If you haven’t been following the In Your Face LaxCast, do you really love college? Sorry to question you, but no one is keeping tabs on the NCAA like hosts Andy Towers and Ryan Danehy. We’re not endorsing betting (ya know, Don’t Bet On It). We just get jacked up when talking D1 lacrosse odds!
Each week we are breaking down the lines and making picks based on the Maverik Division 1 Media Poll. When a Top 20 team plays, In Your Face crew will have eyes on it. You can bet on that.
On Wednesday the fellas covered the Lax Vegas Lines for Week Five, Wednesday (3/1) through Sunday (3/5). The three games from the middle of the week are now behind us. Towers took another step ahead of RD when Virginia and High Point combined for 30 goals. Both hook at hit in the in-state rivalry when the two teams were a goal and a half short of hitting the over/under.

RD: Over, Maryland
AT: Over, Notre Dame
“This is a really tough game. The fact that [Maryland] is going to play at Notre Dame, I think that that’s a really tough place to play for anyone. Maryland has proved that they’re willing to play fast. They’re gonna be a really tough team to match up with. The reality is, Gerry Byrnes’ defense, they don’t really need to win one on one match ups because they’re so well versed in play as one group. I think that they’re gonna slow Maryland down offensively, for sure…
I give the edge in goal to Notre Dame with Shane Doss. Maryland is gonna struggle to cover Ryder Garnsey and I think that Notre Dame is gonna score some goals. Even though Maryland is going in as the higher ranked team, I think that Notre Dame is gonna find a way to win this game.” – Andy Towers
“The most important thing for Maryland is the first 15 seconds of every single possession. Get the ball to number one. You get the ball to him, everything takes care of itself. [Rambo] can feed, he can dodge, he can shoot. He can shoot out of the dodge, he can shoot time and room. He can bully you around. He’s always a threat off ball. He’s a scary player. Get the ball to one.
Notre Dame on the other hand won’t have an answer, cause the hardest thing to do is to play transition defense and if they start fast in the first 10-15 seconds of the possession, they’re gonna have a lot of success versus a Maryland team. They’re gonna dominate the face-off X, despite Notre Dame’s success at the face-off. There’s no one that can stop with the Henningsen right now. Expect him to play. This is a big game!” – Ryan Danehy
