LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Does the bad weather affect the women's sticks more than the men's? (smaller web pockets)

It was clearly a mistake the way Penn State was handling that penalty. They were clearly being too cautious and tentative. Same for when the penalty expired. It was as if no one wanted to take that final shot. Should have drawn up a play for that final shot. DocBarrister Precisely what I was thinki...

I think some of you need to reframe your idea of what the "next step" is. While making the final four next year would be awesome, the "next step" is actually being good and relevant two years in a row which means tourney appearance and hopefully QF participation. While its certa...

Sorry to see it end, but what a great year. Lots of great players and performances, but most of all, Hopkins lacrosse is fun to watch again. Can't wait until fall ball! +1 Lots of room to grow. But a good foundation. Thanks to everyone except Sag A for a fun year I had this team at 3-4 wins at the ...

A big Congrats to all Jays, 1st line, 2nd line & Scout team, for hardworking and perseverance, and to the coaches for getting them into the Quarters. Way to restart the program from the depths of Mt. St. Mary's.

Too many things factually incorrect in the post above for me to do the usual sentence by sentence break down so I will spare everyone. 06 is off to a great start for '24. Some things never change. 06 — when are you going to put yourself on your "Down" list for all the inaccuracies? Are An...

Thanks, I needed a reason to smile

That was a flop worthy of World Cup soccer, but an embarssment for an All American.

"As the Wizard said "Play fast - don't hurry""

Small nit, it was "Be quick but don't hurry" (which applies to sports as well as life)

Time to pull all starters, don’t want to embarrass, show up the other team :) Too late.... Don’t want injuries, either. Sub all the starters and play the third and fourth middie lines. Reserves have earned some real playing time. DocBarrister A lot of Reserves are not allowed to suit up for tourney...

Just one?

How do they come up with such crap in the first place ? I'd be willing to bet it was and has been the collective school's decision: save travel money. Penny-wise and pound foolish IMO. My bad. It appears that the NCAA pays for the tournaments and travel. All teams are capped, so other Scout teams c...

bcos the term fits better with women's lax (and is therefore easier for the TV interns to grasp)?

More importantly, what's wrong with Sudden Death for OT?

big miss by the interviewer of Jenny Levy right after half. As Levy prattled on about enforcing teh rules, the announcer should have asked Levy about her own player playing defense on the shooter without her stick.

terrible non-call. Playing defense w/o a stick?
