...scumbag fans defending a scumbag. Another shocker on this thread. Pathetic. Who is defending him. I heard people saying, Wait until all the information comes in. But that's a far cry from defending him. His teammates wouldn't have walked away from him if this was all it was. There is more to the...

His teammates wouldn't have walked away from him if this was all it was.
There is more to the story than this statement.

RITs run in the Liberty has been phenomenal, it never happened in the Super Six/E8. The top and middle teams are not pushovers either. Cograts to RIT and coach Coon but it's time for it to end. SLU has the talent to make this weekends game close but boy do they need to take care of the ball. Those ...

Union with another great showing against the Tigers. Engineers had their chances late- anyone watching saw it- tied at 9 and a RIT turnover on the clear led to a 1 on 1 with goalie only to get bailed out by the pipe. A late save by the Union goalie and a 15 yd outlet pass to the defender that didn't...

Loyola is trending and Army/Lehigh have been running on fumes & have looked underwhelming as of late.
Both may have enough left in the tank to limp to the finish line but without a doubt the Hounds are playing with renewed life.

Don't get me started- yes they both got in.
Then they were placed in the same bracket and met up after their first game.

IL opinion piece on who will win each conference. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/our-picks-who-s-winning-the-men-s-di-conference-tournaments-/57821 AS usual, Ty Xanders is dismissive of Hobart.

CT-I think you're right in your assessment. Slim chance they get two from LL- The NCAA needs to expand the tournament- too many teams out there and with AQs taking up most slots it hurts the teams that are part of strong conferences and could make noise in the tournament. On the women's D3 side this...

Yes- there will always be haters but records are meant to be broken Coffman did it playing at Salisbury during a time when his team won two titles and reached the qtrs and semis in the tournament. Arguably against much better competition. As a result he was a 4 time first team AA, 3 time D3 Attackma...

Army with a 100% probability of getting in?
They have 3 losses & 2 were in conference.

LL Tourney seeds are set. Union will have another shot at RIT unfortunately it’ll be in the Semis. The loss to Ithaca puts them in that spot.

Union pushing the Tigers today.

Sadly with this beat down I’m thinking the winner of PLT is the only ticket to the big dance.

Great win for the Hounds over the Hoyas but a better win for the Patriot League.
Lehigh needs to take care of Nova this weekend then an At Large looks like a done deal for someone.

Not sure of how tie breaker works this year, I believe if Saints beat RPI at home this weekend and RIT takes care of Union then SLU would be 2 seed?? Then Ithaca and finally Union? Doesnt seem right. Unions loss to Ithaca could be a real killer, think their the second best team in LL but loss to Bo...

Name a better catch and release person than Hiltz whose played at Cuse.
Answer: None.

Scanlan is currently under investigation for some sort of domestic incident, likely an assault or violence of some kind, and a victim is apparently going to come forward and speak to the DA. I think where he could play lacrosse next year is the least of his worries. How come we’re assuming this hap...

After yesterday's "win", just praying the D3 talk doesn't start back up!! Nah- we really can't hold too much stock in this season. It's been interesting to see a number of D1,D2, & D3 crossover games happen- not sure if that will continue going forward or if it's only a byproduct of t...

my vote would be Hiltz as #22.

I would like to see them put #22 on the backburner until Spallina arrives.
Having that number on the field every year does a disservice to what it stands for.

Does the Navy win today over Army and Cuse over UVA make a Patriot League At Large bud remote? Aside from Lehigh, I can’t see another Patriot team getting in unless they win out.
