Syracuse spends well over $4 million a year on lacrosse.

And with NIL - well, little wonder ACCs et al get all the top 10-15 year after year.

After Nova defeated Denver in the BE semi-final, I was disappointed to see the Hoyas take an 8-1 lead early in the second quarter. The Nova offense was anemic in the first, taking only four shots to Georgetown's 16. As a biased, emotionally attached observer, it did not seem possible Nova could close the gap.

Then one of the season's most underrated SSDM Lucas Kopecky took a pass from Sam Parkinson resulting from a Hoya turnover caused by Reid Colwell on a fast break. Five Georgetown defensemen converged on Kopecky, so conventional wisdom indicated he would feed the ball, but it was obvious he was going to the goal. Kopecky proceeded to basically steamroll 1,000 pounds worth of Hoyas and scored.

It as an inspiring example of one player completely altering the momentum of a game. The stadium erupted and Nova came alive on offense, defense and special teams, scoring nine unanswered goals to take a 10-8 lead at early in the fourth.

Kopecky, who not only got Nova back in stride, also took faceoffs because Nova FOGO Justin Coppola was seriously injured in the game against Brown (a second time by former Coach Daly's squad), and won a key faceoff in OT. Nova didn't get it done, but it was one heck of a game.
