to work on in practice this week.
