Some interesting matchups between the conferences today. All ranked teams on the coaches poll.

I just noticed that Florida beat High Point only by one, 16-15. Anyone see that one? Didn’t see it. But it is available for replay in its entirety on ESPN+. From the box score, it looks like HP had a 1 goal lead with under 4 minutes left before Ronbeck scored and then set up Kavanagh for the game-w...

Stanford on the ropes. Good one going in Palo Alto. [EDIT] FINAL: Buffs 20, Cardinal 13 I confess I am a little surprised at this result. Was it as lopsided as seven goals suggests? It was just one game, but they definitely looked the part of a top-20 team and validated their big win over the Hokie...

I do think you've got Michigan too high, which I guess is a polite way of saying "let's see how they do against better competition." Michigan's win over Denver was, I agree, a good win against a good team. Northwestern, which you have behind Michigan, has lost to BC, UNC and Syracuse -- t...

...who suggest this play (regardless of the call...correct or not) cost Da’ Cuse da game, bear in mind they were ‘oh fer’ on free throws for the entire game. :roll: No reason whatsoever to think the Da ‘Cuse player would have scored even with a free throw granted. Peace, out. TL Syracuse had only t...

1 - BC -- Didn't do anything to lose #1 spot with impressive road wins over #12 Navy (18-5) and #5 Northwestern (22-17) 2 - UNC--Tough 2nd half come from behind win over #5/6/7 Virginia 3 - UMD -- Could easily have lost to SU, (and UNC for that matter [both at home]) so I'm switching up #2 and #3 4 ...

I was thinking more insights on programs/coaching than specific play of 18-22 y\o. We have some great posters with much more knowledge than the average bear. Teams struggling or rising is just opinions but can be some help to some parents in recruiting years. Yes the mens college forums are brutal ...

Now the 9-0 Michigan Wolverines, thanks to another heroic late game effort by Molly Garrett, who scored the winner with 10 seconds left in the game to avoid overtime and seal the victory. Molly was responsible for the game winner in 2OT vs #25 Dartmouth, as well. They have a decent chance to inch up...

I don’t agree this is a slamdunk SS call. The camera angle is from the other side high and away giving a perspective that is not necessarily true to what is happening The defender does everything right: leading with her stick and it does look to me she is running at an angle into the attacker. I’ve...

Sometimes it’s a tough call. Sometimes it’s not. Colson runs completely and directly into the space earned by 51. It was 11-11 at the time. Three officials on the field. Really bad no-call. I was thinking the same thing. If all three officials, who are there specifically to watch the action and mak...

This was a real rock fight. Very chippy physical affair. It’s rare to see teams get even mildly nasty in women’s lacrosse. The last time I saw such a game was last year‘s ACC final between Boston College and North Carolina. The chippiness there escalated until Kara Klages was tagged with a red card....

Rosted on draw controls again: MD 18 SU 8. Anywhere near 50% and SU wins. Based on those numbers, conventional wisdom would say Cuse got blown out...face offs win games (well, maybe). Didn't see the game (don't see it listed on ESPN's replays either...anywhere you can see a replay of this one?), bu...

No question; stop the video at 15 seconds and Colson is simply charging in Hawryschuk's shooting space. Really bad non-call. And Hawryschuk did exactly what the rules require in the situation. Really bad non-call. Thanks for the video wlaxnut. You’re welcome, seacoaster. I enjoy editing so it’s alw...

The Seawolves again lost a game at the end— this time, holding a four goal lead with a little over 10 minutes left, choked it away and lost by a goal.

Thank you, kind sir.

Let’s see the replay. Here it is: https://youtu.be/gJ7WiXE9NS4 When Maryland defender Julia Braig slips to the ground while trying to cover Syracuse's Emily Hawryschuk, #25 Lizzie Colson rushes into the breach which should have been called shooting space. It's easy to see Colson was in shooting spa...

The more I watch Syracuse's first year player Meaghan Tyrrell, the more I am impressed. Check out this brave goal against powerhouse Maryland. Not afraid to go in amongst the face-high sticks into the teeth of the Maryland defense and score a big goal against the Terps. And another goal where she sh...

This was a real battle. A well contested game that could have gone either way right to the end. And yet I felt like Syracuse blew a few opportunities late--kind of choked a little bit, and Maryland seized their chance when Syracuse wasn’t polished enough, or nervy enough, or experienced enough, or w...

Good topic! Certainly the Michigan Wolverines are on the rise. Not just because they have won 10 games in a row dating back to last season, but because I think coach Hannah Nielsen's philosophy is beginning to take hold with the players. They ride aggressively and attack the goal aggressively which ...

This team is looking pretty serious this year. I don’t have any illusions of them winning the Big Ten, but they very well may make the conference playoffs. They’ve played and won against some decent teams – Dartmouth, Colorado and Denver (the last 2 were on the road) – and they remain undefeated wit...
