The simplest analysis of Old Dominion's 3-0 win against William and Mary was that offense trumped defense.
The Monarchs have demonstrated a propensity for scoring through the first half of the season, while William and Mary has had to rely on stopping opponents because goals have been difficult to come by.
But that doesn't take into account comparative experience, the Monarchs' own defensive abilities and the value of playing with a lead.
