The Crabs are a joke. They look like a high school team out there. I can’t believe they came up empty this weekend. I guess it takes more than physical dominance to win lacrosse games.

NAL was the clearest proof that the parity you see in the college game (minus the Terps) is what we have in 2026. Anyone can beat anyone. Sometimes a team has a bad game. Sometimes the ball doesn’t bounce your way or hits a few pipes. Sometimes the refs are atrocious. You can’t tell me the Tigers stink because they didn’t make it to Day 2. They can beat anyone and have beaten Express handily.

Congrats to LI Express on running the gauntlet. They’re a great team. If they go undefeated this summer I’ll come back here and eat my words, but there are a lot of great teams at this age group. We should enjoy it and stop feeding into the fake hype machine of rankings.
