Lax Factor Lacrosse Podcast

There are a lot of talented midfielders playing college lacrosse in 2020, but the three guys I'm going to outline in this video, Jamie Trimboli (SR, Syracuse), Jack Hannah (JR, Denver) and Jonathan Donville (JR, Cornell) are all having MONSTER seasons so far in 2020. It's actually hard to call any of these guys "breakout stars" as they have all had great careers since stepping onto their respectiv...

Cornell handled their business at the face-off dot and the result was a 1-goal win over Penn State. Brown used a big day from Phil Goss in net as he made 16 saves and that was good enough to get Brown the win. Syracuse rode their first midfield line to a route of Johns Hopkins in the Orange's first road game of the year. Princeton proved they can win games even if Michael Sowers doesn't put up 8+...

A lot of college lacrosse games to touch on in this weeks preview show, including Penn State vs Cornell, Syracuse vs Hopkins, Duke vs Loyola, Denver vs Notre Dame, Rutgers vs Princeton and many more. Can Michael Sowers continue his points tear against Rutgers in this in-state rivalry game? Can Penn State merk Cornell at the face-off dot like Ohio State did? If so, they'll win big over the Big Red....

Hobart as expected came into the dome and gave Syracuse some trouble, but Syracuse used the 4th quarter to separate themselves from their longtime rival enroute to a 21-13 Orange win. Tucker Dordevic had his 2020 breakout game going for 5 goals with 2 helpers. Linemates Brendan Curry (5g, 1a) and Jamie Trimboli (2g, 2a) made sure the entire nation knows that this Cuse first midfield line is tops i...

#20 Richmond gave #13 Duke all they could handle in Durham, but Duke was able to pull out a thrilling overtime victory over the pesky Spiders by a final score of 16-15. JT Giles-Harris was formidable on defense causing 4 turnovers while picking up 6 ground balls. On offense it was the Dyson Williams show with the freshman going for 7 goals off just 9 shots. JP Basile (1g, 4a) and Owen Caputo (3g,...

It was a great game at the Carrier Dome with #7 Army taking on #5 Syracuse and we saw Cuse pull out the tough 9-7 win thanks to a 5-goal effort from senior midfielder Jamie Trimboli.

Yale vs Syracuse on Sunday, one of the best scrimmage matchups of the 2020 season went down and I was in the house.  Both teams looked great, both came out playing fast and playing aggressive, and after 3 quarters of each team playing their starters, Yale edged out Syracuse 12-11 or so.  *Support the channel, buy some swat* https://www.laxfactor.com/
