Dickinson will roll. Gettysburg will make this a highlight reel game. Shoreman will come up with a W. I think Swat has learned a few critical lessons leading into conference play. First, slow starts due to rushed possessions is not going to cut it. Watching them push the offense before even getting ...

For a second half team to look so sloppy is not what many expected with so many scoring threats. Lets start with the good. Maston is shifty and deserves the game ball. He looked good and has the right hands and speed to be a first line player. Move Mabbs down maybe. I think chemistry would change fo...

Dickinson has a close D problem. All three of their games had attack in the top 3 scoring goals. Watching them shows slows slides and a tendency to overcommit on north south dodging. I think its as much about pure athleticism vs awareness.

Long season ahead. You seem pretty committed to your placements… Not at all. As I stated above, it goes without saying that teams grow and evolve over a season. This isn’t the ceiling for either of these teams. … My view is you are under representing Eastern which is shading your view of Swarthmore...

Long season ahead. You seem pretty committed to your placements. My view is you are under representing Eastern which is shading your view of Swarthmore. I doubt the placements across most of the rankings will stay concrete. I also think you could take a top 25 and insert it anywhere in the top 15 so...

Tale of two halves. Eastern is a very good team and they moved the ball well. Scored through great feeding for much of the first half. Swat d was slow to adjust to covering behind cage and was cherry picked alot. Swat first half they could could not find a settled offense due to forcing the ball res...

Skidmore and Vassar. Skidmore OOC games are nothing to write home about, They could enter conference games maybe undefeated then we will see. They have always been well coached. Depth could be a problem. If the Vassar administration wants it mens lacrosse could rise. Look at Swarthmore. And , Vassa...

As an alum and biased, I see Swarthmore as not a one and done phenomenon from last year. They were a very young team in 2023. This showed in some of their 1 point games and the 2 away games at Dickinson where they were beaten emotionally as well as physically. That is a tough venue with some "v...
