Halftime at Unitas

The Tigers are somehow leading at the half against Hopkins.

The 5-3 lead isn't completely new, though. Towson led 3-2 at halftime against the Terrapins earlier in the season, and they got up big on Hofstra before blowing that lead in the fourth.

The question is, will this 5-3 lead hold? Despite the game having no impact on TU's postseason standing, a  win here would be enormous for this team's confidence, especially when you consider the previous collapses against top-10 teams this year.

So how can they do it? The obvious solution is to keep pressure on. They slowed down on offense against Hofstra, and it cost them. The prevent defense doesn't work any better in lacrosse than it does in football.

On the other hand, it's tough to just say the Tigers can play attack and automatically win. They can't make mistakes, and they can't miss opportunities.

And when you get down to it, Hopkins is just a very very good team. If they heat up and play at their absolute best, they are probably going to win.

It's really anyone's game here at Unitas, with the upstart Tigers leading by two.
