It's hard to pick against Towson and Delaware, as they've been a notch or two better than everyone else in conference based on scoreboard and eye test. But Drexel had an 11-10 Q4 lead vs Towson in regular season. And Fairfield had a 5-3 Q2 lead over Delaware (before getting outscored 11-1 the rest of the way....) So, fingers crossed we could see the underdogs give it a run!

A Towson-Delaware final would be another coin toss.

Conference awards will be announced Wednesday. Predictions?

Offensive POTY: DeMaio (Towson)? Robinson (Delaware)? Other?
Defensive POTY: Barsz (Towson) or Ellington (Delaware goalie)
ROTY: McCurry (Delaware middie) or Radossich (Fairfield LSM)
Coach: Baxter for getting Fairfield to playoffs and 5-2 conference mark? Or Nadelen for winning conference?

Surprises/complaints?

Surprising to see Robinson (Del) and Ford (Ffd) end up 2nd team, but the league only does 3 A. You could call Pallonetti an A/M (he plays so much above the cage) and move one A up, which would create a spot on 2nd team for Nick DuPuis (SB).

Also: would be nice to see some SSDM love on the list.

No complaints. I would say Ellington locked DPOY w his Friday night game vs Towson . Weishaar will receive the highest All American honors in the conference. Probably 2nd or 3rd team. Palloneti plays like Ryan Tierney, left side wing shooter. Petramala @ UNC also plays similar to Tierney. College Lacrosse landscape will change immensely in 25’ , but that’s a offseason discussion.

Article from the Baltimore Sun on Nick DeMaio,

“ Nick DeMaio underwent ‘maturing process’ in transition from finisher to feeder for Towson men’s lacrosse “ ——>

IL article on the Hen's Kurtz brothers,

" Tye had committed to High Point University in Grade 10 but ultimately decided that wasn’t right for him, and Delaware University was. Delaware was very interested in having both Tye and Reed on the team and was going to work with them to make sure that they had as much time to play together as possible.

Tye opted to postpone the beginning of his collegiate journey in the States and picked up a factory job "

I would have put Chase Patterson on the first team. He led the CAA in both FO winning percentage (15th nationally) and ground balls per game (5th nationally).

agree, and what about Roselle he had a grt yr at the pole

good luck watching today's games on Lacrosse TV. Absolute garbage.

No sound - just turn on the vid, put on mute, and tune into Tigers radio - they are good commentators.

Villagomez has picked up his game.

6-2 Tigers,

Tigers not really having many problems.

Drexel's stick work is better than usual,

but Tiger's defense, Luke Downs - Tiger commentators make a good point on Drexel offense not aggressive, but Tiger's have something to do with that - 7 to 2 Tigers with final possession of half.

Not much happening,

I'll just repeat (sort of) - I've seen much worse from Drexel this year, game is still not close though.

Tigers break it open,

Colby Barz' solid defense continually being called out by commentators, and rightly so.
