LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Calling for a stick check on a FOGO is always polarizing no matter who does it. "Classless" if it's called for by a team (or coach) you're rooting against, "totally fair, don't break the rules" if your team calls for it. I have a hard time getting too mad about it either way - i...

Looking back, I thought the bracket landed incredibly well in Tufts favor, and that was before SJF took out their only potential challengers. I think Tufts will bring a brutal end to SJF's cinderella story in what will have been a wildly easy path to the Final Four. Then I think Tufts will crumble ...

RIT 17 - CNU 8

Salisbury 16 - W&L 8
Tufts 18 - SJF 9

No team to hit o20 goals +105

RIT by 9?
If CNU shows like they did vs tufts, maybe. If thy come ready and legit, it’s a lot closer.

Congrats to the Captains on making their 4th straight Elite 8 and seeking their 3rd final four in the last 4 years. Going to be a good one up in Rochester. Based on the upsets we’ve seen so far this tournament, this is anyone’s game. Exactly. The consistent success for the last 4 years is exemplary...

Please stop treating this person as if they matter. Their entire goal is to be as toxic as possible and derail the forum; responding accomplishes that goal. Just look at the last few pages - it's the week of the quarters and semis, people (ergit, jumpman23, TaborAlum97, shorelax12, NNELax, etc.) st...

Question, were you a tap dance major at Bates?!! Haha!! Blah, blah, blah….you’re a Tufts and Midd hater at the very least. And you’re very negative. Now you’ve turned into a philosopher. Both Tufts and Midd have had great seasons, neither of which are done yet. Yet, you’ve been bad mouthing and bas...

Question, were you a tap dance major at Bates?!! Haha!! Blah, blah, blah…. You must not have been a history major at Bates. Heres a free lesson. Going from 18-3 to 12-8 is going DOWN. Class dismissed. Was not a history major at bates, 12-8 is down from 18-3. Prove me wrong. Well then, you need to g...

I guess you missed the first quarter of Swarthmore game. Watch it a come back to us. Hate to say it but Swarthmore just ain't that good so it is less impressive then it actually is. So we can then agree that Endicott, who beat Bowdoin by 3, and who Swarthmore smoked by 5, is ALSO “ain’t that good”?...

I just hope the Jumbos are ready for SJF on Sat. Based on the previous two games, it looks like they are on a mission. Wouldn't it be nice to avenge the NC loss to Salisbury. Even if they don't win it all, that game would make this "Down Year" that much sweeter. In any case, we have 3 NES...

Who run NESCACtown?

choochoo run NESCACtown.

I read it once that success is a spectrum, not some binary construct. If Tufts was smoking teams last year and never dropped a reg season game, then their record to date is down from that. They were in the NC last year. If they don’t make that, then their years end results are down as well. If Bowdo...

What success? Having two teams make the sweet 16 is a success. Especially for Swarthmore who is on the uptick. Success is a spectrum not binary Oh man. He’s just lobbing this one in there. But if I knock it out of the park, it would likely get me banned. And there’s too many NESCAC fans that have b...

I gotta hand it to the Middlebury players. They saw their coach’s predicament, and have really rallied behind him. I’m even tempted to give them the edge in this one. An animal is never more dangerous than when it’s injured - Panthers included.

Lots of talk on the forum of some big spots coming up.

Any validity to the rumors?

The Liberty League is the top conference in DIII lacrosse now, and for the foreseeable future. The first part is obviously true; the second part isn’t worth engaging with. Hey, when you’re wrong, you’re wrong. I thought they were the top conference at the beginning also but as the season went on an...

Lets talk about how RPI got blown out. Oh and SLU out too. What happened to the Liberty League? The NESCAC champ also lost to that same team that just took down the #3 team in the LL... Early in the season. This is tournament time when it really counts. NESCAC has three teams lefts. he was talking ...
