That is very correct. Strong demand.

Regarding Oberlin- Coach Grossman (Conn College 2005 All American and 1st team NESCAC goalie) decided after 10 years he would pursue a Master's full time to better move ahead in the field of education and seize greater opportunity. He had a very strong relationship with the athletic dept and admissi...

NCAC has outlined broad athletic plans for Fall 2020. Conf only, limited season, testing protocols, stating the landscape may change etc. https://www.northcoast.org/News/2020-21/Releases/NCACFallUpdate20 Oberlin has decided to cancel Fall sports given the potential health risks to student athletes, ...

It will be interesting to see how this gets executed at the school and league level. Like D2, it's a 33% reduction in minimum games required to allow for compliance flexibility. However, D2 also introduced a new maximum number of games (for lacrosse-13) to ensure a somewhat even playing field next y...

I hear you. However, I'm not so sure that dropping 2-3 reg season games will have a huge budget impact and save programs at the D3 level. I agree that travel overall is a large line item that drives away game expense. However, dropping 20% may not be a huge cost savings. Most teams have away games t...

I agree on the necessity to plan. There are so many things outside of our control. However, one can control one's thoughts, judgements and actions. For what it's worth, I know a D3 senior student lax athlete who like all senior spring athletes, has been granted a conceptual 5th year of athletic elig...

OWU cancels all Spring sports for the season effective Monday 3/16. The day gets tougher.

Unfortunately Wittenberg cancelled all Spring sport seasons late yesterday as well. As stated, the NCAC has not issued a collective response to Covid 19. In light of recent NCAA and Pro-Sports shut down, I would expect more teams to follow. Shared heartbreak.

Oberlin and DePauw just announced cancellation as well.

Oberlin and DePauw cancel spring seasons beginning today 3/12.

Trying to get updates regarding continuation of NCAC lacrosse given Covid-19. It looks like all are going to remote learning either now, thru respective spring breaks or possibly through the remainder of the year. Regarding lacrosse/spring sports here is what I've read to date: OWU and Witt- sports ...

Some tight wins yesterday. Wooster by 2 over Capital (fought off a comeback). Kenyon comes back at the end to defeat Baldwin Wallace by 1. DePauw loses to Transy by 2 in a tight one. Alleghany outmatched vs Mt. Union by 10 goals. Out of Conf games in the midwest are no longer a cakewalk. Right now i...

Yes and Oberlin beat Albion, the team that beat Wooster a few weeks ago. More games and match-ups for all. Looking for consistency and the respective teams in the conference to establish their identities. Should be fun. Albion didn't beat Wooster a few weeks ago. Wooster played its first game and b...

Yep- I would agree. Pretty tough start for sure but they did lose a lot of senior talent from last year's squad. Let's see how they do against a very good John Carroll team tomorrow. Not ready to write off the NCAC or any team just yet. (Although I did see that Witt had a loss tonight against a well...

I'm not so sure that the NCAC is experiencing a down year. I think other teams are getting better. I'll state what many have stated before. It may be that an inevitable lacrosse participation math equation is taking root. More people playing=better chance of more great players. The sport continues t...

Nice win by Oberlin over John Carroll 13-11.
