Greyhounds looking dangerous!

Also got a barnburner in Hamilton, NY. Upstate rivals Binghamton at Colgate tied at 13 entering 4th.

That's how to hang in there and get the shot

Don't know why Md. got the ball at the beginning of OT2 as opposed to having a draw. The green card was before the end of OT1. I understand that the card carries over, but why no draw? Maybe this isn't analogous, but if a team gets a card at the end of a period (or under the old rules, a half), the...

Clearly a moving pick that was a missed call. Scane is moving prior to any contact by the defender. Does the reader base of a women's lacrosse forum really not know that there's no such thing as a "moving pick" in women's lacrosse? There's no such foul. The picker is allowed to be moving ...

Interesting to observe Scane's ambivalence about the pick in the aftermath as she relates her thoughts to Coykendall. On the defenders part--gotta keep your eyes open. (I wonder if any of her teammates gave her a heads up in the seconds beforehand.) That's Cheryl Miller for levity at the end. Big s...

I just had a chance to watch UVA vs. Stanford. Some early season stuff (as would be expected) but UVA looks like a different team to me. And they are YOUNG ... 6 freshman saw meaningful minutes on attack and midfield and were aided by 2 sophomore starters on defense and a sophomore GK who made 12 s...

Solid start for the Eag's.

Programming note--the Albany game moved to Wed 14th due to impending weather.

I wonder of Alecia N might be on a 'pitch count' as she recovers from thyroid surgery?

Yikes...Brooklyn Walker-Welch, Marissa White, Chloe Humphrey...all out for the season with lower body injuries.

How did the scrimmage go?

Agree that NU will face some adversity this season. If so, I could very well see Max's scenario playing out in the form of a goalie controversy. Along those lines, M Doucette holds Northwestern to 10 goals. At least one 6th year will be diagnosed with osteoporosis after falling and breaking a hip. N...

ACC teams that are home on Feb 10th....Clemson and Virginia Tech. I think the first game is due to the opening of the new stadium down on campus. Nice celebration of investment in women's sports and womens lacrosse more importantly. Basketball takes friday night on the ACCN so that eliminates Notre...

Great summary of the offense. Are you working on the defensive summary now?

Sheesh! Gimme a sec (honey), I'll get to it.

BC Season Preview In ’23, BC season required adjustments as they developed a new identity following the departure of another legend. Wouldn’t have been shocking if BC had a down year but experience, character and culture carried them through adversity to the final weekend again. Let’s look forward t...

I find the complete Stanford snub notable. Particularly Annabel F - fan or not, pretty impressive stat line. Just think if she was listed as a midfielder. One example of the point made on this forum many times (with which I agree) that the top middie spots on these lists should be reserved for playe...
