    Scott Bieda Promoted

    If the players brought in on attack play up to their capabilities, this will be a completely different offense. It looks a lot like the FF attack with Scott at X, Barolo as the righty hammer and Cameron as a lefty dodger / finisher. Honestly this attack has the potential to be even better...

    MLAX Portal Class Rankings

    Moore is the biggest add followed by Frattaroli. Kurdyla is most dangerous off ball or initiating above GLE. Having a true x will free him up to do just that. He will draw so much attention Frattaroli should get countless open looks.

    No. 19 Men’s Lacrosse Played on BTN Saturday Night at No. 9 Maryland

    I wouldn’t say fortunate. It is intentional. It’s a skill they recruit for and train when they arrive.

    No. 19 Men’s Lacrosse Played on BTN Saturday Night at No. 9 Maryland

    Brecht was ahead of the curve on two things — transfer portal and NASCAR. He was one of the first coaches to embrace the portal and used it to fill key gaps. And when we were one of only a few programs that fully committed to high speed defense to offense and recognized the impact of true...

    MLAX - RU vs JHU Last play in regulation

    Kelly’s decision making and execution there were elite. Having the wherewithal to drive to the cage and hold the slider to give Mongillo space for a step down was masterful. Also Mongillo hanging back slightly rather than streaking down the field took tremendous discipline. And that shot….

    No. 17/18 Men’s Lacrosse Hosted Johns Hopkins Sunday

    Great, gutsy win! Did what were had to do and should build confidence going forward. Two biggest criticisms I’ve had about this team have been poor off ball movement / lack of any offensive identity other than hero ball and very low shooting percentage. I believe we have addressed the first...

    No. 16/17 Men’s Lacrosse Hosts No. 7 Ohio State Saturday in Big Ten Opener

    I don’t like the OSU coach much but I have to give him credit. Benching Fyock was the difference in this game. He stays in we win going away. The backup stood on his ear. Not a lot of coaches would pull the reigning goalie of the year for giving up 3 goals in a half. He obviously knows his players.

    Men's Lacrosse this year was always about conference play.

    I don’t see a lot of upside to playing Albany. They are not in an area we recruit a ton, they are not an easy out but a win doesn’t do a lot for us and a loss would definitely hurt. OOC we need either a marquee name, an easy win or an area we recruit heavily, ideally some combination of those...

    Men’s Lacrosse returned to SHI Stadium Saturday to host Bellarmine

    The off ball movement has been light years ahead of where it’s been for a while. When you have a talent like Kurdyla, having an offense that knows how to move without the ball makes him almost impossible to defend. He is going to beat most defenders 1v1 so you have to slide early. But he has...

    Men’s Lacrosse returned to SHI Stadium Saturday to host Bellarmine

    Hopefully Princeton was a wake up call. Granted, SJU and Bellarmine were overmatched, but this is the best our offense has looked since the FF run.m, and this year’s 6 on 6 might be better. That team was lethal in transition and had guys that could win 1:1 almost at will but wasn’t all that...

    No. 19 Men’s Lacrosse Faces St. John’s Tuesday

    The reason LI schools aren’t better are the schools themselves. first off, while St. John’s is technically on Long Island, Queens is not LI. Most kids aren’t dreaming of spending their college years in Queens. It is a decent enough school but the campus leaves a lot to be desired. Up until not...

    Men’s Lacrosse, after four games - tough

    That’s right I forgot that he was playing out of position. Need to get him back.
