12.6 would be an added bonus to Mike Corrado's ability recruit All American players and consistently competitive teams.
The Cats put on another solid performance at Lehigh on Saturday. I saw the Colgate game at Villanova Stadium and watched the Lehigh game on ESPN Plus. Nova has eight contributing offensive players, with Licatta and Michner scoring a combined 21 points in three games, and Reale and Holy Cross transfer McIntire leading the assists category with 7 each.
Anthony Wilson is very solid in goal. Coppola is a bull at FOGO and the defense is strong despite graduating AA Chet Camizio and LaPorte.
There’s not much confidence in the media polls for Villanova. The Wildcats beat Colgate 15-9, but USA Lacrosse Magazine ranked Colgate #21 and excluded Nova from the top 25. Similarly, Quint Kessenich ranked Colgate at #21 Colgate and has Drexel at #24, but Nova is not in his top 25.
Nova faces Drexel Tuesday night.

Way way too early for Drexel to appear on any rankings.
They’re still looking up to other CAA teams, the Hens, the Tigers. We’ll have to wait and see how they do over this coming four game stretch, which includes UVA.
But, they are getting some solid production, good contributions from their past two recruiting classes.
Liam Kammar is one player who I would point out, a transfer-in with still one more year of eligibility - a very solid all-conference level, physical, quick SSDM.
