uva was back at their best saturday with some real aggression on their middie dodges, really the key to the whole matchup. even quint kessenich has noted that when you can aggressively dodge, it draws the eyes and slides of the defense, allowing others to be open. if the hoos can continue with the ...

Notre Dame loses a bunch: Pat Kavanaugh, Eric Dobson, Liam Entemann, Reilly Gray, Chris Conlin, Devon McLane, Marco Napolitano, Carter Parlette, Ross Burgmaster. Still think they will be pretty good next year, but that's a lot. Taylor having seemingly endless eligibility helps but ya ND loses a ton...

"Virginia limps into the tourney struggling on defense, in the cage and lacking firepower and depth at the midfield. Pummeled by defeats against Notre Dame (twice), at Syracuse and at Duke, you have to wonder whether the Hoos can re-kindle their previous form. This will be a confidence game fo...

This game is like the USSR playing the People’s Republic of China.

You can’t root for either one.

You want both to lose.

And they are both inherently evil to an extent.

What to do?

Great season for Towson and Coach Nadalen. Congratulations.

We have more IL Media All-Americans, which is why we will win.

First goal- 2-man game with Angelus, who does the definition of a dummy dodge (no intention of going to goal) and Collison slips into space. Second goal- EMO. Good ball movement. No dodge. Third goal- defender falls down as Collison dodges from GLE. Was this a "hard dodge"? We'll never kn...

No one has an easy quarterfinal game this season.

The USILA traces its roots back to 1882. When it comes to college lacrosse, it’s just about the oldest institution around. Can’t buy that kind of prestige.

It be what it be.

Survive and advance. Not pretty but got the job done. Needless to say they need to play a lot better than that to beat Virginia. Back to back quarterfinals for the first time in a decade. If you had said at the start of the season that they'd win the B1G regular season, be the #3 seed, and play a g...

One thing I wanted to note … because of his more aggressive play, Collison even drew a longpole for a while. Call that progress. Collison can be a beast … if Crawley and PM allow him to be. DocBarrister Collison had a great game, but not sure "aggression" had anything to do with it. 3 of ...

Dunn’s late-game FO heroics and the middies won the game. Collison (4 goals, 1 assist), Peshko (2 goals, 1 assist), and Bauer (1 goal, 2 assists) ramped up the aggression and were key to this win. Even Degnon, with a hard dodge and a right-handed goal, got into the aggression game. If the Blue Jays...

Definitely going to lose to UVA if they play like that, but credit to guys like Smith, Degnon, Peshko, Collison, and DUNN for refusing to lose this game and playing with heart down the stretch. Survive and advance UVA’s defense is very suspect. I wouldn’t count on a large betting spread here. We'll...

Takes a lot of skill and effort, no doubt.

Seven FOs in a row.
