While I agree withe points of concern, Shane Doss...

...committed to Notre Dame after his sophomore year at Glen Ridge High School in NJ, which was highly publicized in this neck of the state. While I don't have specific information about his recruitment ($$$ offered), I highly doubt he was a preferred walk on. Plus, full-ride or not, he was voted the ACC goalie of the year. He had a bad day no doubt, but he was not helped by his defense.

As for our face-off guys, we got scorched...absolutely. Getting an ace FOGO guy seems imperative in this day (unfortunately in my opinion), but we need to get better there. Thought things were a bit better once we picked the long-sticks out there. Question there is: same thing happened in the regular season. It was deja vu all over again. Why wait so long to go to plan B?
