Not bad but you really should flip Navy and Duke.


All the time and analysis that went into the original post and your contribution is that #21 and #22 should be reversed? What would we do without you?

Apparently not much time or analysis went into the original post or Navy would have been above Duke who not only lost to Navy but have beaten no one . There are some other things that are questionable but the Navy directly beating Duke seemed like an obvious miscalculation . Now go have a cookie .


Add Richmond to the conversation.... The Spiders are a very solid team. 2020 is really shaping up to be an exciting year.

Some Big Games coming up...

Maryland @ Syracuse
North Carolina @ Virginia
Stony Brook @ Florida
Loyola @ Penn State
Duke @ Notre Dame
Stanford @ Northwestern

Who will be the next non-Top 20 Team to knock someone off?

Looking forward to The Army Vs Navy game this year... Army definitely on the rise.

Richmond vs Villanova should be interesting as should Umass vs Richmond.

Nice win by Richmond yesterday. Virginia is still up and coming (not established) on the club and high school side but they certainly have some nice college programs: UVA, Richmond, JMU, Va Tech, Wm&Mary, VCU, Radford...

Which programs are on the rise? Army and Richmond come to mind, what other non traditional Top 20 programs are trending in the right direction? Everybody knows the 15 or so programs who always seem to be in the Top 20 then there are a handful of teams like USC, UMass, Colorado, Denver, Hopkins, Dartmouth, Stanford, Georgetown that are in and out but which programs are poised to consistently be among the Top 20?

Michigan? Who else?

There seem to be a awful lot of programs that have been around for a long time that never seem to improve.

I think Army has made great strides in a short period of time, but I also think there is a "cap" on how far they will rise.. To attend and play for any of the academy requires a very special kid.. there are only so many of those to go around... Army and Navy now compete for the same players, which at the end of the day leave both a little "Weaker"

Maryland was unable to go to Syracuse due to an impending storm. This storm didn’t stop the Notre Dame tennis team or UNC basketball team from traveling to Cuse. Maybe after the butt kicking UNC gave them they were unable to sit for the long bus ride. NCAA should have done their job and said you have 2 options go to Syracuse or forfeit. Pathetic

Can someone with knowledge of the situation please provide insight please. I know that there is a storm but it looks like other teams (other sports) were able to make their way to Syracuse.

Both UNC and Notre Dame travel to Cuse by plane. UMD makes the trip by bus. Wont matter where the game is played, Cuse will win by 10 or more goals.

I agree 100%....so it was unsafe for Maryland to drive to Syracuse yesterday but it was OK for Syracuse to leave yesterday for a noon game today. Go Cuse

Maryland - can run but they can't hide....
Syracuse - travels well....
North Carolina - Defense wins Championships.... The Tar Heels Play good D.
Virginia - Up at the half, ran out of gas... 4 games in 12 days will do that (UNC pretty good as well)
Stony Brook - Tough one
Florida - Nice rebound beat a very good SBU Team...
Loyola - Hounds are running... Penn up next...
Penn State - after back to back Final 4's in 16' an 17' The Lions have struggled to remain a Top 20 Team... At JMU on Wednesday... should be a good one.

Can Duke pull an upset vs Notre Dame???

Richmond?? Don't look now but they could run the table... UMass Vs Richmond should be a battle... Villanova? not sure...

Could you imagine if a different program pulled what Maryland did. Absolutely disgraceful

Just finding their way. The Terps were hit hard by graduation. I'm sure they will get better as the season goes on. Pretty sure they lost 9 of the 15 players that played in the 2019 championship game. Replacing 9 starters is not easy, even for a strong program like Maryland. I wouldn't worry too much about Maryland, I am sure they will be just fine.

Looks like to me they’re missing some star power. Have a lot of good players just no great ones. Missed on some recruiting classes with a very average class coming in next year as well. MD been spoiled over the last decade by arguably having the best players in the game. Easy to Coach when you have the best players going to see now how good the coach really is. Going to have to start going deeper into the bench then they usually do as well. MD will hang around the top 25 for the next few years but not seeing a top 5 team in the near future.

IWLCA/StringKing Players of the Week – February 25, 2020



The IWLCA has chosen six NCAA student-athletes for the IWLCA/StringKing Player of the Week awards for the week of February 17-23, 2020. This weekly award recognizes the best offensive and defensive performances by payers in Division I, II, and III each week during the regular season.
DIVISION I


Offensive Player of the Week

Scottie Rose Growney– University of North Carolina

Growney scored a career-high six goals in North Carolina’s win over #3 Maryland, leading the Tar Heels to a 19-6 victory. The junior midfielder also chipped in with a ground ball and a draw control. Growney was instrumental in UNC scoring its most goals ever and registering its largest margin of victory ever against Maryland.

Penn State with back to back 10 goal losses has to be out of the Top 25.

Maryland is still sorting things out but is headed in the right direction for now...

Syracuse, Florida and Stony Brook all ranked too high right now.

Navy has to right the ship.

BC has a chance to prove they are a Top 20 team vs ND this weekend.

There is more parity than ever before in the Top 20 - 30 Teams. Tournament Bids and Final Four up for grabs.

Maryland is far from previous years but still to me a top 15 team. They didn't lose to the little sisters of the poor. They lost to current numbers 1,3,and 5 (although Florida will drop). BC should be out unless they pull off upset at ND. Penn State and Navy should both be out, as should Colorado & Stanford. The jury is still out on both Michigan and Denver.

Not sure who should be in but at this point the one team that should be out is Penn State. Penn State has played 1 very good team (Loyola) and one decent team (James Madison) and they lost to both by 10 goals. That said, The Nittany Lions have a chance to redeem themselves in their next 3 games. Penn State has games vs Vanderbilt, Northwestern and Virginia... Win 1 and they can get back on track, win 2 and they are Top 20 win 3 and they prove that they are a very good team.

Hofstra and Vanderbilt should be considered, Brown took a tough Dartmouth team to OT... Things are getting interesting, a lot of Lacrosse to be played. Good luck to all.

BC is heading into a tough six game stretch... they need to go at least 3 - 3 in order to stay in the Top 25. For the first time that I can remember it looks like there is true parity in the top 25 - 30 teams. As of now, North Carolina is the only team that has set themselves apart from the pack.

Can Virginia stop the slide, or will Duke take advantage of a struggling ACC foe and knock the Cav's off?

Does Hofstra have enough to pull off an upset over the Terps?

Can Penn slow down the high powered Loyola offense?

I am starting to think the NCAA will be suspending play within the next week or two. Does anyone think this will happen? They must also be concerned about March Madness. Trust me, I think the media has hyped this virus to no end, by Hofstra already cancelled a week of school, some LI high schools have suspended classes...etc.

Although there was some minor shuffling in the back end of the poll, there was no significant movement, and only one new entrant, as Pomona-Pitzer (7-0) claimed the final spot in the poll this week.

There are several Top-25 games to watch this week, starting on Monday, when #5 Wesleyan visits Colorado College (#15). Wednesday sees Ithaca (#16) squaring off at Colorado College, and #6 Gettysburg facing #7 Salisbury. On Saturday, #18 Brockport visits Salisbury, #17 Colby travels to Wesleyan, #4 Washington and Lee welcomes #10 Catholic, top-ranked Middlebury hosts #20 Trinity, #3 Franklin & Marshall visits Cortland (#23), and Gettysburg hosts #2 Tufts.

Amherst just announced they're cancelling all Spring sports

Notre Dame (6-0) held steady at number two, while Loyola (5-0) continued ascending, landing at #3 after taking down #9 Penn 19-15 last weekend. Syracuse (7-1) and Stony Brook (4-1) round out the top five. Dartmouth (5-0) and Duke (5-3) were this week’s big movers, as they each jumped five spots to land at numbers 10 and 18 respectively.

In addition to Monday’s matchup between UNC and Northwestern, other big games during the week include #19 Navy at #8 Florida on Tuesday, #4 Syracuse at #15 Virginia on Thursday, and #22 Penn State at Northwestern on Friday. This weekend features Boston College (#20) taking on #23 Virginia Tech, and #9 Penn at #18 Duke on Saturday, followed by #2 Notre Dame at top-ranked Carolina, #16 Denver at #12 Michigan, #5 Stony Brook at #7 Southern California, and #25 Colorado at #24 Stanford on Sunday.

Splitting hairs between a lot of these teams but overall it looks pretty good. Carolina still the clear favorite to win the championship but after that it is still up for gabs.

Amherst announcing suspension of spring sports and classes pending how the outbreak develops. While it leaves the possibility of resuming sports any extended delay will kill the season.

Both schools suspended sports and classes. As I noted before, any delay in resuming sports will kill their spring sports.

They shouldn't be worried about cancelling woman's lacrosse games. Besides the parents of the home team girls, no one else is there!

It appears all NESCAC schools have suspended spring sports which I believe means they are done for the season. Seven of the top twenty are NESCAC schools, including numbers 1,2 and 5. This pretty much guts D3, no offense to remaining schools and places an asterisk on this season. Hopefully some spring break time will rethink starting back up.

Some lighter side humor to all this....

Amherst, Middlebury and Harvard have prepared their students to finish spring courses on-line. University of Phoenix looks like a better value at this point....

Middlebury, in their statement supporting closing, stated that the dense residential makeup of the town was a cause of concern. Has anyone been to Middlebury? It’s in the middle of no where.

UPDATE: Not all NESCAC schools have scrapped season. Will be dealt with day to day, school by school.

Conn College, Bates, Colby and Hamilton still playing their games. For now.
