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.

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 […]

Quint Kessenich’s Top 20: February 6, 2023
I can’t remember a year that features so many championship caliber teams. Usually, it’s a small elite handful of three to six teams who could go the distance. 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 […]

Brennan Kamish: Player Spotlight
This season the Whipsnakes drafted Roman Puglise in the first round back in May. Unfortunately for Puglise, he sustained an injury that has sidelined him for the season. His loss has been another rookie’s gain for Brennan Kamish. During his time at Rutgers, Brennan Kamish was one of the top “NASCAR” midfielders the last two […]
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 […]
