Here’s a scary stat: 84% of the regular season has been complete. 16% of the regular season remains. Some teams still have a game, or two, or maybe three left. But many teams also have their respective conference tournaments to participate in as well. They’ll get started next week with the Patriot and ACC tourneys happening, with the other conference tournaments occurring in two weeks. This year’s field for at-large…

College Lacrosse Weekend Preview: All Chaos Conference?

April 15, 2016

With so much drama in the ACC, it’s kinda hard getting into the NCAA Tournament scene. But they, somehow, some way, keep coming up with interesting storylines every single day. I’m no Snoop Dogg, but if you use your imagination and tinker the first four lines of Gin And Juice with ACC references, it’s actually a pretty good summary of the conference’s season. Except Notre Dame, who’s sitting comfortably as…

NCAA Bracketology V1: There’s Still Time

April 12, 2016

Is it too early to start predicting brackets? Some may say yes, others the opposite. Joe Lunardi already has a way too early 2017 NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracketology, and we just got done the hoops tournament last week! Teams don’t know if they’ll lose someone to either the NBA Draft or to transfers or even who they might gain via transfers and commitments. But in lacrosse, we have less than…

We’re starting the final stretch of the season with under a month until Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament. Unlike last year, it’s a very wide open field, with only two ACC teams in the top 15 in RPI. Some early Bracketology projections have Notre Dame and Syracuse in, with some even including Virginia. Except for Notre Dame, the ACC is on the bubble for some spots, with UNC and…

Drexel faces Fairfield, while Towson travels to face UMass in CAA action this weekend. This past weekend the Drexel Dragons (4-6) traveled about 100 miles south to face the #10 ranked Towson Tigers (9-1).  Unfortunately for the Dragons they fell 11-7. For the first three quarters the Dragons looked as if they would pull off the upset of their season. But a six goal run by the Tigers was the…

The Fairfield Stags continue to break the hearts of Seth Tierney and his Hofstra Pride men’s lacrosse team as they defeated the Pride 9-8 in the CAA opener. Hofstra fans can recall last year where it came down to the final game in the regular season to determine if Hofstra would make the CAA tournament or not. Fairfield crushed any hopes of Hofstra making it to the tournament with a…

NCAA Midseason Top Five MLL Prospects

April 4, 2016

We are just over halfway through the 2016 campaign so it seems appropriate to check in on some of the 2017 MLL draft prospects. Specifically, I want to look at this years draft-eligible midfield group. Last season, I don’t think it was much of a question that Duke midfielder, Myles Jones, was the best midfielder and would be drafted #1 overall. Is Sergio Perkovic that guy this year? It is still…

Alright, so some conferences have already started their conference schedule. But this weekend, nearly every team that’s playing will have a conference game, including the CAA, which opens up conference play on Saturday. For some teams, it’s a chance to get that top seed in their respective conference tournaments en route to a possible automatic bid. For other teams, the road to the postseason begins now. One loss might be the…

Doyle-Smith Cup Goes To Virginia Over Hopkins

March 27, 2016

An intense battle between two of the dominant programs in college lacrosse ended with six ties, overtime, and an epic finale as Virginia bests Johns Hopkins at home. Both teams are no strangers to overtime finishes, as each team finished their prior game in overtime. After Virginia winning the opening possession, Hopkins would be the first to open the scoring. Attackman Wilkins Dismuke would tally first after linemate Shack Stanwick…
