LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Saw press release stating that 31 members of the Midd men’s team made the nescac spring all academic team. Since you’re only eligible after your first year, that must mean close to 70% of the team is carrying a 3.5 or higher gpa. What true student athletes.

[/quote] I do worry about Simpson being off and on with injuries this season, anyone else think his fitness has been lacking? Maybe a few too many Magic Hat's up there in VT coming for his waistline, one heck of a stick though [/quote] He had the one injury that kept him out for much of the season. ...

RIT: Mike Grace (D) -> Syracuse

Heard Trucksess from Dickinson to Hopkins

Was talking to a buddy and apparently Michigan already has 5 transfers. 2 Princeton kids and a D3 transfer. Wasn't sure on the other two. I'd expect announcements soon. They really need some midfield dodging and dodging in general. The attack was way to turnover prone, especially given how much of ...

Anyone see both Midd-Bowdoin games? What changed that Bowdoin had so much trouble second time around? Also doesn’t seem like Bowdoin has ever been to a final 4 in school history, so even more on line for them. But a 8 hour bus ride from Maine is brutal. Let’s just hope Tufts gets by Salisbury and i...

They also beat SLU, something York was unable to do

I know, just wanted to watch the frenzy. Soft bunch these NESCACians.

100%, never disappoints.

Please continue (elsewhere) in search of the hard members you both are seeking…

Wesleyan is just absolutely rolling right now! So many weapons and really They are super tough on defense with an excellent goalie. They completely shut down the Middlebury offense today. This team has something special for sure. Definitely the most unselfish team I have seen play this year, Congra...

Home team most likely to lose the first weekend. Union, Dickinson or Lynchburg Union by a longshot. The other two will probably be narrow favorites at worst; Union has to play a team that beat them by a million goals. Second year in a row that Union hosts a stronger seed. I believe Midd beat them ~...

clown (who's Middleburg?)

Choochoo crying himself to sleep tonight. Why did the dead baby cross the road, Blaine? I would have put in Amherst over Bowdoin but that was a toss up, Midd was clearly going to be in once they made the finals. 4 CAC, 4 LL, the dominant leagues dominating the bids. As it should be. Pairings set up...

I could see the move to Middlebury. Tufts and Amherst's seats are not warming up... None of those administrations care a whit about the on-field success of the men's lacrosse teams. Categorically false. The Athletic Director at Middlebury was the men’s lacrosse head coach for 15 years and 3 champio...

This is your analysis? 3 offside calls against SLU was why they only scored 4 goals until well into the fourth quarter? I guess football lines are part of Midd's advantage at home.

https://i.ibb.co/SwzDfnZ/IMG-9082.jpg Did anyone watch any of this? Has to be one of the more surprising results of the season, in the middle of a very weird stretch for Middlebury. In the past ten days, they have: - looked lifeless in a loss against Hamilton - won a rock fight with Colby - dominat...

What’s the point? Same question could be asked for Tufts, RIT, or any other team with postseason expectations. Every NESCAC and LL team gets great competition in conference play, and there are a ton of ranked OOC teams in the region if they want to beef up their schedule even more. What's the point...

[quote=choochooCharlie post_id=525670 time=1709775225 Are Middlebury and Bowdoin still the best teams now… They never were. Just a bunch of hype and avoiding tough OOC. When they can’t duck tough OOC they fold like a cheap suit. [/quote] Been discussed on here for weeks. Middlebury avoids tough OOC ...

[/quote] Thank god they didn’t beef up their OOC, [/quote] You continually whine about posters’ unwillingness to accept your assertions that you are a dispassionate, objective poster even as you continue to leave evidence of your bias(es).

Looks like Tufts broke CNU…

Midd has done less with more for quite awhile at this point. Far more surprising when they play to their potential than when they don't.
[/quote]

For sure. Just like last year when their three losses were to Tufts twice (both on Bello) and once to RIT (also on Bello).

[/quote] Great take - and I join you in admitting to a wait and see posture. But we had two, top-10 matchups last night. One team clearly got up for the moment, and the other did not. Tufts convincingly proved they're the favorite in the league. And two games in - Bowdoin looks a lot closer to catch...

[/quote] I think Amherst is better than the result vs Midd might indicate - Lord Jeffs committed a whopping 10 turnovers in the first quarter which spurred the early Midd run and offset Kopp's strong performance at X. They only had 6 turnovers in the entire second half, which was more evenly played ...
