Washington College 2024

It is more difficult to turn around then new administration or coaches, the culture must change, which takes time.

Tough to get top level talent that’s needed when admission is about 40k more a year then their eastern shore neighbors. Why would a high school kid pick wac over SU at this point?. Taking lax out of it Salisbury is about 10x more appealing to a 18-22 year old kid then Chestertown.

WAC has become a woke instituting. College administration more concerned about public perception than athletics. I believe they moved previous War at the Shore home game to Spring break week to avoid concerns of student drinking rather than address the issue.

Been to WC and Salisbury and WC wins hands down as nicer, better school with real academics. Chestertown is a lively little town. Yes, Salisbury is great at lacrosse but has nothing else. If you are playing D-3, there is a lot more than lacrosse(academics, travel abroad, community service opportunities, alumni networks, etc).

That's a great take - Salisbury is 30 minutes from the beach, has a pretty cool downtown, and is a solid D3 college town. School is academically highly ranked. Purdue Business School is top notch as is the Henson science school. Teams in decline usually try and knock other schools rather than spread the word about the great things their school is doing. Salisbury is Salisbury, they are who they are and they own it. WAC should figure it out. Stop bashing the AD - does he recruit, does he plan practices, does he set the schedule, does he admit recruits who have trouble competing at a high D3 level?
I think the WAC alums are awesome - amazing tradition. Steve Beville, Dickie Grieves, John Niostrant, Ricky Sowell and many others.

Own it - you are what your record says you are. Support the coach, work hard, and win.

Are you talking about WC or Salisbury-I am confused. Salisbury could not sniff Hobart’s or WC’s history jock in terms of national competitiveness D-1 or D-3 pre- 2000 but that is pre-2000s. Salisbury has been dominant in terms of D-3 only since then but would not characterize it as a highly ranked academic school. You will likely win again so crow on. Our kids graduate and go onto being employed in good jobs which is much more important.
For the WC alums, great school and nice town. You’ll be back at some point. Love Chestertown!

Bummed the Salisbury trolls allowed this thread to turn into some dumb comparison between the two. There is none. Salisbury is a winning program with an illustrious history of multiple national championships. It is a fine school with some cool selling points. Perdue, the beach, etc. You guys be you. We will be us.

Any comparison between the two is just distracting from the mission to get our program back to relevance.

Coach Nostrant has made clear it is one of his goals for a more competitive War on the Shore.

Today down Route 213 at Seagull Stadium, where Salisbury posts a 52 game home win streak the Shoremen were down 10-7 with 8 minutes to go...

Probably the tightest game Salisbury has played all year.

As an alum it was a great atmosphere and a beautiful day on the Eastern Shore. The drive down from Chestertown was beautiful.

It was an exciting game with huge hits, 100 MPH+ rockets to the upper corners, immaculate saves, and overall great lacrosse. Proud of our boys for playing hard and not backing down from "The Mighty Salisbury".

Hoping that playing Salisbury this well will inspire confidence in the Shoremen.

As for Salisbury, I still believe that they will repeat as champs in 2024. They are simply too big and physical, and their midfielders can shoot the ball better than most D1 offensive midfielders.

No moral victories, but...great performance from WAC. Completely shutting down Jude Brown (0/0) is really impressive.

[dirtybird77]

Huge confidence boost for the Shoremen as they need to go 3-0 to finish the year to make CC playoffs. Held Jude Brown (56) to 0/0 and 3 TO's. Hazlehurst (23) is an all conference defender for years to come. Shoremen outscored Salisbury 6-5 across the final 45 mins of game. Outside of a 5-0 run to conclude the first, WAC was composed and looked competitive. Impressive performances from Morgan (32) and Brennan (50) in a game where WAC proved they can hang with the best despite this seasons results. Today gives me hope for Nostrant and co. as the future in Ctown. Faceoffs continue to break the back of this team and they can't seem to get any momentum going since other teams practically are playing make-it-take-it. Defense is looking good with a young core of 40 and 23 and a few serviceable pieces on the roster already for next year and potentially more coming in next year. Things looking up.

Wow. I didn’t realize that. Who was covering him today?

Started to get that flashbacks from '18 and '19 when the fellas started to trickle in a few Gs early in the fourth. Certainly proud of the product WC put out there today. Many teams that play Salisbury fold before the game starts with the theatrics and intimidation of the Gulls in pregame but I am sure Coach Nostrant made sure that would not be the case for his guys this afternoon. This game will pay dividends and motivate young guys like Bond, Gallo, Hargrave, Rodgers and Co. that they can compete with the best of the best. Goes to show what solid goalie play and (almost) 50% at the face-off dot can do, few more successful clears and this games closer or even more so the guys are coming back to town with a W taking the Schooner Sultana out for joy ride on the river tonight.

Not sure what this schooner sultana rigamarole is all about. But I have it on good authority the fellas are riding dirty going into f&m on Wednesday. The stinkiest of the bunch being #11 & #48

[the_fish_whist1er]

The Dips have had WC's number for the last nine years but I think tonight is where the tide starts to shift back to the Shoremen. It seems like F&M is a far distance from where they used to be not so long ago during the Molihan and Keating days. Confidence should be high after last weeks performance against the National Champion favorite but everyone knows, anything could happen in CC play. I got the Shoremen 10-7.

[MVPiccoli]

CC seems a lot like the Patriot League in that way. Close games/upsets when you expect a blowout. Blowouts when you expect close games.

Never a fan of the Dips, they are like OWU in my mind. They overvalue their brand and themselves. Pulling for the Geese.

[ChopMan23]

Feels good to finally get a W over the dips. Season is still alive and these next two games are huge. Hoping they can carry the momentum into two winnable games. Roll Shore.

[the_fish_whist1er]

Be sure to get those Fish Fry tickets too, going to be a great weekend.

[ChopMan23]

Huge game today. I believe a win keeps the season alive. Can't wait to watch them battle.
