LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Dangel is stepping down at Oglethorpe. Would like to see them succeed, but it looks like they only have 20 players on the roster and 12 of them are seniors + grad students. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a roster like that.

I wouldn't say the better overall team always wins, but the better team that day does. Salisbury was a better team overall than W&L, but the gap between them was much smaller than everyone assumed. With the benefit of hindsight, I would argue that the same is true for 2024 Salisbury when compare...

Calling the top middie on perennial power like UVA a 'bit player' is just a longer way for someone to say they know they're wrong but they never learned the life skills to deal with those situations graciously.

Making up personal attacks about coaches and players on the W&L board, getting called out for it, then running to a different board to make things up about a different target is not a good look.

Congrats to W&L on a great season! Pulled off the biggest D3 upset in years against Salisbury, and were right there with Tufts with 15 minutes to play but just didn't have that extra gear. Hope they can keep this rolling next season.

Who has the hardest pod & who has the easiest? I think if Salisbury weren't a big favorite over the majority of the field we would say they got a tough draw - - three combined losses between the Gulls, Endicott, and Swarthmore. Tufts/Union/Stevenson could all advance out of that pod and it woul...

But Stevenson is and has been the standard in the conference well before York entered it. Half true, the standard changed when York joined the conference. They have no one to blame but themselves for this season (did they not take Eastern seriously? Were they just that flawed of a team? who knows),...

Correct me if I’m wrong - don’t Denison and OWU each only have one regionally ranked win right now? Why would either team be projected to get an at large bid?

Everyone knows which team has the better offense, the scoreboard really needs to throw its feelings and bias out the window right now.

No moral victories, but...great performance from WAC. Completely shutting down Jude Brown (0/0) is really impressive.

Keep an eye out for Gettysburg-Muhlenberg, has been a great series recently. Mules won in 2021, then Gburg won three games in 22-23 by a total of 5 goals.

You all are being patient here...this guy's schtick is fanboying while saying anyone who disagrees is emotional and biased. Rivalry obviously starting to heat up! Should be a fun pair of games this season with the AQ as important as it is, no real dog in the fight and always enjoy watching this from...

Toughen up and take the good with the bad. The NESCAC has been great for so long, and some of the fans (including here), coaches and sidelines haven’t been modest about it. This is a #downyear, and some of that which was sown, now must be reaped. I don’t care to dance on the NESCAC’s proverbial gra...

personal opinions ≠ 'the truth'...

Can someone make an argument for Bowdoin to even be included in the top-20 at this point, that doesn't start with them being ranked top ten in the preseason? Sure! Two good wins, no bad losses Endicott was a bad loss, period. Endicott is 8-1, only loss to Union by 2. #20 by Massey, #9 by Laxpower. ...

My son watched the game and said that the Berry goalie -- who I gather is a transfer from Oglethorpe -- was just outstanding. The box score credits both teams with nine saves, but evidently the Berry keeper made some high quality stops to help hold down the Colonels. Berry's athleticism always seem...

CNU has a great staff, they’ve had some tough games this season but they’ve been hovering around the top five for a few years. One of the few teams to beat Salisbury. Might be a funky couple of losses, but if this were the standard for coaches getting canned there wouldn’t be any coaches left.

I see people talking about Liberty League teams and their resumes by talking how they did vs different teams, some nescac some not. Maybe you meant to quote something else, maybe those individuals are just right about you

Glad to see that Rhodes got rid of their PPV broadcasts and is free to watch like everyone else, never understood the point of doing that.
