"Catholic University has dismissed its men's lacrosse head coach, Brooks Singer, following a University review of the management of team finances, including solicitation, documentation and handling of donor funds." Wow. You don't see a statement put out like that every day. Especially abou...

Going into the season, the feeling was Steven's would likely come out on top, with a possible challenge by Eastern and maybe DeSales. DeSales had some bad losses and Steven's didn't quite live up to the threshold they have set for themselves in recent years. Having said that my GUESS is that it wou...

Not for nothing, but Lycoming and Arcadia are joining the MAC Freedom next year, making it a 9 team conference. What will that do to the out of conference schedules? In particular Stevens who OOC includes Salisbury, Williams and Tufts for starters. Pretty sure it was an 8 team conference last year,...

Just being honest w the sim. Irelan for Cornell is not v good. It’s a malaise of the brother etc. He simply doesn’t see D1 shots very well. I mean maybe he wasn't having a great start to the year (just over 40%), but he is definitely a solid goalie. Last year as a freshman he won the starting job a...

@HopFan16 - Great info. Some comments/questions: - Curious how Utah gets 223% capacity of their stadium? - I am surprised more people don't go to UNC games. Their stadium looks excellent and they were undefeated. - Why does Duke not get more attendance? To answer the Utah question, looks like they ...

For the sake of banter; your 10 St Lawrence, and 11 CNU. Were these based on watching them play and seeing a particular strength? (asking because I didn’t watch much of either team) St Lawrence has 3 games under their belt. Potsdam, Cortland, and Geneseo. (Cortland being the only nationally ranked ...

DeepPocket: With a loss to a WNE team that you don't have in your top 25, was putting Wesleyan at 13 an oversight? Also, did you forget to remove Bates? Or do you still think that are a top 25 team at 1-5? Yes, I will admit very little time was given to these last rankings. For that I am sorry. How...

First and foremost, I just want to say that I am not trying to question anyone's lacrosse knowledge or make fun of their picks. Rather, I'm more interested in hearing why people have certain teams way above or way below I have them. The truth is I'd rather spend time debating rankings than thinking ...

My apologies for missing the submission of the top 25. I'm going to post my rankings here now because with all this free time, I want to debate where other people have teams in their rankings and I don't think it's fair for me to question others without posting my top 25 for others to challenge. 1. ...

Swarthmore opens against #17 (coaches) Stevens. Have to imagine the Garnet are comfortably the underdogs, but season openers are always weird. I'd expect an impartial spread would be around +5.5, but I'm hoping for a close-fought battle and potentially a big upset to get the year off on the right t...

With a few of the teams starting their game schedules next weekend, does anyone know of any scrimmages that have taken place or will this upcoming weekend for the LL teams? Excited for the season to start and to see how the programs stack up

Read in the Centennial Conference thread that both Stevens and DeSales scrimmaged Muhlenberg. The post said that muhlenberg beat DeSales 9-3 and Stevens 11-4 which shocks me. anybody have any insight into if starters were playing for both stevens and desales? Viper and laxrules, looks like you two a...

Was that Muhlenberg starters vs Stevens backups? Surprising score. If that was starters vs starters I think I want to take back my statement about the Stevens vs Swarthmore game being a 6-8 goal difference

Huge fan of the forum poll. Really enjoy these as everyone brings different opinions to the finished puzzle. Some of these teams I may be overlooking but I didn't even consider for my list (Rhodes, Western New England, SUNY Maritime, Colorado College, Muhlenberg, St. Mary's (MD)). Also a fan of look...

Tough one today. Anybody watch the game? Looks like Christman had a good day. Very young on offense, how did Perfetto look?

Conference continues to bleed. RIT, then Ithaca, now Stevens. Kueka joins next year. 1) St. John Fisher - Took down the Ducks in the championship, won an NCAA game, very young team, Top 15 finish I think 2) Nazareth - I hope they can return to what they once were. Had some solid young talent on offe...

Predictions: 1) Stockton - Class of the conference. Wish they scheduled OOC tougher although it is improved this year 2) Montclair State - Should continue to improve with Poskay - - - Gap - - - 3) Kean - Not sure if they can catch up to 1&2, I think more balanced than Bryn Athyn 4) Bryn Athyn - ...

Prediction: 1) Stevenson - could get interesting next year with York joining. But not this year 2) Messiah - Really like how Coach Bulus schedules his OOC games 3) Lycoming - Need to replace Goalie but pretty sure they have a good amount back offensively 4) Arcadia - Return everyone but a defenseman...

“ Can Babson rebound from it's losing season in a decade”... [/b] Babson got what they deserved!! Let go a proven winner as a coach and that is the result. 9 year previous the winningest record in program history. Dismiss coach and losing record in year 10. SMH!! :roll: :oops: I agree they shouldn'...
