While we had a great season we had some close ones. NC and Cuse could have easily been losses. Could have been worse. Flip side - both Denver games could have been wins. Could have been better.

Hard to think our offense will get worse. Same for D & GT. If we improve at faceoffs, again, I like our chances.

Faceoffs are an area I'd like to see improve significantly

On the season ND was .500 on FOs.

In the games we lost:

Denver (NCAAs) - 9/24
Duke (ACC tourn.) - 7/24
Denver (reg. season) - 7/23

Even the close games we eeked out:

Syracuse - 11/29
North Carolina - 15/33

If we had been even 50/50 in those games, I think you'd have seen a very dominant ND team.

I don't know if Henry Williams can apply to come back or not, but the defensive midfield could have a new look. Byrne's system will probably take care of that though, especially with the entire back line returning.

One area I was pleased with most this season was D.

The way we rode players, our active sticks, hopefully that was all good coaching and technique and therefore coachable. Hope to see tons more of same next season.
ND's ride is an awesome sight to behold. Wish more teams

Wish that had been intentional. I'm losing my touch.
