CLC 2024

[choochooCharlie]

I know not this year but I’m the coming years. Their other sports are in the C2C. Not sure when it became CLC, or is that just what you guys call it?

CLC is lacrosse only. C2C is something else unrelated.

But being that as it is. I’d like to take a minute to remember the CAC. Without whose demise neither of these 2 entities would be being discussed here.
If the CAC continued to operate, and retained their best teams over the years, it would consist of
Salisbury
CNU
York
Stevenson
Frostburg
Catholic
St Mary’s

Dare I say, best conference in lacrosse?

So what was that about Warren Wilson not being in the C2C??? No apologies necessary. Enjoy your trip to Swannanoa.

They're a member of the C2C, but I never heard that they got an invite to the CLC. None of the teams in the conference have them on the schedule this year

They're not in the CLC, and a lot of the team info is incorrect as well. It's seems they didn't account for grad students returning, went strictly by the class on the rosters.

They are an associate member this year and CLC going forward. Denial is a long river in Egypt.

Unfortunately it looks like River Donkey is correct based on the CLC's handbook on their website: https://coastallaxconference.com/docume ... 4_4_23.pdf

Thanks, but they are not on any of the teams schedules. There has been no talk of this with any of the teams that I know about.

In all seriousness, the handbook states WWC will be joining in 2024. Do they mean fall of 2024 considering none of the conference teams have them scheduled?

It's also strange when you look at their other sports that they don't really schedule other C2C opponents. For instance their basketball program only has CNU on the schedule and no UMW or Salisbury. Just an odd situation all around. I think most of us are just holding on to hope that our teams don't have to drop a quality OOC matchup for this one.

Being serious, I agree with you guys. It makes zero sense.

looks like with the addition of WW Kean should avoid the last-place finish this year, but once again the 3-6 spots are up in the air AS UMW could be better as Kean, Stockton and MSU figure out replacements for the talent that they lost

WW starts in 2025.

Kean doesn’t need to replace much. Transfers from Wagner, Stony Brook and a couple of Cabrini decommits will help bolster the roster. Stockton lost a lot to graduation, and lost a kid that was probably going to start at attack due to injury. Tough conference.

This was kind of brought up in another thread, but I'm interested to get some opinions here:
Would a CLC team be able to make it to the NCAA tournament if they won every game except games against CNU and SU?
So they would be X-3 with losses to the two teams and whichever of those two teams they would play in the CLC playoffs.

I may be bias, but I think all 3 would. IMO Stockton definitely would, it's Kean and UMW that would be more of a debate.

Kean's out of conference schedule is atrocious. Stockton has a pretty decent schedule, but not enough games against teams likely to be regionally ranked for an at large bid without any wins over Salisbury or CNU.

I agree with LaxFan. There are very objective criteria that at large teams are selected on, it is not based on polls or rankings. You need to have the wins over regionally ranked teams. Kean's schedule is laughable. Stockton's is better, but very likely not good enough. Swarthmore is an excellent team, beat them and that will definitely help get a boost in the polls but that is still only counts for one ranked win. They have maybe one or two other possibilities on there and if they run the table outside of SU and CNU it is possible but still not likely.

Swarthmore lost to Grove City in the tourney last season, so easy with the applause for Swarthmore.

As far as Kean's OOC goes, you're 100% correct....it's weak, but it's better than last seasons. Picking up Ursinus, Oneonta, and playing 2 very good teams in Maritime and Skidmore will not be easy. Not enough good teams to go around.

[pcowlax]

Ursinus finished 7-8 last year playing a fairly tough schedule, Oneonta 7-7 vs a poor schedule. Neither was anywhere close to a ranking last year and are unlikely to have one this year (neither were Skidmore or Maritime for that matter). If they want to compete for a spot in the tournament without winning the conference, that schedule is not going to do it.
