It’s not just Cuse. The Terps are 3-0 vs the Top 20, all 3 ACC teams are a combined 2-1.

ACC early scheduling is embarrassing. BE THE BEST means play the best teams.

Cuse played a great game, the team seems much improved. The FOGO was outstanding, he will keep you in big games if he continues to play like last night. Spallina won’t see another pole as good as Zap all season, better things ahead for him. What’s everyone’s opinion on this man down strategy? I can ...

They are accurately ranked at 5 in IL this week. Their O is lethal. But, we all really need to pump the brakes here. We are talking about UVM, Colgate, and a 7 game home schedule. It's nice they are back but I think if they come out and beat UMD by 8, then we really should think they are a national...

Correct 1766. This team will be good. It will not go undefeated. Very likely to win The BIG IMO. Offense will get better. Parts will mesh. Luke will get the Terps opportunities. Mac will stop shots. We will win most GB Stats. There will be many guys scoring this year and some cream will rise. #10 i...

I know everyone is excited. It’s ‘been a week’ since the team had good mojo. But you need to take into account that Colgate doesn’t really have a faceoff unit to speak of. Syracuse was at 85%+ for the game until late, dropping it to 78%. The Colgate coaches decided that they’d play some weird zone ...

In contrast, Duke schedule is super soft

Maryland
Duke
UVA

Rutgers Feb 3 (Sat) 1:00 PM Home Lehigh Feb 10 (Sat) 12:00 PM Away Stony Brook Feb 17 (Sat) 1:00 PM Home Army Feb 24 (Sat) 1:00 PM Away Loyola Mar 2 (Sat) 1:00 PM Home Hofstra Mar 5 (Tue) 3:00 PM Home Detroit Mercy Mar 10 (Sun) 12:00 PM Home Princeton Mar 16 (Sat) 1:00 PM Neutral Umass Mar 23 (Sat)...

If there are 25 players better than Erska at seasons end I would be shocked.

Without any portal attrition, you have 10 offensive players with a lot of experience to fill 9 spots. Siracusa wouldn't come back unless he's playing. So you have Malever, Erksa, Kelly, Koras, Brennan, Maltz, Whittier, Spanos, Siracusa, and Murphy. The Spanos/Whittier/Siracusa combo has a ton of ch...

One guy at SSDM not mentioned is Coffman. A couple years back he was on the verge of being special. 2 knee injuries could hurt but he was a really good player who could return. McPherson (incoming freshman) is Canadian and is pretty highly thought of as well. If we hit the portal I would imagine it’...

Big difference, Klockner is grass, Arlotta w turf. With sport turf I don’t see weather being major factor. The soar thumbs stick out: Nunes is better at home, ND additions Fake & Devlin are big. And, ND just has droves of offensive players that are equally or more talented than MD. This made me...

Like last year with Maryland, I think it’s UVA all the way and everyone else is fighting for 2nd. UVA appears to be a cut above everyone else. Not sold on Notre Dame. They needed 3 OT’s to beat a young Maryland team. UVA will likely manhandle the terps this year like the terps did to them last year...

Maryland D will have their hands full come this Saturday…. Could see the Kavanaugh brothers winning the Tewarraton like the Thompson brothers once did. I really think the two will own their matchups, best attack duo in all of college lacrosse and that is a fact. The duo combines for the most points...

Posted this on a MD site, too, but here's what I heard from someone close to the program who was at the scrimmage. The Terps won 12-7. The Terps are really deep but still looking for an identity. With so much depth, team will get better and better as the season progresses. Long and Maltz didn't pla...

Yes,
and only 3 1st place votes for ND,
IL is slipping.

I had no idea Corrigan had 3 votes

Having watched Colsey live a handful of times he will need to adjust his game…a lot. He has tremendous speed and is a decent shooter. He shoots too much, he’s a volume shooter (think Dylan Pallonetti w better speed) and will have to become a better passer. Does he have top 10 talent, no doubt but he...

Yup

2 elite defenders
Elite goalie
Elite LSM
Elite FO guy
Balanced scoring.

It won’t be easy but a FF trip seems to be the norm. Stay healthy and they are the favorite.

I taped it last night ….but it was the girls. Any replays? YouTube? Where did it play live?

Shellengerger has to be top 5 on this list. In my opinion what’s holding him back…is him. He’s too unselfish. He’s like Bernhardt, he can take over whenever he wants but sometimes he is too deferential to his teammates. Jared kicked that his last year, my guess is Shellenberger will too.
