about as perfect a day we get in mid Feb in South bend. ND preseason done. Next 3 are @Georgetown, @Maryland, Ohio state before Michigan and the ACC.
princeton in a dogfight with manhattan right now. 8-7 in the third, and they led the whole first half. on espn+
That assist to win the championship against Syracuse in 2001 is still one of my favorite lacrosse memories of all time. I was still a fan of Princeton at the time and I think I watched that game on tape dozens of times
Great day of lacrosse today. Princeton Maryland on espn+ right now Georgetown ND on…Flosports into the b 3rd quarter Hopkins Utah in a good one on espn+ bunch of good games later today and tonight as well. Ohio state Virginia in Florida could be great
Of all the games on tv, that was the one I decided to watch (refused to pay for Flosports) boring ass game
Maryland offense lost its top 3 scorers from last year (including Tewaaraton winner), and lost its top returning scorer before the season, to an ACL. They also lost their goalie to ACL. This team is a shell of last year’s squad, but they should be exponentially better next year.
Been nice to see a couple of other Terps I’ve trained, starting to play well. Ryan Siracusa is seeing the field quite a bit this year, and has made the most of his opportunities. Ajax Zappitello started slowly this year, and has stepped it up lately.
He has big shoes to fill and has stepped up in a huge way. Could see Maryland looking much better as the year progresses, as all of these young guys continue to get reps and become comfortable.
Another big early season weekend Denver yup 1 on unc after 3 (game started at 11 am) Ohio state Cornell just started Georgetown tries to get something going against Princeton later this afternoon Penn State and penn play later today as well big game of the weekend is ND vs MD at 1. I’m hoping for a change in that series from the last 3-4 years. ND has struggled in the road in this one so I’m not expecting a w, but if this team is as good as I hope they are, it should be a good game Duke and Syracuse play tomorrow at 4
PSU with another top ten win against an Ivy. Scored 7 straight from late in the 3rd through the end of the game.
Wow. That’s a real good win for them. B1G is going to be a battle again and the Ivy may be down a bit this year
Duke Syracuse on accnx in espn+. 2-0 Syracuse 8 minutes in and Duke has got approximately 2 million posts today. It’s insane
Great performance by the Syracuse goalie too. Duke wins in OT, Balsamo scores. Announcer goes “Smooth like balsamic vinegar…. that you put on your salad.”
St Joe vs penn on espn+ right now. St joes up 10-9. something off with all of the Ivy teams this year. It’s early, but they could go from 6 teams to just a couple in the tournament this year.
Another really good slate of games today Unexpected game of the weekend seems to be Cornell vs penn state. Will be very interesting to see what psu does today Maryland down early to Albany. They just look off right now Yale Up early on Denver and brown and Carolina tied early. I’m heading out to watch ND vs Ohio State at 2. Ohio state has had their number recently after not winning a game in like 20 years (if ever). Hoping nd doesn’t have a hangover from last week
Nd just blows this one open in the 3rd. What was a 5-2, hard fought game at the half is now 12-2 heading to the 4th. Fun stuff
Duke going to beat North Carolina tonight (totally forgot the game was on) uva Maryland the clear game of the weekend tomorrow. Very interested to see that one. Would imagine Virginia would like payback for last year’s games. Yale Cornell at 12 Saturday is the game of the weekend in the Ivy. It’s looking like a one or two big leave at this point, so conference wins will be key
Marquette beating penn state would be wild s as hell. Would be the most surprising result this year by far
Cornell poured it on 20-10 and holy shit at the crowd in Virginia. Looks like an incredible atmosphere. Hoping for a good game
Unbelievable game in Virginia. Headed to OT 13-13. Maryland scored the go ahead goal with a minute to go but had called a TO right before. very reminiscent of the ND game for Maryland. Up 2 late and gave up the lead. Had a chance to win at the end but couldn’t. Now we see if they can win it in OT
Yes it did. Was hoping for a 1 v 2 game next weekend. Now we don’t have that and Virginia is going to be pissed
When I lived in DC I used to go to the quarter finals each time they were in Annapolis. This year my wife (who teaches a summer session in Paris each May) is taking my daughter to Paris all of May, leaving me home alone with our 8 year old sports obsessed boy. Just booked flights to DC from May 18-22 and will be taking him to Annapolis on the 21st. :)
For the first time all season, we have truly terrible weather in south bend on a Saturday which sucks because uva nd needs to be played on a warm spring afternoon. Instead we’re getting a wintry mix. Still should be a great game. It was this game last year that ND bottomed out and was lucky to score 8 and only lose by 4. Haven’t lost since that ones in espnu at 12 Maryland and penn state play on btn at 5, so I’ll need to get two TVs going for that and basketball. Maryland hasn’t looked great on offense but they’re still the class of the b1g until proven otherwise Cornell penn and Ohio state Rutgers play on Sunday. Ohio State desperately needs a win given their struggles so far this year should be a great weekend (provided Notre dame wins today) https://www.insidelacrosse.com/arti...ler-looms-in-south-bend-tv-games-galore/61017
