LaxPower Back-Up Stick

I wouldn't say the better overall team always wins, but the better team that day does. Salisbury was a better team overall than W&L, but the gap between them was much smaller than everyone assumed. With the benefit of hindsight, I would argue that the same is true for 2024 Salisbury when compar...

Looking forward to a close game until the 4th qtr when the Canadians pull away. Lots of talent on both teams, maybe a little more balance with RIT. Looking for 34 goals to be scored

Question is where does W&L go from here. For now I’ve just totally enjoyed the season. Hoping to watch a great match with RIT beating Tufts tomorrow. There will be time enough for future assessments. Bottom line the future looks bright in Lex !

I think the Generals may have opened up a debate
. I particularly enjoyed the 22-1 photo

First I want to preface this question that I have by saying I am someone who has a lot of respect for the Gulls program, and in particular Coach Berkman. Amazing he’s won national titles in each of the last 4 decades. I had a conversation with a good friend today who’s an avid lax fan when I posed ...

meeting earlier. and seeing how tufts had trouble with a southern team. RIT had a lot more weapons than w&l. oh. and let’s not forget, RIT is the first team tufts will face that wasn’t an upset stevenson upset Union SJF upset St Lawrence W&L upset Salisbury. and before the tufts cult has a ...

I'm not going to say the current vote count so as not to influence other voters but 11 have voted and... Interesting. Might be due to their meeting earlier in the year. I voted RIT, my thinking is they are slightly more balanced overall as a team. Like the RIT coach in this spot. Wild card is regne...

Interesting hadn’t considered that. Back to back games for a final four does seem just a little extreme. I’m sure it’s all about the dollars.

Congratulations Generals, like Coach McCabe said “ we’re not happy just to be here.” In the end, you were rode hard and put up wet. Playing Salisbury and Tufts back to back in 24 hours,I’d really love to see who could have pulled that off. After the Salisbury win and in the manner it was done I don’...

Thank you Ah23. Salisbury won’t go D3 I think all the teams would have to go D1. Maybe I’m wrong

Aside from possession issues in the second half Brown never touched the ball. I don’t get it. I agree 100%. You are the leader of that Offense. Go demand the ball go through you. That’s what great players do. Not disappear when you need possession during a 9-1 run. Brown is a great player. Last yea...

tough loss today. Credit W&L for not throwing in the towel when they got down early 8-1. This Gulls team had a tendency to start fast then kinda lose focus and coast thru some games. Today it was bad penalty after bad penalty , a faceoff tandem that looked visibiliy frustrated, and Washington &...

The kid continues to amaze me. He goes up against one of the best fogo’s in D3 and instead of just holding his own goes 20 of 33 for a 60% win rate. He kept Salisbury from going on a run. Yes I know it was 8-1 at one point but that had nothing to do with him. Of the 20 face offs he won 13 or 65% of ...

Do you believe in miracles !
One of the truly historic victories down 8-1 against an undefeated Salisbury cruising toward a record breaking 14 national title. Spano MVP!

I don’t know much about the nitty gritty of any of this. But if this team has sustained tons of injuries and still gotten this far I’d say they’re pretty gritty. If they’ve rallied back from a bad Stevenson loss and 4-3 start to have a 9-0 ODAC record. Rallied after a disappointing performance agai...

I’ve been waiting 3 years for CNU to win it all. 10 years ago I was of the opinion that being a state school, tuition, facilities and waterfront location, and weather, that it had a lot of attributes similar to Salisbury. All they need was to add a good coach and stir. If they don’t do it this year ...

Dehunt, Speaking of AAs, I was just told by USA Lacrosse that Alex Brown’s 70 goals were not enough to even be considered for honorable mention because he had only 3 assists, his goal total was good for 19th, and his point total was 179th in D3. I’m sure he would trade it all for a victory vs Salis...

Spano is your guys key for an upset. He has the ability to take over a game and he’s been the best freshman in the country IMO. If he can help you guys play make it, take it, then the genies will have a punchers chance. Spano is good, but the difference was the wing play. That was evident after the...
