Lacrosse Magazine :: A Publication of US Lacrosse : Making Sense of it All - March 15

At the duplicate time, this gives us a mo to flip the greatness of the players - former and immediate - who hold built the aforementioned expectations in the Bullet franchise, and the dignified action in which they played the game. This is not to assert that Gettysburg testament be away of our collective thoughts. Liking Caesar's Ghost, the Bullets will be a spectre hovering on all sides of the Centennial Conference, and might much bias to play the role of spoiler.

The doctrine that this aggregation would assemble the four-team cooperative tournament, never brain sweep it, however, is implausible. Alas, there is acceptable description for the Bullets. Unlike the Roman emperor, whose obituary was peruse for the ending period on the Ides of March, 44 B.C., Gettysburg will be able to commerce in the proverbial robes of Caesar for those of Lazarus once Memorial Hour has come and gone.

Correction In my Friday blog, I wrote that Gettysburg had not hidden by exceeding than 10 goals - the antithesis in this year's Stevenson pastime - because 1999. I received an email from Rick Stewart, who corrected me. We de facto forfeit to Salisbury, 17-2, in 2003, which was my son's freshman season with the Bullets," wrote Stewart. I truly had to sit fini that bad-looking game."

So we'll chalk up to attach the "non-Salisbury" waiver onto my nugget. The Eagles Obtain Landed The beautiful bit of Mary Washington's 10-9 victory over No. 8 Washington & Shelter in women's lacrosse on Saturday is not the gold itself - we behold upsets all the allotment - on the other hand rather this contest was as all the more as the score. In bountiful cases, you'll study a ranked bunch undone by a feverous goalie or a couple of flukey goals, nevertheless it appears the Eagles went toe-to-toe with the Generals and were ethical better.

MWC outshot (26-18) W&L and both teams had the twin bigness of saves. The Eagles indeed had to bowled over the Generals going 4-for-5 in unpaid positions shots as opposed to condign one-for-one for the at rest team. So are the Eagles legit? They invisible to No. 4 Gettysburg, 18-10 (no disgrace in that), however the curious loss is the 14-10 setback to Roanoke. The amusement was played in St.

Croix, so possibly the Mary Washington players were yet mentally on the beach, owing to it's definitely a head-scratcher. Looking forward, whether the Eagles can practice St. Mary's sequential this week, they'll snuggle up to Salisbury as the unit two faction in the CAC, which typically mode an NCAA berth. The Eagles Posses Landed II In spite of growth a fourth-year programme and a advanced member of the MAC, the Eastern (St. Davids, Pa.)

Saturday. The gold star for Eastern and its first-year intellect coach, Brandon Childs, not exclusive evened the Eagles log at 2-2, on the contrary as well snapped Messiah's 26-game public season convention winning streak dating back three seasons. Childs, a former standout at Lynchburg, said he had to rely on senior Ben O'Donnell to play most of the diversion at midfield. Fortunately, O'Donnell was used to a bit of running. Benny played the total form in the midfield, and that was a colossal contrariness for us," said Childs.

We played him up front against Haverford, and we needed him to clock another of the ball. He was an All-Conference Cross Territory runner two dotage ago, so we needed him to haul on some of that participation today."

Eastern much has nine conference games left, so there is piece of clock for ebb and flow, but it's always good-looking to ante up the conference bully a punch in the nose early on to let ‘em appreciate you're there. Match-up Problems for the ECC? The East Seaside Conference men didn't act themselves any favours in the relay for the Desert Card spot this weekend by losing three games to the Northeast-10 (a.k.a.,

North region teams). While two of the games were predicted by the plebiscite - No. 6 Merrimack beat No. 7 Dowling, 11-8, and No. 2 Le Moyne beat No. 4 Mercyhurst, 11-5 - the third one was a stunner. Unranked Bentley posted an 11-10 victory over No. 5 Adelphi. Provided any of those ECC teams harbour NCAA aspirations (which I'm undeniable they do), they may asset themselves on the bad mark of some secondary criteria come May.

On the coruscating side for the ECC, the presumptive second-best team, C.W. Post, is all the more slaughtering the opposition - this week it was St. Michael's, 18-1. This sets up the Post-Le Moyne battle hard by weekend in Syracuse, which has to be considered the Sport of the Week at any level. Slides & Rides - There were a quota of raised eyebrows when Clarkson appeared in LM's preaseason poll, but the Golden Knights may prove the voters right. They hung sorrounding all merriment with No.

2 Cortland until eventually bowing, 13-11, on Saturday in Florida. Hurried losses aren't payment a lot, but it makes the Geneseo-Clarkson entertainment on Wednesday one to direct an eye on. Another upstate N.Y. St. Johns Fisher. Granted, the Cardinals get not played the most challenging schedule, but they are off to a 5-0 start. And with its adjacent four games at home, SJF could conceivably be 9-0 heading into their Empire 8 tilt with No.
