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. 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 […]
Syracuse vs Maryland 2023 Lacrosse Preview
Lacrosse fans now know from this point on until May, the best way to spend your Saturday is on your couch watching college lacrosse.

Let’s see those betting slips from the weekend. Each of the top three teams in the country entered the weekend as heavy favorites.

By the time Saturday […]
Quint Kessenich’s Top 20: February 13, 2023
Maryland, Georgetown, BU, Duke, and Denver all lost on enemy soil. It was a forgettable weekend for the Big East who nearly went winless, salvaged by a Sunday Villanova win over Penn State. The Clemson Women’s Lacrosse program debuted. Ivy League teams waited out a final week. This week, everyone is activated. Mother Nature was […]
Don’t Sleep on Albany: College Lacrosse Best Bets
A successful first week of bets prompted a second edition of college lacrosse bets. Hopkins leaned on their athleticism and physicality to take down Jacksonville, while Denver and Syracuse each won their home-openers, respectively. DraftKings has released lines for 27 games this weekend so there’s plenty to choose from. This week, I’ve decided to add […]
Who Will Dethrone Maryland in the Big Ten?
Maryland has been the class of Big Ten Lacrosse for a number of years now. After making it to the national championship game in 2021 and winning it all in 2022, it’s easy to say that the Terps are still the team to beat. But Maryland wasn’t the only team that made the NCAA Tournament […]
Michigan Men’s Lacrosse 2023 Season Preview

They have top-rated academics and an athletic department committed to the sport with a dedicated lacrosse-only facility built in 2018. Despite these supports in place, the program has struggled to […]
