Michigan Tops Maryland, High Point Stuns North Carolina, Cuse Keeps Winning (LaxFactor Podcast #280)

Michigan Tops Maryland, High Point Stuns North Carolina, Cuse Keeps Winning (LaxFactor Podcast #280)

Every weekend has brought some chaos to the college lacrosse world, and this weekend was no different. After Boston University took down #1 Army Friday night, Michigan and High Point decided to get in on the upset action with each team scoring late on the way to Michigan upsetting Maryland, and High Point stunning UNC. Princeton, Cornell and Penn all handled their business in Ivy league play.

Syracuse Dominates Duke At Home, Duke vs Syracuse Lacrosse Highlights (LaxFactor Podcast #279)

#6 Syracuse hosted the #4 Duke Blue Devils in the Dome on Wednesday night and came away victors, with a 10-4 statement win. The Orange defense played their best game of the season, and in reality the best defensive game any team has played all year long. They held the Duke attack to just 2 goals and an assist. Will Mark was a monster with 14 saves for the Cuse and Owen Hiltz put up 3 goals in the win.

Syracuse Drops Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Notre Dame, Virginia & Duke All Win (LaxFactor Podcast #278)

Syracuse and Johns Hopkins are back near the top of the college lacrosse world, and everything is great when these two teams play in a top-10 matchup. #9 Syracuse defeated #2 Johns Hopkins 14-13 in an instant classic. Maryland needed overtime to take down a very pesky Brown squad. Notre Dame edged Ohio State, Virginia & Duke both pulled away in the second half to pick up wins. It was Penn State beating up on Cornell that was the surprise of the weekend.

Denver Tops Cornell, Maryland, Hopkins, Rutgers & Utah All Win Easily (LaxFactor Podcast #277)

Denver Tops Cornell, Maryland, Hopkins, Rutgers & Utah All Win Easily (LaxFactor Podcast #277)

We didn't have as many top notch college lacrosse matchups this weekend, but we still had some solid games. Johns Hopkins took down North Carolina pretty easily and it could have been better for the Jays if they didn't assult numerous UNC players down the stretch. Maryland hosted Princeton and showed that the Tigers losses in the offseason were too much for them to overcome. Rutgers put the beat down on Loyola as did Utah over Vermont. Penn needed overtime to take down Delaware in a very exciting matchup, and Denver scored a late goal and outlasted Cornell by the end out west. We'll cover these games in depth, with highlights as well as many others in this weekends college lacrosse recaps.

Syracuse Hosts Maryland At Dome, Virginia To Be Tested By Richmond & More (LaxFactor Podcast #275)

Syracuse Hosts Maryland At Dome, Virginia To Be Tested By Richmond & More (LaxFactor Podcast #275)

The biggest game in this glorious weekend of college lacrosse is #4 Maryland taking on #5 Syracuse in the Dome on Saturday as the days nightcap. It will be Joey Spallina and the Syracuse offense taking on Ajax Zapitello and the Maryland defense. The battle at the faceoff dot between Kohn and Wierman should be fun to watch.


#3 Virginia will travel to take on #17 Richmond. The Spiders only lost to Maryland by a goal in 2OT's, so they are battle tested and ready to go against a Virginia team that could be scary good offensively this year.


#7 Army will travel a short distance to take on #11 Rutgers. I like Army in this one, but Rutgers has a very good offensive team. #20 Loyola against #9 Hopkins should also be a very good game with a similar rivalry to Army and Rutgers.


We'll talk about those games and many more in this weeks college lacrosse preview show.

Week 2 Previews: Virginia vs Michigan, Georgetown vs Hopkins Show Promise (LaxFactor Podcast #273)

Week 2 Previews: Virginia vs Michigan, Georgetown vs Hopkins Show Promise (LaxFactor Podcast #273)

My first thought as I looked at the second week of games was "there aren't a lot of bangers" here. But as always, the college lacrosse gods have spoken and the more I dove into some of these matchups, the more I feel we should see some solid games.

Virginia hosting Michigan could be promising, but at the end of the day, can Michigan's defense stifle the UVA offense enough to keep things close? Johns Hopkins hosting Georgetown also has the makings of a solid contest, but after getting smoked by Loyola a weekend ago, do the Greyhounds have some trouble on the horizon? Hopkins was upset by Denver in week one, but bounced back with a solid win over Towson. Which Hopkins team will show up?

Maryland will host Loyola (coming off the Gtown win) and I expect this to be a solid fight. Syracuse will be the first team to play three games and should be 3-0 after beating Manhattan on Friday night. Rutgers takes on Stony Brook (on the road) in a game that could be closer than many expect.

We also get to see Duke again, North Carolina will take on Mercer leaving Notre Dame as the only ACC team that won't have played yet. I'll talk about these games and many more in this weeks college lacrosse weekend preview show.

Hopkins & Penn State Get Dropped, Duke & Syracuse Roll, Maryland Survives (LaxFactor Podcast #272)

Hopkins & Penn State Get Dropped, Duke & Syracuse Roll, Maryland Survives (LaxFactor Podcast #272)

What an opening weekend of college lacrosse. We saw #13 Denver take down #5 Johns Hopkins in overtime with JJ Sillstrop going crazy and scoring the games final 4 goals, including the OT winner. We saw unranked Colgate take down #4 Penn State on the road, scoring the game winner with 4 seconds left in regulation. We saw Syracuse and Duke each roll their non-conference foes. We saw Loyola beat up on a Georgetown team that is trying out all sorts of new starters. Maryland needed 2OT's to take down Richmond on the road. Rutgers eeked out a 2-goal win over Lehigh. Ohio State was losing to Utah for most of the game before rebounding and picking up the win. We'll talk about all of these games and more in this seasons first college lacrosse weekend roundup.

Week 1 Previews: Hopkins & OSU Will Be Tested, Duke & Syracuse Will Roll (LaxFactor Podcast #271)

In our first week of college lacrosse action, Johns Hopkins taking on Denver would appear to be the big matchup of the weekend. However, I think that Ohio State is going to get a very solid test taking on Utah at home. Penn State, Maryland, Syracuse and Duke are both playing games they should handily win. Rutgers hosting Lehigh, and Loyola hosting Georgetown should actually end up being the best games of the weekend.

PLL Cities Announced & LaxFactor College Player Ratings Are Coming Soon (LaxFactor Podcast #269)

PLL Cities Announced & LaxFactor College Player Ratings Are Coming Soon (LaxFactor Podcast #269)

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.

Notre Dame Defeats Duke, Irish Crowned National Champions On Memorial Day (LaxFactor Podcast #266)

Notre Dame Defeats Duke, Irish Crowned National Champions On Memorial Day (LaxFactor Podcast #266)

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.

NCAA Lacrosse Final 4 Previews, Duke vs Penn State, Virginia vs Notre Dame (LaxFactor Podcast #265)

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.

This week's preview show is going to start with some recaps from Sunday’s and Tuesday’s games. There was some Big Ten action on Sunday that we have to talk about as well as Georgetown beating up on Loyola last night. Once we get done with those three recaps we’ll dive into previews and will talk about all of the big games being played between Friday and Saturday this weekend.

#3 Duke Hosts #2 Virginia, Huge B1G, Patriot, AE & Ivy Matchups Looming (LaxFactor Podcast #254)

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.
