The highlight of the work week comes from Division III, where a top five matchup will take place Wednesday in Maryland, with No. 2 Lynchburg taking on No. 5 Salisbury. This game was originally…

#5/7 Orange Open Up Their 100th Season Against Siena
Achieving 100 in nearly anything is worth celebrating. Whether a person turns 100-years-old, or someone gets 100 wins, or someone gets 100% on a test, the number is a very magical one. For Syracuse, they turn 100 years old since first fielding a team back in 1916, and they will celebrate it all year long.

Sort of, because the east coast is gonna get bone-crushing cold this weekend that is altering the college lacrosse schedule throughout all divisions. Some games…
