Will actively rotate first offensive set between attack and midfield
Berg said Denver has close to 70-80 plays, if include man-up[20]
There will be main sets, but Denver will change the sets for specific teams
Tierney says Canadian kids on his roster come back from the summer banged up after competing for annual Minto Cup
Brown in a Feb. 2015 article: "If a team doesn't want to slide and is slow to go, then you probably want to play in the middle of the field. You have a better angle to turn the corner and get your hands free. It might be more of a dodge-to-score day than a ball-movement and assisted goal day."[21]

Duke's coaching staff places a priority on ground ball statistics in their post-game reviews.[30] In comparison, Johns Hopkins has found that the four most important post-game statistical considerations are shooting percentage, your opponent’s shooting percentage, your save percentage and your opponent’s save percentage.[31]

Notes
At least three UNC shots hit posts in 1Q
Colgate scored on dump passes inside and on UNC's 44 twice
21 botched a couple GBs near sideline
Big narrative of next season is how Goldstock will do without Bitter and Sankey
Also, will Metz stay?
C scored every time 44 was on field
Why rotate so many people of face off? Kelly example for Cornell
goals with 2nd midfield versus 1st?
12 looked a little gimpy
TO everytime 21 was on field
