One word to summarize what happened Thursday: wow. All of the conferences except the ACC and Patriot League (who already finished their tournaments last week) and the Ivy League (who play Friday and Sunday) had their semifinals yesterday, and it brought some big results that will affect plenty of bubble teams. America East: Vermont 10, #15 Stony Brook 9; Hartford 11, #4 Albany 10 (OT) You read those scores right. Vermont…

This past weekend, I was with the rest of the Syracuse Men’s Lacrosse team down in Kennesaw, Georgia for the ACC Tournament. As you may know, the Orange defeated North Carolina 10-7 on Friday and then defeated Duke 14-8 to win their second straight ACC Championship. As you may also know, I am the team’s Video Coordinator, so I have some more access than most writers and reporters. During the…

Hofstra Makes CAA Playoffs With UMass Win

April 25, 2016

A battle would be the correct adjective to describe the matchup between the UMass Minutemen and the Hofstra Pride. UMass was looking to win their first conference game to stay alive in the hunt for a spot in the CAA tournament while Hofstra was looking for a victory to solidify their spot in the tournament. In the end, it took overtime, but Hofstra clinched their spot in the CAA tournament…

Ah, the Patriot League. Welcome back into the College Lacrosse Weekend Preview Foray my friend. It’s been just under two months since we last talked about you as our main subject. And now, it’s your time to shine again. Usually, there would be a big weekend preview out today, but since I got caught up in binge listening to Prince’s music (RIP), we’re doing something different. Today will be part one…

Hofstra On Track With Two Big Wins

With the conference-portion of the 2016 NCAA men’s lacrosse schedule in full swing, it’s time for teams to either put into fourth gear or stall out. The CAA-conference schedule is limited to five games this year, so every team in the CAA is fighting hard for a spot in the conference tournament in such little time. The Hofstra Pride, after opening the CAA-portion of their schedule with a 9-8 loss…

NCAA Bracketology V2: You Should Probably Win As Much As Possible

April 19, 2016

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…

College Lacrosse Weekend Preview: T-Minus 29 Days Until Selection Sunday

April 8, 2016
0 comment

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…
