Middy: Maggie Clarke too!

JMU loses quite a bit in the way of senior starters. Offensively: Bella Peterson, Kaitlyn Morgan, Kacey Knobloch. Midfield Taylor Marchetti. Defense: Alex and Lizzy Pirisino, Nikki Marshall. JMU will be down for sure but they always find a way as they have some solid players back and are recruiting ...

Delaware should be a perennial top 15-20 program every year, same with their women's program. Great location, great stadium, great campus, strong enough academics. I put them in the underachieve category.

Great player and person, as are his parents. Hope he kills it the rest of this season!

If Rutgers beats UMass and can manage to beat Ohio State and Michigan, they will need to steal a game against either Hopkins and or Penn State, both of who are HOME games. Then win a Big tourney semi final game. That will put them as one of the final 2-4 "bubble" teams and their RPI will b...

If JMU wins draws, their experienced offense may be the difference in the big games going forward as they are playing at a very high level. Defense is coming along nicely after having lost two defensive, program stars in Matey and Durkin. Several of the young players have athleticism and make plays ...

Florida leaving portends something else happening? More conference realignment? But really, having JMU in the conference was perfect and with USF coming in, another good program. I guess they are concerned about losing in state.

USF coming in next year? Charlotte?

To be more clear, the JMU fouls were more egregious according to the stripes, not just greens but 7 yellows. That is why the score became so close but again, you have to credit UConn for coming back. They had more draws and many more shots than the Dukes. IMO, the officials are becoming too much par...

Interesting stat for the JMU-UConn game today. Fouls in the second half were 20 for JMU and 2 for UConn. Hmmm. Credit to UConn for making the second half comeback but…..

Villanova always has very solid teams. They did not look as strong today. Rutgers was down 0-2 and completely dominated every aspect of play finishing on a 21-1 run. Lots to like about the new players mixed in with the known. Goalie Stoller is outstanding. Kelly and Krummenacher are great additions ...

Rutgers will surprise people this year with Kelly and Krummenacher? on attack helping to free up Scott. Stoller, the goalie is very good and the defense will be a major surprise. The "Nascar" style of play is back as they have added some pretty good athletes to the SSDM group. If Rutgers c...

Lacrosse is wildly popular and growing all over the country, especially around metropolitan areas (suburbs). The college lacrosse attendance issue is not correlating due to playing in incredibly cold weather and when that finally warms up, it is then competing with youth and club lacrosse. Moms, dad...

The portal is NOT going away unless new rules are put in place.

Rutgers

Who do you have going to the final four in Philly? Any sleepers?

Great breakdown of the top 50 players and those that were snubbed. They have a better feel and insight.

Curt Dudley, the Voice of JMU!

Uh, Do you mean the AAC? that is more likely to happen than the ACC.
