Regional rankings updated. And they now appear to be in ranking order, and not alphabetical. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/lacrosse-men/d3/regional-rankings interesting. with this new info, it starts to give an idea of who could be getting at large. looks like wins is more important than losses. as...

I get the desire to debate this CAC vs LL. Clearly the best conferences in the country where the talent goes deeper to the lower seeded teams than any other conference in the country. Enjoyable to watch all these teams play each other and battle it out for Kings of the North. Obviously Salisbury too...

Another player I’d like to note that goes under the radar is Ollie Bernstein from Bowdoin. While his stats are no slouch, they don’t dominate Bowdoin’s stat sheet. But if you watch Bowdoin play you will see that Bernstein may just be the most impactful player on Bowdoin’s offense. He may not have th...

Feel like people aren’t really noticing how dominant Bowdoin has been playing. They play some serious bully ball on defense. 2 mid week slip ups that certainly don’t look great, but I watched those games and they didn’t look like the team they’ve looked like in other games. Agreed with the previous ...

Teams such as Gettysburg, Lynchburg, CNU, W&L, previously York somehow are supposed to get credit for beating each other. Babson and Endicott are easily as impressive wins as any of those teams have vs each other. CNU over Dickinson = not teams you mentioned playing against each other, and far ...

Bowdoin got man handled by the Babson defense. The Bowdoin defense actually played about as well as they could have with all the possessions Babson had. If it’s any consolation, Bowdoin had a brutal storm over the weekend and lost power and hadn’t practiced since last Friday. I’m thinking no field p...

2024 Nescac season ranking? What teams graduate a lot of talent? I know Bowdoin only graduated 5 guys. 2 of whom were 5th years originally in the class of 2022, and the other 3 who were actual class of 23. The rest of the 23 class is using extra eligibility from Covid to come back next year as 5th ...

Love seeing cocky Casey getting pumped!

I’ve said it once before and I’ll say it again. Laxattackjack is the most useless account on this website. That guy has his head firmly planted you know where. Talk about clueless.

On a separate note. Babson and WNE not looking like bad OOC wins for bowdoin right now…

Bowdoin was top 15 because they started #6. They had a very mediocre year. Bowdoin was ranked in the top fifteen all year because they deserved it. They went 11-5 in the best conference in the country, with four of those losses coming by an average of 3.25 goals against teams ranked #1, #5, and #8 ...

Reading through the last couple pages, we may not all be able to agree on who deserves bids, but I think we can all agree on one thing for sure. Laxattackjack is pretty insufferable. Just read back through all his posts and man is he annoying

I think it's unrealistic to ask Stevie to add more teams to the Classic when they have 10 teams already. Pretty absurd at how fluid the event is when you consider the manpower it must take to put that on. I also don't think it's too much to ask some of these NESCAC teams to schedule some tougher ga...

You all are really over estimating how many good teams there are. Who are you going to start giving at larges to? If only 2 NESCAC teams get in? Hmmm. How can we find another 10-6 team that is 0-5 vs top 20 teams. That might be tough. Here are a few teams that look better than Bowdoin. ODAC has thr...

What’re everyone’s thoughts on mid season nescac rankings at this point? We’ve seen some great games and some odd results here and there. Would love to hear everyone’s opinions

OK - I'll play... 1. Tufts - but a battle with Bowdoin 2. Bowdoin - Amazing turn-around so quickly 3. Wesleyan - nothing to do there but practice... 4. Middlebury - solid solid play 5. Amherst - amazing after troubles couple years ago that they bounced back so quickly 6. Williams - still need defen...

Here we go for 2023: 1. RIT Defending champs who spent last 6 months playing box lax 2. Union Rooting for them to take it all 2022; not sure who’s returning 3. Tufts Mid Ivy team with a coach looking to match up to Mike Daly 4. CNU Coach should be in D I 5. Salisbury Staff weaker than past but if B...

Still not enough talk about a Bowdoin team who again, is bringing back most of their talent and has obviously found a gem in Coach Mason

I got Bowdoin coming out on top of the nescac next year as my early prediction. They’re returning too much talent to pass up on. This season wasn’t a one hit wonder for them, Bill Mason isn’t going away and we will see Bowdoin be a dominant team for years to come under him.

I’d say that out of all of the top 10 teams the one taking the smallest hit with graduation is Bowdoin. They bring back most of their starting lineup and talent. They will be scary next year

Worth noting that Bowdoin was without their head coach Bill Mason tonight and some other key players due to injury and Covid
