LaxPower Back-Up Stick

First I want to preface this question that I have by saying I am someone who has a lot of respect for the Gulls program, and in particular Coach Berkman. Amazing he’s won national titles in each of the last 4 decades. I had a conversation with a good friend today who’s an avid lax fan when I posed t...

meeting earlier. and seeing how tufts had trouble with a southern team. RIT had a lot more weapons than w&l. oh. and let’s not forget, RIT is the first team tufts will face that wasn’t an upset stevenson upset Union SJF upset St Lawrence W&L upset Salisbury. and before the tufts cult has a ...

I'm not going to say the current vote count so as not to influence other voters but 11 have voted and... Interesting. Might be due to their meeting earlier in the year. I voted RIT, my thinking is they are slightly more balanced overall as a team. Like the RIT coach in this spot. Wild card is regne...

Interesting hadn’t considered that. Back to back games for a final four does seem just a little extreme. I’m sure it’s all about the dollars.

Congratulations Generals, like Coach McCabe said “ we’re not happy just to be here.” In the end, you were rode hard and put up wet. Playing Salisbury and Tufts back to back in 24 hours,I’d really love to see who could have pulled that off. After the Salisbury win and in the manner it was done I don’...

Thank you Ah23. Salisbury won’t go D3 I think all the teams would have to go D1. Maybe I’m wrong

Aside from possession issues in the second half Brown never touched the ball. I don’t get it. I agree 100%. You are the leader of that Offense. Go demand the ball go through you. That’s what great players do. Not disappear when you need possession during a 9-1 run. Brown is a great player. Last yea...

tough loss today. Credit W&L for not throwing in the towel when they got down early 8-1. This Gulls team had a tendency to start fast then kinda lose focus and coast thru some games. Today it was bad penalty after bad penalty , a faceoff tandem that looked visibiliy frustrated, and Washington &...

The kid continues to amaze me. He goes up against one of the best fogo’s in D3 and instead of just holding his own goes 20 of 33 for a 60% win rate. He kept Salisbury from going on a run. Yes I know it was 8-1 at one point but that had nothing to do with him. Of the 20 face offs he won 13 or 65% of ...

Do you believe in miracles !
One of the truly historic victories down 8-1 against an undefeated Salisbury cruising toward a record breaking 14 national title. Spano MVP!

I don’t know much about the nitty gritty of any of this. But if this team has sustained tons of injuries and still gotten this far I’d say they’re pretty gritty. If they’ve rallied back from a bad Stevenson loss and 4-3 start to have a 9-0 ODAC record. Rallied after a disappointing performance agai...

I’ve been waiting 3 years for CNU to win it all. 10 years ago I was of the opinion that being a state school, tuition, facilities and waterfront location, and weather, that it had a lot of attributes similar to Salisbury. All they need was to add a good coach and stir. If they don’t do it this year ...

Dehunt, Speaking of AAs, I was just told by USA Lacrosse that Alex Brown’s 70 goals were not enough to even be considered for honorable mention because he had only 3 assists, his goal total was good for 19th, and his point total was 179th in D3. I’m sure he would trade it all for a victory vs Salis...

Spano is your guys key for an upset. He has the ability to take over a game and he’s been the best freshman in the country IMO. If he can help you guys play make it, take it, then the genies will have a punchers chance. Spano is good, but the difference was the wing play. That was evident after the...

Crazy score holding Salisbury to 6! That’s a tough D. I believe they played them later that year in the NCAA’s losing this time in a very low scoring contest.

Salisbury is tied w Hobart at 13 for most national titles. You know these players want to be on that team to break the record and win it for Berkman. This is Salisbury 15th unbeaten season, they have over a 53 home game win streak at home , the number 1 ranked scoring offense, largest winning margin...

Well played game by W&L, right now they seem to have lychburgs number. If they can win faceoffs next week, they always have a chance, but I don't think they can stop salisbury for 60 mins. That's a tough ask. 18-10 salisbury. Big time win by the generals in the playoffs. Congrats. Totally agree...

Great to see our gennies deep in the playoff yet again. Sticks look relatively sharp and legs are strong. Always room for improvement though. Another year struggling to play the pick and roll / weave. Need a strategy - switch or hedge!! No chatter. The man up sets looked abysmal today, and only 2 a...
