Quite the Lawrenceville pipeline.

Really nice get and the staff continues to kill it with Lawrenceville

Kid is widely considered to be one of the best offensive defensemen in awhile

I’ve said it before, but the Lawrenceville thing is big. That program will be dominant soon and a pipeline there will be as valuable as any in the country, MIAA schools, Brunswick, St. A’s, Landon, Haverford, anywhere.

too bad he wasn't a 90s nfl player. Chris Berman would've had a field day with that last name on espn. Tyler "The eyes have it".

All of these highly regarded players committing to a D3 program? Weird.

St. Joe's and Utah added to the schedule. Towson is gone. I guess Nadelen didn't want another beatdown? I can't imagine we were the ones who initiated that especially with the game slated to be at Homewood this year. Anyway, all other opponents are the same as last year, with home/away flipped.

2023 Regular Season Home Games:
Delaware, Georgetown, North Carolina, Ohio State, Rutgers, St. Joe's, Utah, Virginia

2024 Regular Season Away Games:
Jacksonville, Loyola, Maryland, Michigan, Navy, Penn State, Syracuse

The espn contract lives another day. Don't think we've ever had a game on espn+ at home. Too bad about towson, don't know what happened there. That game was a huge deal to them. Utah and St Joes are interesting. I guess Bellarmine wasn't available.

They could maybe go .500 against this schedule.

Should that be 2023 Away games?

I was hoping to see Princeton back on. Maybe next season.

Hopkins wanted to end the series in the past but the administration would not along with it for off field reasons. So its possible Hopkins ended it by not renewing the contract. I don’t know the answer but the history is there. Another series it wanted to end was the Hofstra series which was ended.

What are we complaining about? St Joe's takes over Towson's spot which is in some ways an RPI/Quality Opponent improvement if you look at how things went last year. At the very least that is likely a lateral scheduling maneuver at worst. Utah adds a game to the schedule and doesn't replace anyone. Yeah it might be nice to see like Princeton back on there and maybe you could've looked to keep Towson on the schedule instead of adding Utah but save for last year being unseasonably tolerable I'm certainly a little sick of seeing those Tigers on frigid Tuesday nights in February.

Beyond that the schedule is exactly the same list of opponents as last years. And last years schedule was perfectly adequate and challenging...

Exactly. Swapping Towson for St Joe's (a tournament team last year, unlucky to lose to Yale in the first round) makes the schedule more difficult, not less. There are going to be few, if any, more difficult schedules in D1 this year.

Saw a prominent Lax Twitter personality and dad of a Hop alum complain that we aren't playing UMBC and MSM anymore. Some people will complain just to complain. St. Joe's and GTown are massive upgrades on those two and are still relatively local. Hell DC is basically equidistant from Homewood as Emmitsburg, which is in the middle of nowhere. I could take or leave Utah but as Ruffled said it doesn't replace anyone. And it could be cool to get the Jays out in 2024.

I remember when someone in this thread predicted Milliman would soften the schedule. He's done the opposite. In fact there's a credible argument to be made that the schedule now is *too* hard, but the way I see it is if they're not good then the schedule won't really matter anyway. And if they are good then a hard schedule won't be a huge obstacle. So basically just be good.

4-9 in 2021, 7-9 last year, more than fair to to expect an 8-7 regular season/9-8 final record including B1G tournament which with this schedule may be enough for an NCAA berth.

Hoping for good weather Oct. 8 and 16 so HOB can bless us with his highlights. Like Christmas in October.

we should be playing at least one ivy. Forgot Princeton, not sure what happened there. Yes nothing achieved by playing umbc or msm. Towson belongs on the schedule.

Sorry to see Towson go.

The 2021 season of no Ivy Lacrosse threw off the scheduling. Maybe Georgetown and Maryland owe Princeton a home game in 2023. My guess is Hopkins and Princeton will play in 2024. I remember when there were calls to drop Princeton for more competitive teams. Things change. Hopkins will be fine.
