I agree on BC. They'll be battling with Louisville for the 7 seed. But not the same as JMU--JMU won their conference and made The Tournament the year after their Title. BC certainly won't win one round of the ACC and I seriously doubt they make TT. Part of JMU's success in their conference was beca...

USC and Stanford very back-and-forth. Mikaela Watson is making USC's zone look pretty dumb. USC looks the best I've seen them on attack this year (disclaimer: I haven't watched them that much), moving the ball well and attacking from different points. Is it me or did the USC goalie look a bit out o...

USC holds on to beat Stanford 13-12.

USC struggling a bit with Stanford. Nice free position goal by Miller though.

Good defensive stand by the Women of Troy with 2 minutes left.

Regarding Izzy Scane. This is from the NU campus paper. https://dailynorthwestern.com/2020/03/05/sports/lacrosse-no-7-wildcats-take-on-no-1-north-carolina/ KAH said she doesn't know if Scane will play against UNC (it's in the middle of the article). That could be her being coy and not wanting to giv...

I think if you ask the two most successful programs of the last decade they would probably agree. Player development is the reason why UNC consistently peaks in late April, whereas BC was losing steam by then in 2018 and 2019. It's the reason Maryland has made however many straight Final Fours and ...

Saturday - BC vs. Notre Dame (ND too much this year, they play like last year's BC team) BC by 4 Wait a second. BC by 4? Is that a typo? Is 4 a typo? I dunno, they only beat Duke by 4... Book, you think BC beats Notre Dame by 4 this Saturday? Sorry, should have been clearer on that. I meant I don't...

Wait a second. BC by 4? Is that a typo? Is 4 a typo?

Thanks. I’m not surprised that I got some of the details wrong. But it’s a good example of a coach taking a unique approach to getting the reserves some experience, which BC fans may wish had happened over the last three years. Also a good example of the committee closing “Gait loopholes.” lol, the...

'Cuse had those massive rosters approaching 50 girls in those days and it was nice that Gary obviously cared that they all got to see at least some playing time, since most coaches don't always seem to. That was actually one of the issues that the Duke coach brought up in that article way back. You...

Didn’t Cuse a couple of years ago schedule games on consecutive days or two games the same day with the second one against a much weaker opponent? My recollection is that Gary barely played any starters, if at all, and told the reserves that it was up to them to win the game and that if it got clos...

I think SU-VT is going to be a battle. Since Coach Sung went to the Hokies in 2017, all four of those games with Syracuse have been dogfights. 2017 regular season: SU wins 12-11 in OT 2017 ACCT Quarters: SU wins 20-13, but...the Hokies had a 11-10 advantage with 11 and a half left before the Orange...

What's the litmus test for pulling starters in a blowout? 10 goals? 15? Should starting players' playing time get cut because of a big lead? What if they need more time to practice techniques, running plays or what not? What if pulling them leads to a comeback by the other opponent? I think these ar...

From VT Twitter: https://i.ibb.co/yB3N8fv/vt2.jpg BTW when you look at this "margin of victory" is that something to be proud of? I guess it is if it was ND, Cuse, UNC, UVA, JMU, Duke....but it is Liberty, Radford, Elon, Cincinnati, Louisville and William & Mary Every athletic departm...

OK look at the VT and W&m game today. 23-3. One player, who happens to be a T watch list player, has 7 goals? 2 other starters have 4 goals, another with 3. Those 4 starters, 18 goals.... Is that necessary? Boost stats much? Well, 5 of Petty's 7 goals were in the first half. 6th came about six ...

Maryland doubles up on Navy 16-7. Middies did better in the last 15 minutes or so, but the game had been long decided at that point.

Umm, 10-1 and another TO. Running clock?? Running clock. 11-1....2:00 to go in the dismal half for Navy. I would never have expected that. Wow. A touch surprised at the mismatch, but not entirely. Maryland played three good teams the last few weekends (two in the top 5). That was arguably the harde...

Midweek upset? Could be. Virginia doesn't seem to be the same after the Richmond loss. Or looking past GMU to their next ACC game. Or maybe GMU is way better than advertised. Maybe. GMU has been solid in A10 play, though overshadowed by UMass and Richmond. I wish SPIDERLAXFAN was here since he's ou...
