LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Devil's advocate here (pun kinda intended) Why are we giving Fairfield a free pass here? Agree Navy should be in, but.... Does anyone here think Fairfield would beat Duke on a neutral field? Fairfield has 2 pretty bad losses (HC and Niagra), much worse than Duke's worse loss (Clemson). In terms of ...

Once you introduce the polls or the eye test, you throw objectivity out the window. This is a lot of outrage over the last team included. And I think that much of it is because of Duke and the animus they face on this board. And Maryland may not be the 4th best team in the country right now, they a...

Not saying Izzy doesn’t deserve it, but I’m curious how you can be named Big 10 attacker of the year when you don’t even lead your team in points. Because she is the best attacker, which isn't a statistical award, just like many other awards in many sports. She is clearly the best attacker on the f...

huh???

Interesting commentary about playing time and getting starters out- for SU. Going to be 80 in Cary Sunday. ND and BC are not used to playing in heat, let alone warmth. If by interesting commentary you mean, WHY IN THE F DID TREANOR LEAVE HER STARTERS IN UNTIL ONLY MINUTES LEFT IN THE BLOW OUT??? Th...

Cannot believe it is that time of year again. Here we are. Florida State is on deck and posted their position again this week. Have at it folks. Play nicely. Calling out LaxDadMax again! Come on man...give us your scoop! The following coaches were interviewed. Brian Spallina Chris Robinson, former ...

Syracuse over UVA 15-14. BC over Notre Dame 13-12. Can't wait. Wow, am thinking along the same lines. UVA looked mighty good to me in their last game (v UNC) and I didn't think Cuse was at their finest in theirs (1 of 4 on FPSs, out GBed by 5, just missed GBs they normally don't), gonna have to sha...

And...we get started with a terrible green card call. This may get out of control quickly ......Hopefully Louisville can keep it somewhat competitive. Louisville making it a game so far Love Emma Ward but her TOs have really hurt the team this year. Side note, CN better on field than in booth. Voic...

HOLY TIME OF REVIEW - that was silly!!!

Still scratching my head as to what the big deal was with discussing Natalie Smith's shot in overtime. I think the worst thing that got said was speculation that she didn't put enough speed on the shot. Does anyone seriously think that she would read the comments made about the shot opportunity she...

Somebody at Fairfield is hacking IL's RPI ratings. FAIRFIELD listed at #4 in RPI with only one Top 20 win and a Top 21+ LOSS. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Coaching and scheme will be the difference maker in this game - and Hop has the big advantage there - Hopkins with the W!

What is amazing to me is that Wurtzberger got a nod and Anna Brandt from Penn is nowhere to be found. SMH. Thats crazy....further, she's not named as a mid season AA :? but shes on the Tewey watch list? No offense but inside lacrosse AA list is complete nonsense . IWLCA and Tewaaraton people are wa...

This subject, or various permutations of it, has come up regularly (annually?) in the 20+ years I’ve been on laxpower/fanlax. Virtually all of the points being raised now are raised every year. My own view has evolved. Currently I think the best practice is to put subs in at the end of a lopsided g...

Hounds travel to the Dome for a potentially very good OOC matchup for both teams. Really nice that the coaching staffs have kept this game on the books year over year. I haven't seen Loyola play much this year and then only early, a relatively close win against Hopkins. Doc? I like Syracuse in a pr...

Don’t have any inside knowledge and am really just exercising my inherent poster-right to speculate, but if Ingrilli was healthy, wouldn’t she be playing? I thought there used to be a 50% rule, that is, if you played more than 50% of the year, you couldn’t red shirt even if you got injured. Is that...

I won't try to put myself forth as having looked at this with a trained eye but I thought this was the turning point of the game. Even though she scored 5 goals in the game, Carnavale's total lack of game awareness in this sequence was a real killer. And she's a grad student so the rookies take no ...

Thanks. 1 and 3 make sense, but as to 2, why not just play on and allow the team that gets possession of a rebound that doesn't go out of bounds to keep the ball as would be the case on a regular (non-simultaneous whistle) shot? I guess I'm not seeing the rationale for this. Because when that whist...
