Any thoughts on final four: Sa Tufts Bowdoin RIT A Tufts - Sals rematch would be fun to see again. Looks like someone has forgotten about Elite 8 games. As a very long time W&L fan, let me remind you of what happened in 1975. Generals played number 2 Hopkins, at Homewood, no one gave Generals a...

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...

Ground hog day.. Congratulations W&L. Earned that win. Spano and DeCain shine. Punch SAL.. Good season for LYN. Work those quiet hours. Agree, Freshmen lead the way but the FO wings played great. I thought Lyn middies had a good game as well, we just had the ball too many more times. valaxfan

Teams remaining that played in the Mustang Classic CNU, Lynchburg, W&L, Tufts, SLU, Stevenson, Dickinson, and RIT. These teams have the advantage of having played on back to back days already this year. Good point Rich. I am sure all the kids playing are jacked up for today. Go Gennies!!! valax...

Thanks. Goal/FO offset. Close as expected otherwise. Does that wider win % indicate W&L favored. A bit warmer this afternoon. Starters fresh. Should be great atmosphere. Could it be as helter shelter as NOKEs game last night? No, Lynchburg favored but we all know how that could work out. valaxfan

Maroons sure had their chances in the last 5 minutes to tie this game. I counted 3 pipes. Roanoke was wizzing their shots but Stevens held tough. It was a fast and fun game to watch.

PB, in Dehunt's defense, he didn't know about the severity of the injury, so he kept wondering, that's all.

Anyone know if some of the injured players are coming back for the weekend games? Allen is a possibility, if his hammy has healed. Beatty is out. Barringer, did not see him on sidelines last game, I am guessing he's out. Mannino is back but in a knee brace. But, we could really use Allen and his da...

Dehunt, what is your affinity with Beatty?? The kid has a torn ACL he's not coming back, can it you old fart. Paul, no need to make personal remarks about dehunt, he's a seasoned poster on these forums. However, I am gonna have to agree with you here- give it a rest and stop spending so much of you...

Does anyone have any intel on Stevens? I hear they are good. Big defensemen with an ex D1 goalie and a slick attack unit. Any player in particular to keep an eye on? Here is what I found on lacrossereference.com (I have an account): Roanoke Upcoming Schedule: Opponent: Stevens Date May 11 Adj Off R...

Fun reading all this, thank you. W&L has had some legendary games over the years for a team that’s never really broken through and gotten to a D3 championship weekend. The game I always think about was around 2000 when they were #1 or #2 all season but were shocked in the ODAC finals (HSC I bel...

Wilson field was sold out for the Roanoke game in ‘87. ‘87 was the first year of D3 lacrosse W&L. The team spent time at #1 in the polls during the season, at the time Hobart was in the middle of their D3 Nat’l Championship run. The ‘87 team lost in the NCAA tourney final four to Ohio Wesleyan....

What looked like the first good matchup of the weekend is as competitive as hoped/expected, Babson-Denison has been a really good game through three quarters. Congratulations to Babson and good luck the rest of the way. Was a good game and hard fought both teams. I’ll admit I didn’t see 6 for 26 co...

It was such a great environment. People in the area seemed to really rally around this small mountain college as it took on some of the sport’s most mainstream brands. It’s unfortunate, but I don’t see any small colleges being able to garner crowds like that in any sport in this day and age. Kids d...
