Rams Roll Past UNH, Stays Perfect
press release
LOVELAND, Colo. — The Rams lacrosse team faced a
challenging game against New Hampshire this Sunday, but they kept
the lead throughout the game to win 14-6.
“UNH is a nice team and they definitely made us work for it,"
said CSU head coach Alex Smith. "They had two comeback wins
before our game and even after we got up at halftime, I knew they
weren’t going to roll over for us."
While the Rams maintained a solid lead throughout the game, they
lost some control over the game after half time.
“UNH played well in the third quarter and we just
weren’t putting shots away. I didn’t like seeing
us lose control of the game in the third and that will be a focus
for us,” said Smith.
The Rams regained control for the final quarter, by minimizing New
Hampshire’s possessions and scoring four more points. This
game was good preparation for upcoming games. The Rams will face
equally skilled competition later this week when they travel to
Arizona to play Arizona State, University of Arizona and Chico
State.
“Our game on Saturday against Arizona State will definitely
be our most challenging yet,” said Smith. "Arizona State has
an excellent offense and is very good with transitions. The Rams
will have to stay sharp to remain competitive.
"At the same time, I love the way this team has been getting better
and we are getting some great production from a lot of different
people. All we can do is throw our best game out there and
see what happens. I like our chances if we don’t turn
the ball over and keep them from running on us.”
