He played really well and a GREAT ssdm is a huge asset and a leadership role on many teams. That being said, I still think #10 for BYU was better.

both goalies were suspect early but they played better later on. I actually think the Chapman D looks better than they did last year. Overall they have good handle and throw good checks. They could stay on the hands more in between the slaps and takeaway checks. #10 for BYU was the best pole on the field. #11 was good and helped on f/os… Small was looking pretty good.

BYU needs to pass when they clear the ball. Grow is great and is obviously capable of being a clear machine a la Matt Abbott but that is a waste of his energy. Save him for O, you need him. Let the Houghtons clear the ball. Or BYU could just clear the ball by passing it… I mean they have kids with good sticks so pass the rock to the open man when you're getting covered by 2-3 guys. Also, was #50 for Chaptown seriois with that 20 yard shot in the 4th? you rack disciprine.

Connor Martin got a lot of attention and he moved the ball on a lot to let his teammates carry the load. He also went to the cage when needed. He played well. I liked his looping skip passes. reminded me of mikey powell when he got triple teamed. #13, Fiore, was quiet in the scoresheet but played well and maintained and offensive flow. If Small for Chapman were more confident shooting righty from 10 yards, he could have scored 6 goals but he also held for possessions so I can't really fault him.

The names on the back of the helmets was more showy than I expected from BYU but I like a little flash so good on ya, Cougars!

If Hilton can get a little more consistent, if BYU can win more F/Os and if Grow is allowed to focus on Offense, BYU has a chance. They need to address those areas because the Houghtons and #22 might not be ready to shoulder the offensive load alone.

Chapman just needs to play smarter a little smarter. They play loose, which is great and that's their style but they force some silly passes and there is way too much underhand longstick passing. Way. too. much. That accounted for a couple BYU goals right there. Playing great D, forcing a turnover and then giving up a goal b/c a longstick wants to be flashy is ridiculous. If they keep spreading the ball on O, they should be good to go there.

Overall, both teams looked good but had definite holes. Both will need to improve to get to a NC. Duh.
