The top seeded Notre Dame began their NCAA tournament by facing a Towson team who had to beat High Point earlier in the week just to make it to the first round. Notre Dame would wind up walking away with the 12-10 win, but it did not come easily. The first quarter in no way went to the expected script, although it started like it might. Notre Dame quickly…
Yale was one of the few teams all year to say they could top Maryland. As luck would have it, they met again today for the first round of the NCAA tournament. This time though, the Terps defense would prove to be too much for the Bulldogs, and the Ivy champs are headed back home early. The first quarter was about as fast as most expected. Neither of these…
With Marist winning their play-in game over Bryant to start the NCAA tournament, Syracuse now knows who to plan on hosting this Sunday. Marist played well in their 10-6 victory to improve their overall record to 14-3, but they will need to play significantly better if they want to upset the Orange in the Dome. The key to Marist’s victory was jumping out to a 5-2 lead in the…
The NCAA tournament is now upon us. To join in the fun, the In Lacrosse We Trust staff has submitted their picks for who they think will (or want to) win the tournament. Here’s the breakdown: Writer Runner Up Champion Score Ryan Conwell 14-12 Chris Jastrzembski 15-14 Chris Vale 10-8 Paul Schwedelson 13-11 Jason Myers 12-11 James Simmons 14-12 Jeff Werner 10-7 Ian Neadle 16-15 Brendan Staudt 17-15…
When this bracket was first being announced, I thought the biggest shocker would be that Notre Dame was given the top seed instead of Syracuse. As the seedings and matchups rolled in, this debate faded quickly. The biggest theme to this bracket is simply the number of first round rematches, potential second round rematches, and potential 2014 tournament rematches. But first off, the seeded teams: Notre Dame (10-2) Syracuse…
In an interesting turn of events, two NCAA tournament teams will be facing off a week before the round of 16 begins. Syracuse is coming off an ACC tournament championship while Colgate just won the Patriot League. Those two wins lock up the first two automatic qualifiers available while the rest of the country plays this weekend to figure things out. What this means is that you are going to…
If you didn’t make time to watch any NCAA lacrosse this past weekend, you need to sit down and figure out how you are going to change that in the next few weeks. The ACC and Patriot champs have been determined and next weekend will see everyone else fight it out. There was a ton of churn on the top six teams as all but two lost a game. By…
The ACC seedlings are officially set while most other conferences still need a few more games to take shape. The Patriot League also locked up their seeding, with Navy, Colgate, Bucknell, Loyola, Army, and Lehigh all getting some extra games. If it is anything like last year or any of the games during the season, get in front of a TV on Friday. While most other conferences have a clear…
On April 6, the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) and Onondaga Nation officially announced the dates and venues for the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships (WILC) later this fall. While it has been known for about two and a half years that the Onondagas were hosting, there was some turmoil regarding where to play the final games. Originally, all the games were going to be played at the Onondaga Nation Arena,…
The regular season games are starting to wrap up (already?!?) and conference tournaments are starting to take shape. The ACC tournament is almost completely known while the Ivy and Patriot leagues are still very hazy. The ACC will see Notre Dame and North Carolina fighting this week for the chance to play Duke. The loser gets Syracuse. Syracuse will play one the only two teams they lost to while…
