“When we lost to Drexel up here – they scored the winner with 15 seconds left – it certainly changed our thought pattern a little bit just because we had one in the loss column,” Mangan said Wednesday during a conference call involving Patriot League coaches. “We probably kind of stopped floating on air a little bit and got back to reality. … It wasn’t that we didn’t play well. We got beat by really good teams. We go into the Patriot League Tournament doing a really good job and then gosh, [midfielder] Steve Serling gets hurt right before halftime, and we lose [attackman] Stefan Bauer in the third quarter. We had to change some things. Our depth wasn’t great, and Navy played better than us in the second half. Those things are going to happen. It’s easy to look and say, ‘Well, we were doing everything right in first half and doing everything wrong in the second half.’ But I don’t think it went that way. I think we beat some good teams and we lost to some good teams. Perhaps we were an 8-5 or an 8-6 team. It just broke a little differently than we probably thought it was going to break. For us, I don’t think it was something we spent a lot of time thinking about. That’s just the way sports is, that’s the way lacrosse is, and we’ve got to focus on the next task at hand.”
