Is VPI in a position to add men’s lacrosse to their Athletic Department? They seem to have a interest in building a successful women’s program ( like BC). Speaking of BC, it has always puzzled me that the Eagles do not have a D-1 men’s program. Is Title IX the primary hurdle for both schools?Quote:

They follow this up by hiring Dave Pietramala, former Johns Hopkins head coach and nemesis of the mid-2000s Duke national runners-up, as the defensive coordinator.
Quite the coaching staff the Orange have put together.
Based on our post-Final 4 performances, I'm not going to complain. I think we just scored again.Quote:

There are not that many women’s teams that can bring in those numbers.Quote:

Certainly some schools have added men’s lax in the last couple decades, but it seems like they may be larger state schools that can also field more women’s teams. Someone correct me if I have mis-stated this.
marvelous...large kid, 6-2, 195, we'll have some brawn on attack next year with him, O'Neill and Williams...Quote:

he was their leading scorer in the 2020 truncated season, and they played a top notch schedule, beating Duke, narrowly losing to Merlin, also played highly ranked PSU...I'm confident he's a keeper..Quote:

We also return two juniors (Garrett Smith and Andrew Bonafede) but I don't know much about either except that Bonafede was ranked 42 in the class of 2018 and was a 4* so presumably he is pretty good.
Adler was Duke’s first All-American in goal since 2005. We’ve won national championships and made Final Fours with some pretty non-legendary guys between the pipes.Quote:

Ella Bonafede had a nice career for the Duke women.
ICYMI, Gary Gait has brought in Dave Pietramala as defensive coordinator. Wonder if they’ll go at it in the master’s division at the Lake Placid tournament.
ETA: don’t buy the hype about Petro being the best defenseman ever. I’m old enough to have see Bruce Arena play, and he was better.
