That CNU take is wild. I have RIT by at least 5+ in that one. Everything else looks on par.

I believe it will be a very tight game, no way either win by more than 2

How much a CNU degree means in the real world? That's interesting. I have three kids who all played sports at CNU, with two of them being lacrosse players. They all are doctors now and make more money than you did in your late 20s and early 30s buddy. Have to agree, that is a low blow on CNU grads....

Caught a bit of the UMW game last week and glad to see someone caught the same thing I did - a lot of starters out with no real reason to unless you really needed to rest guys up for Stockton/Colorado College... word around the rumor mill was the core of the team finally stood up to the geriatric g...

With both W&L and Lynchburg playing tomorrow, it will definitely be a day to show ODAC supremacy over all conferences and divisions. Name a more complete conference… I'll wait. Do 2 good teams make a complete conference? If 2 teams is the measuring stick, CLC, Liberty, Centennial, Landmark and ...

Anyone on site for the scrimmages today that could provide some observations? Can’t give any detailed observations since I wasn’t there, but heard CNU beat Penn (non-starters) 7-5 and tied Lynchburg 5-5 in a game where both teams played non-starters. Both games were only 3 quarters. Heard the same,...

Unofficial score from the Hampton v. CNU was 30ish to 1, depth on CNU looks improved from last year

Lacrosse is a game filled with emotions and energy. Every team celebrates and chirps the other team. Tufts isn’t the only team that does it. These kids are 18-23 let them enjoy the game. In the PLL games today we all saw some chirping and borderline taunting, it’s just what happens when you put comp...

DeepPocket, I always love reading your post and your approach to topics in the D3 thread. Excited to see how York will look for the 2024 season.

I forgot to congratulate Salisbury and their fans for a remarkable 2023 season. What am I missing? What merit(s) did you all base your SMCM rankings on? 1 close loss? Ah23-NR And Froeman 15th GoldenBoy 19th Mr Lax 16th Skud NR Smova 22nd I based my top 20 off of tournament play, and they looked ver...

Looking forward to the 2024 season which teams lose/retain the most?

Congratulations on a well deserved and well fought win! Never been a big seagulls fan but I was very impressed by them all season and I’m glad they gave Tufts a beatdown.

I'm expecting some vigorous dissent so up front I'll admit a southern bias. Several years ago ah23 opened my eyes to more of a northern view but I think coaching and style of play is better in the south. That is why I ranked CNU ahead of Tufts. And I think had they played for the NC - CNU would hav...

#7 started the last half of the games which is who I am referring to, #21 looks like he is going to be a stud next season

Expecting CNU to be very dangerous next year but I am a bit worried about their defense next year. They graduated 2 starting defenseman (54 and 7) and an AA ssdm (4). Any of these transfers d guys? CNU did great with defense transfers a few years ago

Kean!!!!

HSC offense has looked a lot better without #7 in the lineup. Their defense is one of the best in the country. My new favorites to win the ODAC.

York v CNU scrimmage was more competitive than the scoreboard made it look. York hit a lot of pipes and missed a lot of opportunities they will convert later in the year. CNU looked good but seemed to struggle in the clear and on 50/50 GBs.

Whatever CNU is doing, it's working. The rich get richer. https://youtu.be/dWAG_iMpoBY 6'3" attackman who can finish inside, great vision and a hard shot. When he fills out a little bit he'll be a problem. They may lose a lot of players this year, but they aren't going away. CNU throws the net...
