From the always-good @DIIIlacrosse on Twitter:
“Whispers all year about Salisbury’s schedule being sneaky weak. They played zero games against the Top-9 in the Laxpower ratings. Season is now over and they still haven’t played one.”

Us old timers know D-III.
He was great on LP, amazing ability to predict tourney field, learned a lot from him. And he is right, Salisbury’s schedule was soft. Certainly doesn’t mean they could t have won the NC, I thought they would, but nothing good comes of not playing any challenging games.valaxfan wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 7:34 pmUs old timers know D-III.

being shelled if down 8-1 counts as a shelling. This could get ugly.
W&L definitely better than SJF, Tufts MUCH more battle tested than Salisbury, they will win this by 12+ if they want.Laxattackjack wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 8:07 pmthey said the same about W&Lpcowlax wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 8:05 pmNot going to happen here.

When you are 22~0 everyone brings the A game. The same thing happened to Tufts last year. Salisbury clearly did not know how to deal with W&L run and got clobbered at X. The goalie for WL made some really good saves.YCOLaxFanSU wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 7:22 pmI'm one of those Salisbury faithful and I was definitely not crowning them yet, thought I didn't think they would lose this one. If you look earlier in this thread you will see that I felt Tufts would be fired up to play the Gulls again but that Salisbury shouldn't look past W&L, which I guess they started to do midway through the 2nd quarter.The salisbury faithful where crowning them champs already
This is a rough one. As I mentioned I wasn't really able to watch but W&L seemed to start winning every face off and scoring right away. One moment that sticks out to me is in that 2nd quarter I get pumped to see on the Live Stats that Jude Brown has scored to make it 10-5 with a couple minutes left in the half. Then I see Penalty:Jude Brown Unsportsmanlike Conduct...and then another W&L goal.
As I mentioned, I'm surprised that there was no timeout called in the 3rd quarter during that onslaught but the timeouts were used well in the 4th quarter so what do I know.
This one is going to hurt but congrats to the Generals!
Agree - Everyone was giving then a hard time because of their loss to Hamilton but he was able to get them to refocus snd they have blown teams out since that lose. Sometime a loss can make you hungry and the boys from boston are hungry.
I wouldn’t exactly say “entire”!! The TDS haters yes!! Roll Bos!Laxattackjack wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 8:01 pm the entire lacrosse community cheered with excitement when W&L scored that winning goal. now the entire lacrosse community is cheering for SJF
RIT lost Liberty League Championship for first time since they joined. A bit of a chip on their shoulder.
This might be one of the easiest routes to the final four I’ve seen. Couple of upsets bailing the jumbos outThe12lov3 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 10:32 pmAgree - Everyone was giving then a hard time because of their loss to Hamilton but he was able to get them to refocus snd they have blown teams out since that lose.

Good Luck to the rest of the teams still playing. Whoever wins it deserves it.
Quick turnaround for Tufts as well. But since I am not the lacrosse God, I won’t attempt to predict anything.Leonard Washington wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 12:11 am Great win for Washington and Lee.
With this quick turnaround, the question is, will they have anything left in the tank to slay another beast? Jumbos by 6...
Tufts 17
W&L 11
