Re: UNC 2024
This sums it up: gritty win by UNC players who never gave up on themselves…..great lasting memory on a disappointing season. Inexcusable coaching blunder to be unaware of what it took to guarantee a post season bid. Coaching staff responsible for lack of post season play. Could have reminded the te...

Re: Johns Hopkins 2024
If Hopkins is seeded ahead of Cuse it's because they will have a lot more quality wins. Right now they have 7 to Cuse's 4. Is having three more wins and the higher RPI enough to overcome the areas where Cuse has the advantage? (e.g. the H2H, not having a "bad loss"). Reasonable people can...

Re: Johns Hopkins 2024
IL has denver and cuse over hopkins in bracketology even though all of Hopkins other metrics and stats are better solely because of head to head. More clown stuff. Notion that the top team in the 2nd best conference would be a 5 seed behind a 3rd place team and a conference champ of the 4th best co...

Re: UVA @ Syracuse Sat. 4/20 2 pm
Have complimented Cuse - staff and players - multiple times for returning to prominence, etc this year, but, the daily posts from Cuse fanatics demanding we all genuflect to the mastery of their attackmen is beyond annoying. He's an excellent player, no doubt, and no fair minded fan should say diff...

Re: Johns Hopkins 2024
On Collison, I'll just use this discussion as an excuse the lament the death of the old-school middie. They just don't really exist anymore - there are no Rabils, Harrisons, Curriers (thumb on the ball at the dot notwithstanding), Tinneys, Schriebers, Conrads, let alone Dressels. The game has chang...

Re: Johns Hopkins 2024
Enjoying the moment for now, but it is shocking how much is lost next year. The entire attack and 1st midfield along with almost all of the starting defense will be gone to graduation. That’s … not true. Collison is only a sophomore. Melendez has another year of eligibility if he wants it. I think ...

Re: Duke Fans
Interesting that the Duke offensive strategy can make Michael Sowers and O'Neill into regular players. How does that happen? Their midfield (as a whole) has not been very good since the ~15'....and their midfield roster depth grows each year. It's like Matt is too attack focused or has a hard time ...

Re: Syracuse 2024
Actually, some teams have tried to short Cormier but haven’t had much success with the strategy. Yes… you can have a straight finisher and be fine, if have some dodgers around him. Though UVa ride has suffered, compared to prior Lars teams. Tiernan (Michigan) and Cormier are at the top of the natio...

Re: Syracuse 2024
I am curious with all the midfield depth if anyone sees Leo/Rhoa/Birtwistle sliding down to attack. Spallina already plays the right point on attack, and could play the right wing interchangeably with the 3rd attackmen, leaving Hiltz on the left. My concern for Syracuse would be expecting teams to ...

Re: Syracuse 2024
When was the last time IL'S #1 recruit lived up to the incredibly high expectations or miraculously exceeded those expectations? I would dare say (as a Cornell homer) JEFF TEAT. Who by the way, I now consider at ANY level, the best lacrosse player on the planet. Given that moniker immediately puts ...

Re: UNC 2024
Is UNC really in a rebuilding year? Doesn't seem like they should be, they have a bunch of grad school contributors on the team. Lance Tillman, Logan McGovern, Andrew Tyeryar, Alex Breschi, Andrew Geppart. I think a lot of schools would love to have that kind of veteran experience. It's not like thi...

Sorry to disappoint GRH, I'm not at all hurt by what any of you have to say about Spallina.

Re: Syracuse 2024
Spallina is wildly overhyped. He is a great transition and unsettled player. You get him on the 6 on 6 and he is very ineffective when covered by another teams #1 pole. In todays a case a freshmen pole as well. Syracuse pick play on both sides of the ball wasn’t great and as a result ND was able to...

Re: UNC 2024
Duffy & Petro was 2g on 16 shots. vs HP. For the season some absolutely bizarre numbers 47 goals on 181 shots between the two. We haven’t hit April yet? Two attackman w 181 shots. What is the OC trying to accomplish? You cant live this way. These two certainly are part of the plan but others ne...
