Seven of the NCAA’s ten Division 1 conferences decided their conference champion and AQ qualifiers Saturday, joining the ACC and the Patriot League, who decided their champion last Sunday.  The Ivy League Final between Yale and Princeton is today at noon.  Before watching that, here’s what happened yesterday, which might have been more entertaining than that Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight (hopefully you didn’t pay $100): American East Final: Albany crushes…

The second wave of conference tournaments began on Thursday, with the Ivy League tournament beginning later this afternoon.  Many dreams were shattered, while others kept their season alive and will play for a chance to get an AQ into the NCAA Tournament.

The conference tournaments started off with a big bang this weekend, with Colgate defeating Army 11-8 to win the Patriot League Championship, followed seconds later by nearby power Syracuse holding off Duke 15-14 to take the ACC Championship. Both of these teams play Saturday at Colgate at 3:30. The ACC Tournament began Friday with Duke defeating #1 Notre Dame 13-8. The game was scoreless for the entire first quarter, before…

Five games are on tap for Tuesday, with two of those games belonging in the Patriot League.  We’ll get to those later, but here are two games worth focusing on (besides UMass Lowell vs. Dartmouth): Albany vs. Siena: 4 PM The Great Danes had a very important two game stretch last week, edging Bryant and Yale in hopes of gaining a first round NCAA game to be played at Albany….

For many teams, this is the second-to-last week of regular season play before conference tournaments.  The ACC and Patriot League tourneys are next week, but some of these teams plays another game in two weeks after tournament time.  We’ve already got a sneak peak of “April Anarchy” Friday with Patriot League play concluding, but there’s plenty of big games to watch this weekend: Saturday Maryland vs. Ohio State: 11 AM…

We’ve seen a lot of surprises happen this season in college lacrosse, from the emergence of new faces and new teams, to players such as Bryant’s Gunnar Waldt fall almost out of existence.  Here are my All-American selections at this point in the season, which have 4 attackmen, 4 middies, a FOGO, an LSM, 4 defensemen, and a goalie: First Team A Lyle Thompson Senior Albany A Dylan Molloy Sophomore…
