It was great to see the new looks on offense, the obvious ones being Malever and Erksa in the open field. But also Whittier getting a bunch of run (he gave himself a few great looks which he hopefully drains this week). Erksa also got himself great looks as well that didn't get cashed. Nice to see S...

Wow, Duke has 18 grad students. How this team has lost 5 games is a mystery, but it doesn't matter now. Duke averages 50% more goals per game than Maryland so that's a pretty huge chasm. Terps may have to revert back to the slowdown offense to maybe take the Devils out of their preferred rhythm. I'd...

At the end of the day USILA list is the one that matters anyway. Why? Submitted by college coaches and goes to a committee. Not a bunch of guys who have never played college lacrosse. USILA also gives out the Enners, Schmeisser, etc. it’s the “official” list Do you think USILA is above the politics...

Why?

Agree it's shocking that a guy who does nothing but score tons of goals, many from his own playmaking, is not recognized better. But I doubt anyone's donating a testacle for his services.

Did he? I don't know. Did every player on this list dominate every half this season?

So I'd say the selection and seeding protocol worked perfectly this year. Nobody ever wants to congratulate the system, but it worked. Maybe you can argue amongst the seeds?

Impressive that Zappitello was the only unanimous selection

Oh, you're quoting message board posters' opinions. I mean, take the W.

Not surprised by this result whatsoever. Penn State came out firing, but people need to realize that Georgetown is built different this year. So much for Penn State being better at every position and winning by five goals I guess? Not really interested in grave dancing, but very typical for Georget...

Curious if Ajax takes O'Neill or Zawada. I assume he is used to negate Zawada's speed, then hope some combination of strength and slides can contain the MVP of the world.

I picked Princeton to win tonight. They gave Maryland about as good a game as St. Joe gave UVA and Zutah gabs Duke. Terps made the Tigers look like an AQ from a weak conference. I thought Princeton was better than this. I think Princeton is better than this, certainly the goalie. However, similar b...

Best Terps game in 2 years? McNaney was great. Malever, Erksa and Whittier in open space make a completely different offense, especially with #7 playing around the goal. Wierman and Zap completely dominated. 3rd quarter wasn't great, but that was the first fun game to watch in quite a while. And Kab...

Denver goalie can't stop anything right now

The angry elf carries such a petty chip on his shoulder; just so small time for ESPN. Today's Maryland dig referenced "scenic College Park". That's stupid for an internet message board poster; just weirdly angry for a 55 year old ESPN announcer. Definitely time for a new era.

This is McNaney's first season coming back from a full blown ACL tear. Some grace and caveats are probably needed there. He's had some struggles for sure, he's also had a lot of highs this year. Here's his save percentage by month February (4 gms): 59% March (5 gms): 42% April (3 gms): 64% The Penn...

As HopFan16 said, face-offs. Maryland won 21 of 24 in the Terps-Tigers game earlier this year. Princeton has improved a lot since that game, and McKeekin has looked strong in some games; the Tigers need to neutralize Wierman to have a realistic chance of winning. need to put it in perspective thoug...
