LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Raba has only played 32 career games, which is incredible given the numbers he puts up every game. He definitely deserves another year. He lost two seasons (2020 and 2021) to COVID and another year (2022) with ACL tear. They should give him two more years in my opion. Hazard has a sixth year if he w...

I think kids should play as long as you can! The real world will be waiting for you for the next 50 years!

Things are looking very good for the NESCAC Champs. With Raba and Giancola both returning, the Cardinals are in great shape. They also return Baily and Burns, plus most of the second midfield back. The entire defense, goalie, all SSDMs, as well as their standout fresh LSM and two top faceoff guys. T...

NCA please let’s get rid of them. Mark Dixon has an announcer. He’s awful and doesn’t really know anything about thendivision two and three players. Can we get someone who knows more about this level. No one cares that he played at Hopkins.

There’s way too much hate for Tufts on this forum. Let’s give them credit. They are an outstanding team that is far more athletic than the teams that won national championships 10 years ago. The styles may be similar, but the athletes and talent on the current roster are significantly better.

To beat Tufts, you need to keep their first group of midfielders and #20 out of the middle of the field. Tufts loves hard hesitation dodge to the middle from #20 and dodge-and-redodge moves from other midfielders for their own shots from the top middle. Protect the middle of the field, or at least h...

If Washington and Lee could play at this pace for 4 quarters they have a shot to win this game. This is the formula to beat Tufts keep scoring. So far, I’m extremely impressed!

Bowdoin got beat up by RIT. Bowdoin had a nice run over last few seasons but they graduate a lot of great players and will need to rebuild with some very good player graduating. #14 Lach Will have to step up he had a really tough day today and couldn’t hit the cage. Lots of junk talking and a few ba...

No disrespect to W&L; they are a good, solid team, but not great. However, they have absolutely no shot tonight. They haven’t experienced the pressure that Tufts will put on them. The level of athleticism is simply different. Tufts will come out hot and dominate early on. A well rested Tufts is ...

This Tufts Championship run could be the easiest path ever. It's hard to believe they went through the first three games without facing a ranked team. That seems almost unheard of for a team with a Pool C bid. That said, I think they will dominate W&L tonight. It seems like Washington and Lee mi...

Enjoy your moment, W&L; it will all be over in less than 24 hours. You're about to get dominated. You've never faced a team like this and won't know how to handle their style. This isn't SU's slow, methodical possessions. Tufts is about to run all over you!

St. John's Fisher has little chance of winning. There's been too much talk about just being happy to be there and playing with house money. You can't win games with that mindset; it's a loser mentality. They will get shelled tonight.

What this weekend told us: St. John’s Fisher is much better than their record suggests and is playing great lacrosse right now. Next opponent, watch out! This was unquestionably the toughest bracket, and Wesleyan caught a tough break facing a super hot SJF team. Obviously, NESCAC remains the king of...

Should we expose you William Smith?

Congratulations on the win, SJF. Unfortunately, you'll be driving back to Rochester tomorrow night. Wesleyan dominated the first quarter and the second half, but a poor second quarter forced them to play catch-up. SJF Enjoy the short lived victory. Tough turnaround to get ready for outstanding St.La...

Wesleyan is just absolutely rolling right now! So many weapons and really They are super tough on defense with an excellent goalie. They completely shut down the Middlebury offense today. This team has something special for sure. Definitely the most unselfish team I have seen play this year, Congrat...

Excited for this upcoming weekend! The Cardinals will play Hamilton at 12:00 pm and Bowdoin vs Middlebury at 3:00 pm. If the games are on the grass field it should it should be electric atmosphere. Wesleyan always packs them in over there. Great to see changing of the guard.

I'm not sure why there are attacks on D’Annolfo, and the remarks from “Ramsfan” about Raba (Wesleyan) are not true. Since you made me do a deep dive since D’Annolfo arrived at Tufts, they have a 6-6 record against Wesleyan, not 3-10. From looking at website Raba has been to four final fours. Absolut...

Wesleyan beat four top 20 teams Bowdoin - Tufts - Amherst - Roanoke. They are definitely a top 10 team.
