Watched the womans championship game yesterday , absolutely fantastic play . Damn shame these 2 grt academic institutions do not have mens lacrosse teams , just mind boggling sadly you can't fix stupid ...might as well throw Pitt into this as well. all 3 could have a yearly top 20 program, but refu...

Adelphi wins 12-9 after a late game surge by St A's. Adelphi led 10-4 after 3Qs. Was 11-9 with 3 minutes left, but Adelphi had too much of a lead. LR beat a tough Tampa team 15-14. Probably was the national championship. Great game, LR was down early and then it was a barnburner at the end. LR play...

Went with RIT for two pretty simple reasons: 1. I think they are a better team than Tufts 2. I think their ability to play multiple styles means they can make Tufts uncomfortable in a way that almost no other team can As much as RIT can put teams in a blender on offense (see: second half avalanches...

Ain’t on Nunes. UVA is giving up the middle of the field way to easily. All 4 goals were created by getting to the middle of the field.

Going to OT.

Salisbury bailed out by a push call.

For the record I did not think it was a push. Merely a stick check.

Wow.

Last time Maryland was at Hofstra, they were screwed by no replay in 2019.

Replay might have just put them into the Final 4

Does Brown look at Chris Wojcik?

Notre Dame’s offense has been a juggernaut and their man up is unstoppable.

I know his tenure at Harvard was inconsistent, but he did lead them to an Ivy championship.

Lars missing Kerwin? I think it's more whether this team is built the same way in terms of being dominant at the specialist positions. In the 2019 and 2021 seasons -- even aside from the enormous talent on the roster -- the Hoos were well-constructed for a post-season run with a great "playoff...

Inkblot does a good job tracking all D2 sports. Produces rankings every Monday.

I think you’ll be seeing more and more programs follow on this path, whether it’s a wise decision or not. A lot of these college admins see D2 as a wasteland. A lot more money to field a competitive team than in D3 with nearly as many schollies as D1, with a fraction of the reach of a D1 athletics ...

Anyone watch the Southern vs. Montevallo game? Any insight on what happened? Shocking that Southern beats Wingate last week and then loses in OT to Montevallo. I watched it. I was pretty shocked at that game. The first quarter was all Montevallo. Montevallo won probably 80% of the faceoffs and the ...

Division 2 now runs through the south. LR looks to be the team to beat again, sharp on offensive for the start of February. Florida Southern is definitely a tournament contender and looking at last year and this game for Wingate looks like people have learned to limit their 2 main guys and theres n...

Was told RIT beat Mercyhurst and Canisius rather convincingly.

Gaston and Pilcher scored in bunches.

Mercyhurst starters apparently were up on Cleveland St and beat Denison.

Was told Mercyhurst was up by 5 when starters were pulled.

Did not hear his name.

It does sound like Hurst ponied up some more for salary and went out and made a good hire.

Not hearing good things out of Mercyhurst.

“Chris Ryan was working miracles with the budget and coaching salary.”

Expect an underwhelming hire.

Saw Gravino a bunch, being from WNY. He reminds me a lot of Adam Dimillo.

Athletic, tough 2 way Middie.

Don’t know what UMD’s DMid situation is, but I could see Gravino being used on the face off wings.

Wow, no more Chris Ryan. Erie is a tough place to sell, so it will be an interesting applicant pool. But obviously Ryan proved you can build a consistent contender at Mercyhurst. Team seems to returning a good chunk with AA's Gleason, McCard, Morley and Landymore. So the cupboard isn't bare for the ...
