La Salle is fast and athletic with some very incisive attacking players (I thought #4 Kahney and #11 Schraffenberger in particular stood out) and a solid defense (#5 Bell had great touch at CB). The Sabres are No. 3 in the Cincinnati D1 Coaches Poll (behind Mason and Anderson) and by Maher Rating would be KY#5. Highlands looked flat/was made to look flat by La Salle. Several strong individual efforts by Highlands went unrewarded... Solomon Farris got behind the La Salle defense several times but the La Salle GK came out strong. Overall though, hard to argue that 3-0 was not a fair result. Good wake-up call for the Birds as they come off a run of less demanding games... maybe just what the doctor ordered. We'll see next week.

Lasalle is very good. Scored 5 in the first half against Brossart earlier this year en route to a 5-1 victory. Not a lot of weaknesses. Lasalle faces Elder next Tuesday which is an always interesting matchup.
