Hah. Gay sailors > dead fish handshakers.

#15 Towson hosts #17 tOSU tomorrow!

[andy7171]

#18 Towson loses to #15 Ohio State, 7-6. And lost leading scorer and middie in process.

[89Hen]

In HS LAX, 89Jr's school dropped a game over the weekend to fall from #1 in the nation, but picked up another quality win yesterday in OT. Fast forward to 18:45 for the game winner. Check out the goal scorer, you will see him on the offensive line of Alabama in the next four years, 6'4" - 290. Andy will recognize the name.

Nice!

[UNI88]

There's a lot of HS talent out there now, so it's only a matter of time before the kids in the east migrate further west for college. Heck, Denver is ranked #1 this year, Notre Dame 2.

Almost no midwest programs though.

For a school like UNI (just as an example) it'd be fools gold to try mens or womens.

Watch how the private schools in Iowa do/recruit and then try it after a decade or so

I know UNI is looking at a small womens sport, or two, to equal out Title IX a little more. The rugby team doesn't want to go NCAA and so a couple sports have been explored. If LAX gets into the midwest at a D1 level it might show up at places like UNI, Drake, SIU, etc...

Illinois has about 60 HS's with boys lacrosse and the number is increasing as more kids are playing at the youth level and pushing their schools to add it.

Women's lacrosse isn't as big but it is growing especially with Northwestern as a perennial power.

[andy7171]

Towson beats Delaware 12-7! Moves to 8-3(2-0).

[bluehenbillk]

UD not really a powerhouse..

[andy7171]

UD not really a powerhouse..

Neither is Towson, but a CAA win is a win none the less. Two one point losses to Navy and Ohio State and a 11-15 loss to #8 Loyola ain't half bad. I wish fucking Maryland would add us to their schedule again. What a bunch of assholes. We play them in every other sport, and even in football every 4 years now.

[andy7171]

I guess beating Hopkins didn't impress the committee. Towson won the CAA and got the play in game to play Notre Dame.

Completely shitting the bed and losing to Hofstra at home completely nullifies anything I can gripe about though.

[andy7171]

Bring on the Irish!!!!

[andy7171]

Well Towson gave it their all, but fell short and lost to #1 Notre Dame 12-10. Fun season though.

And this happened, where's DaneFan?

[89Hen]

And this happened, where's DaneFan?

Not sure whether to or I'm sure the coach did NOT like that one.

[93henfan]

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Denver.

Notre Dame scores four goals unanswered in last five minutes to send the first semi to OT.

Pekovic is a beast.

[93henfan]

Denver takes it in sudden death. Great game.

Maryland versus Andy's favorite team up next.

[93henfan]

Down goes Hopkins!


#4 Denver vs #6 Merlin in the final

[Grizalltheway]

My money's on the wizard.

[93henfan]

My money's on the wizard.

They have the history/tradition/pedigree/blahblahblah but Denver looked great yesterday.

I'm going with Mountain Coast Bias on this one. even though Denver has 23 players from the ECB

Fun fact: no team farther west than Chapel Hill, NC has won the NCAA Men's Lax championship.

[Grizalltheway]

Well the Griz won the hurling national championship last year, which is like lacrosse but less faggy.

You meant curling. It's a big thing up there in Canadatana.

Denver wins it. But I'd rather watch curling!
