Andy Towers Was a Beast in College, Brown '93

This week we’re doing a deep dive and looking at some of the games greats that could absolutely thrive under this year’s PLL Faceoff rule. The 32 second shot clock has transformed the league to the point where two-way middies are a hot commodity. It has also made people search for the almost extinct three-way […]

Petro to UNC – What’s Next for Syracuse?

In one of the more interesting moves in this years coaching cycle, this weekend saw Dave Pietramala leave Syracuse for a similar role with North Carolina. On the surface this could seem like a head scratcher, but in reality this move makes sense. From a personal standpoint, this reunites Petro with his sons Dominic and […]

Quint Kessenich’s Top 20: April 24, 2023

Hammer time. I’m astounded by Penn State, Army, and Johns Hopkins. Who could have predicted their rise? Growth and improvement are difficult to quantify. What’s the deal with Ohio State, Rutgers, Syracuse. and North Carolina? Feels like the bubble is shrinking every week as teams fail to cash in. Manhattan (10-4) clinched the top seed […]

Quint Kessenich’s Top 20: March 6, 2023

There’s little debate at the top where Virginia, Notre Dame and Cornell should comprise every pollsters #1-3 in no specific order.

The Big Ten and ACC received the message loud and […]

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. The new-look Georgetown will squash Hopkins, right? Wrong. “Mr. 1/15 is Jordan Evan’s 2.0.” I can’t believe that was a […]
