It was good for the Ducks to get back home after their dismal performance in Missouri. It didn’t start out well against St Marys, but after falling behind, the Ducks pulled it together and should have ended up with the win.
The Gaels are talented & experienced. The Ducks match up with them in the former, but the discrepancy in the latter, signaled the defeat. Even with the two most experienced players out with injuries, the Ducks got a lot of players in the game. Armstead, Longmire, Crittle & Williams in particular, had moments of very good play. But, the constant substituting worked against developing any cohesion. The Ducks have four more home games before conference play begins; hopefully that time will be spent on setting a rotation.
