DeeThreeLax.com has a pre-season top 35 poll and the top 20 is consistent with the IL poll (Williams and Cabrini being the only ones shown in one top 20 poll and not the other) Surprisingly, DeeThreeLax did not include more NESCAC teams (which will annoy Connor Wilson who already feels the NESCAC sh...

Inside Lacrosse has just released their preseason top 20 and we have some good ODAC representation with W&L at 7 and Lynchburg at 10. Would like to see if Roanoke and Hampden-Sydney can make some noise and jump into the top 20. Only got a few more weeks to go! Not sure how Inside could rank W&a...

Looks like Ferrum has forfeited their games for the season. Unfortunately I think the program is finished - if that has already been covered here my apologies. I did notice that Ferrum appears on some schedules with a forfeit, so they made an attempt to play this season but couldn't do it I presume...

So is the 2/1 Olglethorpe vs Shorter really the 1st game of the season?

I don’t think when they go to any of these recruiting camps or tournaments what state anyone comes from has anything to do with it. At some tournaments in Maryland you could have 9-10 teams from in state and 40 plus from out. You just want to see the kids who are on your radar and more importantly ...
