Early bracket projections are starting to take form, but here at Hat Trick we're sticking to what we do best - picking every game from every conference.

Welcome to April, the heart and soul of every DI lacrosse season. Conference play dominates the landscape, midweek games have gone extinct, and teams are trying to simultaneously boost their standing and RPI. Week 9 has some spectacular conference matchups alongside the marquee Richmond/Notre Dame showdown.

Glaeser is back! The trio of Garretts is here to walk through early conference play in full swing. The MAAC is up to playing bi-weekly, the Patriot League is as paradoxical as ever, the Big Ten is suffering from a poor out of conference record, and the ACC gets going in full swing. It’s Week 8 and we’re officially past the halfway mark of the 2026 season.

The end of spring break sees teams kick off conference play into high gear. We've already witnessed the parody of the bigger conferences, like the MAAC and Patriot. Now, with several others getting underway into the conference slate, expect more surprises to share up the standings and at large hopes.

Spring break across the college lacrosse landscape sees teams making the most of travel opportunities. This week's slate of games doesn't have the firepower as prior week's, but as we progress into may each game becomes all the more important. More conference play opens up and in the D3 world, all eyes are on the Mustang Classic!

The Richmond Spiders find themselves at No. 1 in our top 20 and they’ve got a big time showdown with a Georgetown team that’s desperately looking for a signature win. Can Syracuse put away a resurgent Hopkins team on the road? Can Ohio State build with another top 10 win against Notre Dame? We preview these games and (as always) all the others in our Week 5 episode.

A wild Week 3 saw many of the top ranked teams fall and a top 20 shake up that left everyone asking who’s No. 1. Week 4 brings us a boatload of notable matchups with teams seeking to get back on the right tracks. With Glaeser out, Dreiband and Voigt have you covered.

With all teams having played at least a game, the season really gets going in Week 3. There are competitive matchups up and down the slate this week. Our marquee matchups feature both blue bloods and teams trying to separate themselves from the doldrums of D1. Dreiband has an edge over Voigt and Glaeser, can they catch him this week?

Week 2 sees the Ivy League take the field for the first time, as well as some other notable northern teams like Albany. There are a ton of great games, but all eyes are on the dome for the headliner matchup between No. 1 & 2 - ‘Cuse & Maryland. Voigt is making the trek up to catch this spectacle in person and we can’t wait to hear how it goes!

If you thought Week 0 had a lot of schedule adjustments, then ditto for Week 1, just this time the games are actually happening! Week 1 sees essentially every team (except the Ivies and a few others) play, and we’ve got you covered for all of them. With games equally spread across Friday and Saturday, it's a great weekend of lacrosse leading up to the Super Bowl!

This Week 0 has some headliners that will assuredly have consequences come May. There are 3 top 15 matchups, all where the lower seed has a great chance to make an early season statement.

Week 15 - Battle of the Blue Bloods by Hat Trick Lacrosse Picks

We've arrived to the quarterfinal round. 8 teams remain. 2 games Saturday at Hofstra, 2 Sunday at Navy. Every team is just one win away from a championship weekend berth at Gillette Stadium. The favorites appear to be clear - including unseeded Notre Dame - the only question is if they can hold on.

We've got a bracket we largely expected with geography dictating the matchups rather than true seeding. Nonetheless, it's a fantastic slate for the first round with two compelling play-in games Wednesday afternoon. We talk the bracket, selection criteria, and, of course, we pick winners for all the games.

The singular greatest four day stretch of the college lacrosse season has arrived. Between today and Sunday, conference tourneys across the nation will determine who is safely in and who is sweating it out come selection Sunday evening. While we agree on most semi-final outcomes, we talk championships, at large selections, and seeding in this jam packed episode.
