Riding the high of winning a roller coaster of a game today. Last time these two teams met in the Tourney it was a 19-4 drubbing at Belo.
Love this old school rivalry getting renewed. Hoping for a competitive game and hoping our guardian angel can help us pull one out tomorrow. Best of luck to the Jumbos!

Not making excuses, just something to think about.
This is my kind of analysis, keep it up Retro Chode.

Re: NESCAC
Agreed. No way around it, that is an incredible choke job by Wesleyan. None of them had played in the NCAAs before and it showed, while SJF was ready. Probably the biggest upset of the season in the power ratings.ah23 wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 6:07 pm Didn’t watch any of the game, but St. John Fisher is not very good this year - that is a huge upset. So much for what would have been a very interesting St. Lawrence-Wesleyan matchup with two completely different styles. Will have to wait until the QFs against Tufts.
Related…does this impact hosting for next weekend, or was Wesleyan like just hosting for the first weekend anyway?
It doesn’t impact the host for next weekend. All the winners tomorrow are going to Salisbury (assuming the Gulls win).

Re: NESCAC
Looks like the boys from Lesbyan weren’t well rested after sleeping in tents for the past two weeks.
Roll jumbos.

Re: NESCAC
Congratulations on the win, SJF. Unfortunately, you'll be driving back to Rochester tomorrow night. Wesleyan dominated the first quarter and the second half, but a poor second quarter forced them to play catch-up. SJF Enjoy the short lived victory. Tough turnaround to get ready for outstanding St.Lawrence team. Not going to happen again tomorrow there isn’t left much left in SJF legs.
Prediction: St. Lawrence 14 - SJF 7
It's remarkable to think that after tomorrow night, only eight teams will remain. Personally, I'm not a fan of this NCAA format.

Re: NESCAC
I agree. I miss the old format. I’m sure it cost the NCAA more money back then, but tournament was much longer. I love the midweek games and it doesn’t matter for the players because they’re done with classes. The fact that there are so many games in the first couple days to then end up with the 8 Teams who will really compete for the championship makes the other teams more of an afterthought.
Re: NESCAC
A small part of me likes the summer tournament feel it brings, but overall…yeah, it leaves a lot to be desired. No time to enjoy a win, no time to prepare for an opponent, etc.

Re: NESCAC
is the Saint John Fisher vs. St Lawrence game on the "Lesbyan" NESCAC Champions Cow Field or the turf today?
How embarrassing!!! If I was a New England kid I would seriously look elsewhere than the Nescac.

Should we expose you William Smith?
Re: NESCAC
Being openly homophobic to celebrate your kid’s team winning a lacrosse game is certainly a choice.
Re: NESCAC
In actual lacrosse news, ownership of the Big Game Bob nickname might have to transfer from Robert Horry to Robert Hobbs. Unreal game between the pipes for Bowdoin.

Re: NESCAC
The down year for the NESCAC continues as Midd, Bowdoin and Tufts coast to the Quarterfinals, all playing on the road. Yes, only 3 of the final 8 teams in D3 are NESCAC teams.
Middlebury’s horrible year season in particular just won’t end.

Imagine what they might have accomplished this year if they had played a more challenging out of conference schedule.SouthieLax wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 4:56 pm The down year for the NESCAC continues as Midd, Bowdoin and Tufts coast to the Quarterfinals, all playing on the road.

Re: NESCAC
I love how the everyone though the Liberty League was so great this year. Both Bowdoin and Tufts are playing with Chips on their shoulder. I was the first one to be a critic of Bowdoin but like all the NESCAC teams, when they play their best, they can beat anyone.

Re: NESCAC
I thought they were the top conference at the beginning also but as the season went on and started watching games, it looked like there was a lot of overhype.Granted I was comparing to the NESCAC but what this demonstrates is how good the competition is in the NESCAC. Top to bottom NESCAC is still king.

Re: NESCAC
Top 3 conferences’ champs are out. Gotta show up every game. But in the world of statistics, water always finds its level. 38% of the last 8 teams remaining come from NESCAC. ‘Cac has been, is, and will continue to be King.The12lov3 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 5:14 pmI thought they were the top conference at the beginning also but as the season went on and started watching games, it looked like there was a lot of overhype.Granted I was comparing to the NESCAC but what this demonstrates is how good the competition is in the NESCAC.
