Another thing

One strength of our offense yesterday was our cutting core's ability to go to the disc despite physical defensive pressure. There were many passes to cutters with barely a step or two on a tough Marist defender. In the past, we've had problems with cutters slowing down and getting layout D'd, which has never been good for our collective confidence when playing Marist or other strong teams. Yesterday, our cutters went to the disc hard and were able to pull down some sweet grabs against tough physical plays. This had an added benefit in that oftentimes the Marist defender's layout attempt would allow for a few seconds of unmarked throwing and easy continuation throws.

Going to the disc. It works.
