It's official, the Premier Lacrosse League has finally hitched their teams to cities (and regions) and I'm officially a New York Atlas fan. Glad to get to root on my favorite PLL player, Jeff Teat (and company) and I hope this causes me to become as addicted to the PLL as I have been to college lacrosse for the last 5 or 6 years.
Also, huge announcement, I've been working a formula to rank college players (at every position) and that rating will be known as a players LaxFactor Rating. The LaxFactor Ratings will weight specific data points differently across each position group. I'm still working on finalizing the attack rating system, but should have it complete in time to do a reveal of my top 30 attackmen along with their scores for next weekends show.

Syracuse Lacrosse will have an embarrassment of riches in terms of offensive depth in the spring of 2024 thanks to winning the transfer portal. Jake Stevens & Sam English (Princeton) will both see a ton of time at midfield and attackman Christian Mule (Lehigh) is the perfect compliment to Spallina and Hiltz on attack. But adding a FOGO and two very capable LSM's certainly doesn't hurt. This is a much improved roster between these key transfers, the incoming guys and the returners will reap the benefits.

As you all now know, Notre Dame has been crowned the DI College Lacrosse National Champion after defeating Duke 13-9 on Memorial Day this past weekend. Liam Entenmann was named the games most outstanding player making 18 saves (7 of them in the fourth quarter) as the Irish pulled away from the Blue Devils enroute to winning the programs first national title.
All in all, it was an incredible final after we had perhaps the best semifinal games I can recall seeing back to back on Saturday.
And that does it for season 4, but IT’S NOT GOODBYE. I’ll be back live streaming this Saturday at 10am to recap the entire season, hand out my end of season awards and talk some PLL LACROSSE which I will cover through the summer.

In our final college lacrosse weekend preview episode of the year, we're going to talk the NCAA College Lacrosse Final 4 matchups with Penn State taking on Duke, and Notre Dame taking on Virginia. This will be the third time UVA and ND have faced each other this season with Virginia taking both regular season matchups. Penn State and Duke have not played yet, but they match up well so long as Penn State can keep Brennan O'Neill from carving them up. All American goaltender Jack Fracyon may be able to help the Nittany Lions defense with that. We'll also talk about the DII and DIII matchups between Mercyhurst and Lenoir-Rhyne and Salisbury and Tufts.

What a weekend of high quality college lacrosse. We had some close games, no absolute blowouts and the stage is set for Memorial Day Weekend which for lacrosse fans has become one of the most holy holiday weekends of the year. We’re going to talk about Virginia’s win over Georgetown, Duke’s win over Michigan, Penn State’s win over Army as well as Notre Dame’s win over Johns Hopkins. But we’ll also dive into the DII and DIII semifinal games played this weekend that saw Mercyhurst upset Lemoyne and Lenoir-Rhyne take out Limestone. In DIII action I watched Tufts take down RIT and Salisbury defeat Christopher Newport.

OK, today I’ll talk about the D1 NCAA Lacrosse Tournament as well as about games for the D2 and D3 tournaments. Every game this weekend at the Division I level have promise, but I think the Georgetown vs Virginia and Army vs Penn State matchups could be crazy. Duke has shown they are susceptible to getting upset, they did lose to Jacksonville early this season after all. Notre Dame and Hopkins rarely faceoff against each other, so no matter what the outcome of that game it will be fun to watch. I don’t hate Hopkins chances at screwing up Notre Dame’s fun. We’ll also talk about all of the D2 and D3 tournament games as well.

This weekend’s NCAA Lacrosse Tournament First Round gave us four 1-goal games, a 2-goal game and a bunch of goals in the games that weren’t so close. It was apparent that #Donna got it “mostly” right in terms of seeding with one GLARING MISTAKE, and that was handing #1 Duke a first-round matchup against Delaware, let’s dive into it.

Duke and Notre Dame were left out of the NCAA Lacrosse Tournament a season ago and now that they've locked up the #1 and #2 seeds respectively, they will be seeking revenge for last years snub. I’m going to rip through and discuss this upcoming weekend's NCAA tournament games in order of how worthy I think they’ll be of watching if you want a solid shot at seeing a decent lacrosse game. Princeton vs Penn State promises to be a really incredible game and I think that Yale vs Georgetown won't be too far behind it. But can Army upset Maryland and maybe Michigan pull an upset over Cornell?

I missed Wednesday/Thursday’s show because I’m a pansy and I was sick, but I watched a ton of lacrosse over the last 5 days and I can say that I don’t recall a conference tournament season as odd as this one. The A10 Semifinals saw Saint Joseph’s (the 1-seed) get humbled in a loss. The America East Semifinals saw Vermont (the 1-seed) get bounced. The Big Ten Tournament Semifinals, the top two seeds got bounced. Michigan took down Penn State and Maryland toppled Hopkins. The Ivy League Semifinals, same crap, the top two seeds, Cornell and Penn, both lost.
If you were a team on the bubble, these games played on Thursday and Friday were your worst nightmare. For almost ever bubble team, they needed one of the favorites of the B1G and Ivy tournaments to win in order to have a shot at an at large. What they got instead was the bubble teams they were competing against for that bid won very important games and improved their resumes, bumping tournament favorites to the at large pool.

We had lots of action this weekend with the bulk of the games being played factoring in NCAA or conference tournament seeding. We’ll talk about a bunch of said games including a couple of overtime finishes between Princeton and Cornell as well as Denver and Marquette. Syracuse’s postseason hopes were on the line in an ACC road game against Duke. Yale and Harvard played a win and you're in game, and Boston University took on Army to decide who would get the one-seed in the Patriot League tournament. The Big Ten tournament kicked off with Michigan taking on Ohio State and Maryland hosting Rutgers. We’ll talk about all of these games and more in this week's college lacrosse weekend recap show.

This weekend will see #3 Virginia host #1 Notre Dame in a game that could decide who get's the #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Big Ten Tournament kicks off with Ohio State vs Michigan and Rutgers vs Maryland. Conference tournament seeds will be completely locked up by the end of the day on Saturday and we can officially begin the postseason. Syracuse and North Carolina will each finish their season against Duke and Notre Dame respectively and a win will give them hope for an at large bid, a loss will end both of their seasons.

One of the oldest and most respected rivalries in college lacrosse, Johns Hopkins visiting Maryland ended up being the best game of the weekend, as expected. Hopkins picked up the win, and is now looking to be the favorite to win the Big Ten tournament, but seeing how every team makes the cut, it could still get interesting.
North Carolina and Syracuse both badly needed wins to keep their hopes for an at large bid alive, and both lost as Notre Dame and Virginia handled their business against their ACC rivals in a weekend that saw Duke relax with a weekend off.
Cornell and Princeton both picked up victories to remain at the top of the Ivy League standings and there were huge games in almost every conference in terms of setting up the conference tournament seedings and so on.

As a die-hard Syracuse fan, I was on the edge of my seat as Michael Leo scored the game winner with 12 seconds left against North Carolina Saturday in a must-win for the Orange. I was pretty sure Duke was going to roll Virginia for the 105th time in a row, but UVA battled back and made Duke earn the W by the end. Cornell and Georgetown each won one-goal games, the Hoyas needed a Tucker Dordevic goal in OT to taste victory. I'll talk about these games and many more in this weekends college lacrosse weekend review.

We're at the stage of the college lacrosse season where every game has huge conference tournament and NCAA tournament implications. While #3 Duke hosting #2 Virginia only plays into NCAA tournament seeding, as both of these teams have done enough to lock up their spots, it should still be a must watch game on Saturday.
The rest of the field has a lot more to play for than just seeding and bragging rights. Boston University's tilt against #20 Loyola is huge for both teams as Loyola is currently on the bubble, and Boston University could position themselves on the bubble if they can win out. Army hosting Cornell is the last non-conference matchup for both teams and represents each teams last chance at picking up a high RPI win. North Carolina just about "punches their ticket" for an at large bid if they can beat Syracuse on Saturday, and for the Orange, their only hope of staying a live and getting a potential at large bid will require a W on Saturday against the Heels.
Moral of the story, there are a lot of very important lacrosse games being played this weekend, but I'll dive a bit more into the games I'm featuring in this episode.

While I don't dive into Friday nights contest that saw Duke take down Virginia, I do go deep into Michigan's win over #2 Maryland as that to me was the story of the weekend. Penn had a big Ivy matchup against Yale and once again the cardiac Quakers needed to show up to pull out the W. Syracuse battled back to take the lead back from Notre Dame only to see the Irish go on a monster run and take the game by a margin. We'll talk about these three games and more in this weeks episode.
