LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Congratulations to the class of 2024. This years team led by a great group of seniors played with a tremendous amount of heart. They fell just short on Saturday but showed that they belonged in the tournament. I will miss watching them all play. It has been a great chapter in their lives and wish th...

Does anyone have any intel on Stevens? I hear they are good. Big defensemen with an ex D1 goalie and a slick attack unit. Any player in particular to keep an eye on? Here is what I found on lacrossereference.com (I have an account): Roanoke Upcoming Schedule: Opponent: Stevens Date May 11 Adj Off R...

I agree with you on Jay Frye from Roanoke. He was the best short stick on the wing during face offs in the entire ODAC. It seems like once you get on the list as a first or second year it means you are on the list throughout your career even if you plateau talent wise. Guys that have a steady climb ...

Love him or hate him, one thing about Pilat is that he is good at creating a schedule that can get Noke into the big dance. in 2022 they were the last team in as well. This year they have Randolph Macon to thank and also Ferrum. If Ferrum does not cancel their season then Noke would not have had an ...

Do they take into account only ODAC games when they do their voting?

I think the Cards have the best offense. If their D and goalie play well, they can beat anyone. They have a lot of senior/grad leadership and are playing well the last three weeks. Sure there are reasons why other teams could be considered for the third spot but they all have some losses as well.

Great game last night between ‘Noke and Lyn. It got me wondering if there is any chance that the ODAC gets 3 teams into the NCAA Tournament this yr? What scenario would need to happen for that to occur? For example, if a team outside the top 2 seeds gets an upset win in the ODAC tournament, would t...

Quite a game last night between the Maroons and Hornets. It had a bit of everything. I thought the Maroons were destined after their goalie scored but it was not to be. Roanoke still can't win a big game they when they are leading in the 4th quarter. I'm not sure how they can fix it. They just don't...

Like a lot of games, I think this one comes down to specialty positions. Hadley is very good in the cage and has a slight edge over Lewis. Roanoke FOGO is a freshman, he is good, but he is going up against two veterans for Lynchburg. I think the Lynchburg D can handle Noke when its 6 on 6. The Noke ...

My weekly stab at the top 30. This week has a lot of good games on tap that will either show us who is really good or further muddy the waters. 1 Salisbury 2 RPI 3 RIT 4 Tufts 5 Bowdoin 6 Swarthmore 7 W&L 8 Babson 9 St. Lawrence 10 Wesleyan 11 Dickinson 12 Stevens 13 CNU 14 Lynchburg 15 Amherst ...

Roanoke has two big tough games before the W&L game. I think their legs may be weary after playing Lynchburg and Macon. Playing W&L on a Tuesday is one less day of rest for the Maroons. I think W&L will win that game especially if their injured guys are back.

This is not getting any easier. 1 - Salisbury 2 - RPI 3 - RIT 4 - St. Lawrence 5 - Tufts 6 - Dickinson 7 - Stevens 8 - Wesleyan 9 - W&L 10 - Babson 11 - Bowdoin 12 - Swarthmore 13 - CNU 14 - Lynchburg 15 - Amherst 16 - Endicott 17 - Gettysburg 18 - Hamilton 19 - Middlebury 20 - Union 21 - Roanok...

For the original post I included PA and NJ in the South. By my count there are the following number of teams in each region; MD, DE, VA, DC, NC, SC, GA, AL, TN, KY = 38 teams PA + NJ = 53 teams NY + New England = 99 teams Ohio and points west = 58 teams In order to balance out the number of teams wh...

PA and NJ are part of the South. Ohio and beyond is the West.

I have seen in several of the topics discuss the age old question of North vs South and who is better so I thought we could have one site for the debate. This year I count roughly 25 wins for the north vs 14 wins for the south. I tried to stay within the top say 70 teams, I'm sure there are some add...

Huge week in the ODAC as we have a showdown between W&L and Lynchburg. W&L coming off a scrappy win vs Hampden-Sydney and Lynchburg finally breaking the seal versus a top opponent in the country. Both coming off W's but who wants the next one more? 2 matchups that will be key for this game ...

I think there will be a lot more movement in the polls as teams will beat each other up in conference games. 1 - Salisbury 2 - RPI 3 - RIT 4 - Tufts 5 - St. Lawrence 6 - Dickinson 7 - Stevens 8 - Williams 9 - CNU 10 - W&L 11 - Swarthmore 12 - Babson 13 - Lynchburg 14 - Bowdoin 15 - Amherst 16 - ...
