Lax: The 2021 Season

Mercer? I hardly know 'er!

Very sloppy play by our team. Countless number of bad passes and unforced errors.

Rainy day lacrosse. Passes sailing out of messy pockets.

Great to see Wilson Stephenson out there.

17-8 final in favor of Duke. Second half was sloppy but the game was never in doubt.

True dat!

[CrazyNotCrazie]

Loved seeing us jump out to an early lead rather than having to come back. Not the prettiest second half but I will take it. Sowers made some great plays. Is he a natural lefty or righty? He seemed to primarily go left but one of his goals from a bit further out was righty. I know that most guys at this level can use either hand but it is usually fairly obvious what their dominant hand is.

What channel is the game on next weekend?

Since it's an away game, it's on some network controlled by Towson: LSN or ISN. (I can't tell which one because the logo is bad.) There is no game time listed yet, but I have to think that February temperatures in Baltimore would mandate a day game.

This link perhaps? Surprised we are going to Towson but maybe it’s because it’s a recruiting hot bed?

The #2 Heels struggled to beat a good High Point team today despite clobbering them at the X 30-5.

I keep thinking High Point is an appliance. (I know they're pretty good)...

Didn't High Point beat us last year at the beginning of the season? Or was that the year before? Who can remember that far back!

It was the second game of the 2019 season. That year we went 13-5 and lost to UVA in the national semis. So the High Point game was definitely not a high point of the season...

Part 2 of USLacrosse Magazine’s Chuck Sherwood profile is up. Well worth reading.

Neither Bill nor Mary were able to trouble the Duke women on Wednesday. Duke won, 24-8.

Women open ACC play against VaTech on Sunday. 2:00 p.m. eastern on ACCN.

Duke and the cheaters are 1 and 2, respectively, in the latest IL Media Poll. We’re on a collision course.

Notre Dame needs to pick it up so that the ACC has the top 5 in the national polls. (Now I see why I should pay attention to any and all ACC games.)

ND will be a tough nut to crack. Gerry Byrne may have moved on (he’s now the head coach at Harvard), but they still have a bunch of bada** defenders, and Entenmann is their best GK since Scotty Rodgers.

Does Entenmann defend the goal with a stack of chocolate frosted donuts?
