Generals put it all together this evening, kudos to all on the defensive side of the ball. De Cain had another good outing and Spano once he got warm denied Roanoke the ball, winning 17/25 at 68%. Not all face offs are the same and when Roanoke had a little run he went on a roll. Winning to himself...

What did the Shenandoah do to Roanoke to piss them off?!? I was checking box scores and Roanoke took 83 freaking shots! Is that normal for these ODAC games with top tier playing lower tier? Very nomal for Pilate to pull a dbag move like that. When you have rosters of 50+ and the kids at the bottom ...

Dickinson 1-1
Hamilton 1-1
Lynchburg 1-1
Stevenson 1-1
York 0-2

It looks like the higher ranked team won every game on Fri and the lower ranked team won every game on Sat.

Hoping for a rebound performance this weekend for my guys! Couldn't finish against a much more experienced and senior laden team in Dickinson. Hope all comers enjoy this weekend at the Classic! I will be in attendance! The DIII lacrosse community owes Stevenson a debt of gratitude for putting this ...

Really excited for this event.

I think the USILA does a pretty good job of it. I thought it was interesting that about half of the teams in the top 20 don't have any 5th year covid (Grad Student) players. It will be a big change for some of these teams next year to be without them. 1) Salisbury: 8 Grads 2) Tufts: none 3) RIT: 8 G...

Too bad Salisbury is not in this field to play Tufts and RIT That's on Cantebene man. You won't catch Berkman leaning into anything that gives him/Stevenson shine. Right or wrong. What’s the backstory there? I seem to recall that when Stevenson was National Champion and had fireworks and huge infla...

Last year, CNU lost the first Salisbury game 16-8. I have no doubt that they will bounce back from this Tufts loss just fine. Did they? Bouncing back would mean competing for a win atleast 1 of the 3 times. The overhype of this team is due to the fall off of Lynchburg, W&L, and Stevenson. These...

Lacrosse Reference has a summary of the game:

Roanoke is important to the overall health of the ODAC. They need to be a top 20 team as does HSC, W&L and Lynchburg. Nice to see Randy Mac continuing to improve. The landscape is changing under the feet of Roanoke, Lburg and HSC. Great programs w great history but CNU is slowly and steadily be...

wow. so many good games this week. too many to list. And the NESCAC finally starts playing. here are a few that i will be watching the three big ones. lynchburg vs Salisbury RIT vs York Amherst vs Middlebury some other good ones Denison vs W&L Roanoke vs Dickinson. St Lawrence vs St. john Fishe...

I saw a cryptic post that the commentator said something about a Lynchburg fan. Anyone have any details?

If no change at the battle of the ‘Burgs, then we will all get to give the 2 best games of the week our full attention.

Gettysburg vs Lynchburg moved to 2pm.

Any word on RIT preseason? They don't have roster up yet for 2024... Roster is up now. Very senior and graduate student heavy 8 Grad Students for RIT. Many from private high schools, so they likely started college with an additional year of experience. It's probably what it will take this year to c...

Lynchburg has 7 Grad students while Gettysburg has none. Gotta go with Lynchburg.
