Amazing diversity at Johns Hopkins, which should only help lacrosse recruiting. Here are the stats for the Class of 2023. :o https://hub.jhu.edu/2019/08/22/class-of-2023-by-the-numbers/ 63% are students of color (including 31% who are Asian) 14% are international students. 54% are women 98% were in...

Posts on The Sabre imply it has started.

Reclassifying is pervasive in the private/prep school lacrosse scene. Athletes often repeat 8th grade before the clock for high school participation years in some leagues kicks in. There is also pre-first in a lot of the private schools. You will often find private school players are one to two yea...

Looks like the Cordish Center won't be alone for much longer.

One rule clarification that could go a long way to ending the need for rules about FOGO substitution would be giving refs a firm definition (for lack of a better term) of what in and when a FOGO's clamp constitutes "withholding the ball from play". When a FOGO has the ball clamped all by h...

Hmmmm, okay, I guess the location of the Ivy League Tournament these past few years was more about New York and Manhattan than about Columbia lacrosse. Attendance these past two years was good (or at least better than when it was hosted by regular-season champ), but not great. How about men's lax a...

Might not have upset 'em if they had put a few more shots on cage. 57 shots for Navy, 28 for the Red Dragons. Hope they turned out to be better navigators than shooters. If I remember correctly DMac, goalie Peter Roy from LI (most of the team was from LI) had a huge game vs Navy. Maybe some Red Dra...

JHU has never emphasized "student health"...as I've said many times before Baltimore and JHU are NOT for everyone... unless I'm totally out of touch with reality students don't go to JHU for the frills....it's a very serious academic place No student, regardless of the level of seriousnes...

Lacrosse became an official HS championship sport in Georgia for both boys and girls a few years ago. There was a discussion back then on Laxpower (RIP) whether this could lead to Ga Tech's moving from MCLA to D-1. This also probably contributes to the number of players from Georgia starting to make...

Here's an interesting Title IX quirk. Many of the top D-1 women's b-ball teams practice each day against male players. Those male players count as females when computing the schools' "athletic opportunities" for each sex, the balanced compliance number each school is trying to reach. Such...

{snip} Well.... He gave us some good info on recruiting. Can anyone confirm when we play Maryland this season? Assume that is a done deal but not positive. The whole schedule is a matter of guesswork right now. There were rumors I heard earlier on that the Cuse game may get moved to later in the se...

Minnesota Florida State Or one of the D2 Florida programs ( Rollins , U Tampa, FL Southern From what I've heard it definitely won't be Rollins. Supposedly, Rollins would rather be D-3 in all sports than D-2, but there aren't enough (any?) D-3 teams in Florida to make it possible. So, they're forced...

{snip} The eye test, from the 1/4 finals on, kind of show that the shot clock added to all being great games. Wasn't the main thrust of adding a shot clock to take the game out of the Refs hands? To be consistent ? {snip} Yes, it was. The argument in favor of starting the shot clock once possession...

Since the women are now ca. 53% of the student body, you're likely to meet one just about anywhere. The 60s and 70s are over, move on.

No 3 strike rule, immediate penalty- sort of like you are disqualified for a false start in Track. Why give them strikes? Or be even harsher, make the FOGO sticks some uniform model for all. They're not immediately disqualified for a false start in track. They have a "2-strike rule" that ...

My one change to make the game a little better and to reward the riding team would be to only allow a single possession by the goalie in the crease per clear. I hate seeing a goalie pass out of the crease to a teammate, and then a D gets in trouble and he sends it back in the crease to the goalie w...

I recently re-watched the end of the UVA-Maryland NCAA tournament game. What a game! What jumped out (again) was Ryan Conrad's ground balls from the face-off wing, UVA forcing turnovers, Maryland trying to run out the clock and dumping the ball, Conrad's scoring and Petey Lasalla's face-off wins. I...
