In what will be my last post of the season, here are my thoughts following the Babson game: 1) Obviously a disappointing year as we fell out of the top 20 for the first time in idk how long – that can never happen, as Denison should be a top 15 program nationally week in, week out. Koch as a head co...

False (as usual). If only every Region I team could have just played Christopher Newport (#2 in Region 3) this year, it would have been win after win. Or Swarthmore (#3 in Region 3), or Gettysburg (#5 Region 3). Bottom line Region 1 team are 5-1 against Region 3. Babson or Endicott would have had l...

In years past, Gulls have torn through their side of the bracket and encountered a worthy program in the final. But even in dominant years they've gotten some great tests before that. Noke, Denison, plenty of others have shown out and made them really earn a title berth. They aren't undefeated in N...

so much about this post that i don’t understand. first off, salisbury appears to be the top team. they are undefeated, and should be the favorite. but. they have had a soft schedule compared to others. not sure if that means anything. salisbury has played two top 10 teams (3 games). compare that to...

One year ago, Babson took out Williams in the second round at Tiger Stadium. New opponent but same bus trip, same hotel, same field, same expected result. Babson 16-10. Love this take. Given how many NE players choose Denison - maybe this outcome will also have recruiting implications. Predictions ...

Ridiculous? I think its pretty funny. A couple of Tuft alumni from the Daly era actually brought that up to me last week when discussing the D3 tournament and Tufts odds. I think Tufts is an amazing program I just think the personal social media is a little much. Focus on bringing the trophy back t...

Sorry, but CNU was seven and one. I am not going to tell you what years that my kids played, but that is fact. And CNU is eight and two in the last 10 times they have played them. Before CNU starts talking about dominating teams, let’s highlight how Salisbury is 10-1 against CNU since 2021. Straigh...

Good to see a little back and forth about Denison! Recently I feel like I’ve been “talking to myself”. I think twohands makes some valid points. Particularly about the Koch versions of the Big Red are not you up to the same standards we came to enjoy/expect from Coach Caravana. Especially the 2015 ...

Yes he did - if I were Denison I'd be looking for a quality OC this off season

Alright, F’ it. We’re going full on DIII bracketology predictions ahead of this weekend’s madness – let me know your thoughts: - Salisbury STOMPS Saint Joes – this one isn’t even close as the Gulls are this years team to beat across the board - Swarthmore v. Endicott is a close one but Swat pulls it...

Over on the NCAA Tournament forum I've been saying it all day, but Denison comes to play tomorrow 14-11 and handles the Babson inexperience. Looking forward to watching the Big Red play Babson has 24 Seniors/Graduate students, I'm not sure "inexperience" is something they struggle with. B...

NESCAC first round picks:

- Midd wins 17-8
- Bowdoin wins 15-11
- Wes wins 9-7 in a close one
- Tufts stomps IWU by 15+

Endicott will beat swarthmore this weekend. They are a complete team Week in and week out, whether it was IL, US Lacrosse Mag or USILA, I’d watch Swarthmore climb the ranks and laugh out loud that this program made its way to #3 at a point in time. Don’t get me wrong, very impressive season and to ...

Been a minute ah23. Shaping up for a good weekend of lacrosse. Any games you're looking forward to or have an eye on for upsets?

Pretty Standard at the top... Alot of Northeast prep school kids from Denison and OWU. Have a couple of notes 1). Jack Sload 1st team SSDM is awesome. I have watched alot of NCAC lacrosse and Mike Caravana did an amazing job recruiting this diamond in the rough from the north shore of Chicago. At f...

Back to current season if I will - any thoughts on BigRed's game tomorrow?

All confrence teams are out if anybody wants to check it out. https://northcoast.org/documents/2024/5/8//MLAX_All_NCAC_24.pdf I’m all for spreading the wealth as there are many deserving players worthy of recognition on teams throughout the NCAC. That said, I’m hard pressed to find a single player ...

The Stevenson v. Union game should be an absolute slugfest Saturday. The ‘Stangs led by Cantabene had just about the easiest path into the playoff picture given York’s demise in the conference tournament. They wiped the floor with Eastern but Stevenson’s shaky season has me wondering if they can co...
