Excellent hire for Brown. Fast and well-executed search. I think he'll have success sooner rather than later. It will be interesting to see if Brown brings in some transfers; they've had more activity than the other Ivies in the portal in the past several years and the school and athletic administra...

@Finster: The silly ranting of some 15 year old kid -- or a guy 30 years older who writes like a teenager and who blows hot and cold on his own team depending on the scoreboard -- is not worth the engagement. It's been a fun tournament and I do think that Shellenberger has the inside track on the Te...

looks like Jon Torpey is the heir successor.....with the blessings of consultant- alums Starsia and Munro......seems like a winner.....Breschi extols him based on his 3 years as a captain at Ohio State........hope he can thrive at a location without the some 32 fountains that grace the High Point c...

Shelley preserves his chances. Solid game, but Wayer the best player for Virginia today. Tip the cap to the 2nd goalie That second goalie was playing in front of his hometown. Probably meant more to him than we can appreciate. Question: does Lars start him versus Maryland? Wondering the same thing....

For sure -- that's the kind of "put this on my back boys" moment that O'Neill just didn't have this year. Congrats to an awesome player for the kind of clutch moment that's made him a legend. Well done #1.

Congrats on a great year. I know this one stings but Jays really impressed. I thought Virginia might roll them when the score was tied at 7-7 but they hung in there and were about a play away from Memorial Day weekend. A couple too many failed clears; missed time-out by PM; missed crease call by the...

Why didn’t PM call a timeout. Draw up a play. Score. DocBarrister :? Or give his guys a rest. They clearly need it. I have had it with Peter Milliman. DocBarrister And my kudos to Tillman for calling timeouts every time correctly must be balanced out by questioning Milliman for not calling time out...

From the view from TVlandia, Hopkins probably got shafted twice on calls -- on the Millon 10th goal being upheld and the Kastner late hit/cross check to the head in OT -- but they had their chances. Great game. Tough for JHU to lose in OT like that but hats off to the Jays on a great year and anothe...

Congratulations to the Pios faithful -- pretty terrific for Matt Brown to get to Memorial Day in his first season as Head Coach. Denver played very well against Syracuse -- it's a pleasure to see the strong team defense -- and more than earned the spot in the semis.

A lot of ppl expected Cuse to get upset last week and they didn't. Now this week same thing Cuse will be upset. Denver is a good team but inconsistent. Which Denver team shows up? They have a chance if they bring their best but that might not even be enough. SU can score and not sure Denver can mat...

^^^^Get it out now, boys. Cuse gonna be ranked in top 5 next year. They return five 20+ goal scorers, an excellent FOGO, and most of the defense. Let’s strap up for fall ball already!!! This was a good year, lots to be optimistic about for Syracuse. Big question mark I think would be in goal? Do th...

I would highly doubt that many, if any people love Navy Lacrosse more than Tills does. I am sure Tills has a strong attachment to Navy, as he came of age there as a coach, got to work with one of the all-time great guys in lacrosse, Richie Meade, and coached some pretty extraordinary young people. ...

I think so, too.

Yikes, close one. I think Will Mark would like that one back if it's a good goal (although not much reaction time with the guy that close and the defender falling down).

Ha! That's fantastic.

Denver's 7th goal was awfully nice; they're playing great D (including on man down defense) and getting more confident on the offensive side of things.

For years I have thought Navy's run was more Tillman than Meade . . .

Carc described a few of his saves yesterday as "absolute perfection," so let's ignore the stats. Not one finalist is doing what they need to do to win this award. Bottom line. Entenmann didn’t look that great yesterday. If any Kavanaugh deserves it at this stage, it’s Chris not Pat. I’m s...

I think that some other coaches (and maybe some TV/media types) at this point fully believe Tillman is kind of witch doctor or voodoo doctor. Yesterday might not have been Tillman's most important win, but it might have been his greatest win. Pure magician. TerpTalk posted some videos from yesterda...

Buzz buzz! More that I watched the game on DVR and had embargoed myself from social media/Fanlax. So this was my real-time hot take.
