Virginia is HIM: Week 2 Lacrosse Wall Ball
Welcome to the Week 2 Lacrosse Wall Ball recap. Week 2 saw six Top 20 teams lose this weekend (Hopkin’s actually lost twice). Georgetown, Harvard, and Brown left Week 2 looking for the reset button and UMass-Lowell needing the number of a good personal injury lawyer. Maryland and Syracuse didn’t make the list this week […]
Quint Kessenich’s Top 20: February 20, 2023
Army beat Rutgers. Cornell had to fight for the full 60 minutes at Albany. Penn and Loyola held serve. Manhattan shocked Navy. Brown fell to Quinnipiac. Harvard got torched for 20 goals in the first half. Queens picked up their first D1 win on Sunday defeating Hampton. So far, 2023 is unpredictable, high scoring and […]
Ohio State or UNC: College Lacrosse Best Bets
If there’s anything we’ve learned through the first two weekends of the college lacrosse season, it’s that we know nothing at all especially when it comes to bets. Up is down and down is up.

Quint Kessenich’s Top 20: February 6, 2023

In 2023, I could argue that the lead peloton is ten or twelve deep. It’s February, so let’s not rush to judgement. 2022 is ancient history. It […]

Proposed 2023 PLL Schedule: Multiple New Locations
The PLL has done a decent job hitting multiple different lacrosse hotbeds across the country when it comes to scheduling, however I don’t think it is perfect. Paul and Mike Rabil have the difficult task of picking locations that are most likely to turn a profit which sometimes means picking a safe location with little […]
