PSU graduate - Quinn Nicolai - looks very good for Temple and has been named a captain. A grad transfer to Temple, Nicolai could have stayed at PSU for this season, but left. I think that and other transfers out of PSU speak volumes about the coaching staff.

Ivy League is heading down an unfortunate, disheartening and misguided path . . . Princeton and Cornell have moved classes online and cancelled some sporting events: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2021/12/15/cornell-university-online-suspects-covid-omicron/8905152002/ https://www.syra...

Thanks for posting. So far, the only other DI women's lacrosse schedules I've seen posted are for: Princeton: https://goprincetontigers.com/sports/womens-lacrosse/schedule Manhattan: https://gojaspers.com/sports/womens-lacrosse/schedule High Point: https://highpointpanthers.com/sports/womens-lacross...

Anne Murray - Associate HC at Fairfield - named new women's lacrosse head coach at Columbia. While long overdue, Murray appears to be a good hire.

An example of the low priority that the Ivies place on athletics, particularly women's athletics, is the fact that the Columbia HC position has been open since Andrea Cofrin's "resignation" on March 9, 2020. A number of women's D1 lacrosse programs have had resignations/firings followed by...

Addition by subtraction. Good riddance

I'm sure this has been answered, but why aren't the Big 10 men's team playing opponents in back-to-back games over the same weekend the way that the women's team are?

Unfortunate, but not a surprise. Ivy League cancels all conference competition and leaves very small window open for out of conference competition https://www.uslaxmagazine.com/college/men/report-ivy-league-cancels-all-springs-sports Even if an Ivy League school were permitted to have out of confere...

Ivy League just informed its student athletes that Ivies will not compete in any winter sports, fall sports will not be made up in the spring, and spring sports (i.e. lacrosse) are postponed until at least the end of February 2021

Some positive perspective from the new head of the NJSIAA - Colleen Maguire. Quality person, who is a refreshing change in leadership

LarryGamLax - I thought the best "pay to play" club in the area was Agnes Irwin

Dr Tact - I think PANJlacrosse is looking to start a debate (war?) He/she clearly has an issue with a certain club team.

Things are not looking good for the Ivy League.

4 seniors returning to Virginia Tech for extra year

https://hokiesports.com/news/2020/5/21/ ... ogram.aspx

That being said, if any current spring sport Ivy League student can graduate this year or in the next three years, and then transfer to another school for a graduate year with athletic money - that would make sense.

With no athletic scholarship money, I have a hard time believing that many (if any) spring Ivy League athletes would take advantage of another year of eligibility, if available. Fall sports are completely different. For those Ivy athletes that currently do an extra year (bc of a medical redshirt) th...

I know a lot is going on today, but I was very surprised to see Virginia Tech lose to Brown 13-11. Did not see the game. If anyone did, I'd be interested in observations/analysis.

livelovelax - Let's keep the commentary here to the impact and potential impact of the coronavirus on women's lacrosse. Shame on me for starting the thread and believing that it could be used as a forum to keep each other informed on the impact on lacrosse and that it would not devolve into politica...

Middlebury has announced it is suspending all spring sports until further notice and Tufts just cancelled the rest of the regular season for their spring sports. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/nescac-season-in-jeopardy-as-tufts-middlebury-halt-spring-schedule/56141 I realize that this is a D...
