Final SUNY ratings (my system) These may change a little depending on how Geneseo and common opponents perform in the NCAA's. The numbers in parentheses represent the estimated goal differentials between the rated team and the #1 team. To prepare for next season, I included Morrisville and Canton. ...

Well, it came down 1 goal. Got that part right

Glass half full!

Great game to watch, and I hope the rematch (between RPI and RIT) will be just as entertaining and close

I was leaning toward the stopped clock and being right 2x / day, but I'll take it

Well now I have to change my prediction

Well, it came down 1 goal. Got that part right

My rating system says...

Geneseo 12 Potsdam 7

Predictions (which will surely be wrong)

RIT 16 Union 11
St Lawrence 12 RPI 11

They also just started working with a S&C coach year round over the past few seasons and probably why you can notice those boys not getting ran off the field by C state like we did in the past since S&C was generally captain led. That seems to have added a whole new dimension to this progra...

Competition is good and things take time. Has Cortland completely fallen off the map? On the field, just watch the third quarter of the RIT game this year and you'll have your answer. Off the field, look at the disciplined (and different) approach LR has taken. Signs of life and promise for the (re...

2024 Negatives Offense - This unit desperately, desperately needs an offensive threat who can break down a defense with a dodge. They struggle to make passes in tight quarters and commit way too many unforced turnovers. I can see what the coaches are trying to do with their sets, but they don't hav...

Berkman... good... yes. Young? Well I guess you're only as old as you feel.

Good call. He's younger than me, so I set the bar different than most

It’s funny as an Alumni that’s my thought too, and if Coach B can capture some recruiting success from this season they should be able to keep the train moving forward! We missed a super talented kid in Rowisonkies Barnes who unfortunately missed all season with a leg injury, but he should be able ...

Potsdam's win over Cortland should serve as a wakeup call. If the Red Dragons wish to be a top-20 Division 3 team again, they have a long way to go. 2024 Positives Coaching - This team did not have a good enough roster to go 11-5 and 7-0 in SUNY, let alone beat St. John Fisher and Nazareth. They als...

Congratulations to Potsdam. I'll be cheering for you on Saturday. Geneseo looks very strong right now, but you have a real chance. Coach Rogers - I hope you're recruiting. Wow, the Cortland offense has no punch. I've been watching Cortland lax since 79-80. This is by far the weakest offense I've eve...

There is a good chance the three of them could finish with league records of 3-4. Possible ? If (big if) the following things happen; Today Brockport loses to Geneseo Oneonta beats New Paltz Potsdam beats Plattsburgh Saturday Brockport beats Potsdam Oneonta loses to Oswego 3 way tie would happen wi...

What is the tie breaker for sunyac playoffs? If there is a 3 way tie. That's a good question. The SUNY lacrosse tiebreaker rules didn't come up in a Google search. In the case Leonard laid out, you would throw out head-to-head, as the teams would be 1-1 against each other. I'm assuming the next cri...

I planned to drive to Cortland for the annual battle of the Red Dragons, but thought better of it. Didn't expect a competitive game. Instead, I attended the Cornell-Harvard game. Turned out to be an excellent decision. Later, I streamed the Cortland-Oneonta replay and saw pretty much what I expected...

Agree. Brockport could be the biggest loss for SUNY if they hit their potential.

SUNY is way behind the Liberty but pretty comparable to the Empire 8. After Geneseo departs, SUNY will fall below the Empire, unless Oswego takes their place, one more team steps up, and Cortland returns to early 2010s form. The Red Dragons are a lot more pedestrian than many realize. They're still ...

Shots fired. Oswego beats Nazareth. We have a legitimate three-team race for the SUNY championship.

Seems typical this season that we get gorgeous weather early in the week and everything goes south by Saturday. Big games today. I've run a rating system for several years. Here is what it says about today's LL games: RPI in a close one over Union St Lawrence over IC RIT comfortably over Clarkson Sk...

Like Cortland, Brockport archives their video replays. You should check out that game. Brockport controlled the game defensively. Game day! Mother Nature loves to bring her worst on Saturdays, or so it seems. I'll be flipping between games on ESPN+ and Big Ten+ while streaming D3 games on my PC. Goo...
