Lax Factor Lacrosse Podcast

What we learned in the D1 NCAA Lacrosse Quarterfinal Round is that Maryland is really, really good at lacrosse. The Terps dismantled Virginia while dominating all facets of the game. It's going to be tough for Princeton next weekend, and if the Terps are able to get past the semi-final round, it will be tough in the finals for whoever has to face them as well. Cornell was able to play almost four...

We had a great day of DIII lacrosse action as the NCAA Lacrosse Quarterfinals were played on Saturday in the heat. Union needed back to back goals with under a minute to play to defeat Gettysburg by a score of 14-13... ***NOTE, I THOUGHT FOR SOME REASON THIS GAME WENT INTO OT, IT DIDN'T, but it was still a hell of a game and I'm just an idiot****.  York and Christopher Newport actually did ne...

Maryland proved they are absolute monsters with their statement win over Rutgers on Saturday in the Big Ten Championship. Logan Wisnauskas and company are good all over the field and Maryland locked up the #1 seed without question. Georgetown made a solid argument as to why they deserve the #2 seed by capping their 1 loss season with a win over Villanova.  Despite only winning by 2 goals, the...

The Ivy has been insane all season long. That chaos was on full display in Yale's OT win over Harvard. Thomas Bragg scorched one in OT, yet another man-up goal for Bragg to win the game for Yale. Loyola also needed OT to win their regular season finale. It was Kevin Lindley scoring a man up goal on a dish from Aiden Olmstead to secure the sudden death for Lehigh and give Loyola a much needed win....

Army hosted Navy in the annual Army/Navy lacrosse game on Saturday and it was Lax Twitter's favorite, Xavier Arline that helped quarterback Navy to a win over Army. He finished the game with 2 goals and 2 assists, and Jack Sweeney scored a man up goal in OT and Navy wins the ballgame. Penn State gave Rutgers all the Scarlet Knights could handle and in the process scared the crap out of poor Rutger...

Syracuse gave all they had to try and fight their way back into their contest against North Carolina on Saturday, but the comeback bid came up short. After taking a 1-goal lead with just over 2-minutes to play, the Syracuse defense gave up 2 goals in the final minutes to allow UNC to pick up the victory in regulation, mathematically ending Syracuse's season. Chris Gray had 5 goals and an assist in...

It was heartbreak for the Syracuse faithful  on Thursday night as the Orange took on UAlbany on the road and came away with a loss. Albany played incredible defense forcing Syracuse into 21 turnovers and Will Ramos made 15 saves for the Danes in victory. Graydon Hogg put up 4 goals off just 8 shots and freshman Thomas Decker contributed 3 goals and a helper. In some D3 lacrosse action, RIT he...

We started the weekend early with a Thursday night ACC showdown between Virginia and North Carolina that saw Connor Shellenberger put up big numbers while helping the Cav's to a big victory over their conference rival. The Ivy League showed up in a big way, starting with Princeton beating Rutgers (and I forgot to talk about that one) on Friday. But Harvard beat Michigan, Brown took down a very goo...

But after that we'll get into the weekend previews of games that should be pretty great. The biggest being Notre Dame hosting Maryland. I like the Terps to win, but it should be a heck of a game...

What a weekend of college lacrosse week #3 brought us. In this weeks recap show, we're going to start by talking about how Virginia dismantled Syracuse, partly thanks to Petey LaSalla getting revenge on Phaup. Connor Shellenberger going off for 7 points didn't hurt Virginia either. The Georgetown defense proved it is every bit as good as advertised by holding off a late Notre Dame comeback bid and...

We're going to start this episode talking about DII Mercyhurst vs Lemoyne, but after that will dive into Syracuse playing at Virginia which is going to be a huge game this weekend.  But then Notre Dame hosts Georgetown in a battle of two of the best teams in the country across the board both offensively, defensively and in cage. Maryland is taking on Princeton in a game many think is going to...

What a great Saturday of lacrosse we got to see. It started off for me watching Duke and Denver. What started out as a close game ended with Duke winning 19-10 and both Brennan O'Neill and Dyson Williams putting up 4 goals and 2 helpers. The return of the Ivies happened this weekend and the highlight of Saturday was Penn taking on Georgetown. Great game all the way through that saw the Hoyas get a...

Week 2 action is upon us and we're going to see a bunch of really sold games. Quick list of what we'll talk about in this weeks preview show... Syracuse will be hosting Maryland at the Dome and I expect both of these high flying offenses to put some points on the board. Duke is hosting Denver and this should be a very solid game with Duke holding a slight edge due to their unrelenting offensive fi...
