Easter weekend yielded the annual matchup between Salisbury and Stevenson with the teams entering play among the top three in the land. The Seagulls emerged victorious, 11-9, and with the win leapt them past the Mustangs into the No. 2 spot in this week’s USILA Coaches Poll. Stevenson now finds itself the No. 3 team in the country behind the two teams that have felled it in 2014: RIT and…

I wrote last week about how Springfield College is in a position where every non-conference game is a must-win due to the relatively weak conference it calls home. I likened it to Cabrini and its position in the CSAC and this week we saw one team keep their non-conference roll going while the other stumbled against what looked like the far superior team. The Cavaliers saw their first drop of…

This past week was, when compared to the previous week, a fairly pedestrian one. The best teams took care of business and the top six of the USILA Top 20 seems to have taken its permanent shape. RIT, Cortland, Salisbury, Tufts, Stevenson, and Cabrini have been on a whole other level than the rest of the country and it will take a major shakeup for any other teams to crack…

The first full week of Division III lacrosse is in the books and the warts of preseason polls are beginning to show themselves. Gone are teams like Western New England, Middlebury, Stevens and Roanoke—all good teams off to slow starts—while teams like Springfield College and Endicott have shot towards the top 10.  The top end has stayed true, but the rest of the poll has proven to be an inexact…

Predictably, the RIT Tigers have taken over the No. 1 spot in the USILA Top 20 after knocking off Stevenson in overtime on Saturday afternoon. The Mustangs weren’t punished too harshly for the loss, falling just two spots to No. 3 while Cortland jumps up to No. 2. Salisbury and Tufts round out the rest of the top five. Two teams suffered upsets on Saturday and both teams were punished…
