No. 6 Seed Rutgers Men's Lacrosse Beats No. 3 Seed Penn in NCAA Quarterfinals
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Again…it’s a 10-7 game…ours was 11-9…FOGO’s are playing very well across the board. Typical at this stage that’s all I’m saying.
It is absolutely astounding how shitty a network ESPN is. Again, instead of doing some post game interviews, recapping this game, showing highlights of yesterday’s games, etc. they are showing a 3 year old puff piece on college football…… mascots! WTF???!
And genuflecting towards Touchdown Jesus while worshiping Notre Dame.
Depth helped Cornell today over UD, with their 2nd offensive midfield getting as much PT as the 1st, and capably handling it. Not surprising for a Big 3 (or perhaps Big 2 this year) conference team. RU had the same advantage over Penn via the portal, and will have it again next Saturday versus Cornell.
Took until the start of this game to decide who I want to win this game. Can’t bring myself to root for any ACC team. Go Terps!
I’m having the same dilemma. My son wants UVA but I just don’t know if I can do it even if it’s an easier path for RU
Easy, just become a Princeton fan next week.
Jeez. It’s a bloodbath. No sense worrying about Maryland until we face them.
The announcers were saying yesterday was a big day for Jersey and the other announcer said “yeah, Princeton and Butgers”. I played it back 3 times loud. I realize he miss but annoying. Nobody probably caught it anyway.
Lasalla started strong but Weirman adjusted. Nunes hasn't let in a soft goal yet. But it doesn't matter. Nobody beats Maryland when they play this way.
Maryland is freaking absurd. Maybe a pro team can beat them, but no one at the college level can.
It's amazing how much better than everyone else Maryland is. This is a Virginia team that is very talented and they are just humiliating them.
The only other team that plays like Maryland is….. Rutgers. We play very similar styles and we both do it well. The biggest difference is that Maryland shooting is lethal. They hardly ever miss. We create nearly as many opportunities as they do but every shooter they have is deadly accurate.
There are other things too. On offense they rarely let the ball die in their stick like we sometimes do, they almost always have great flow and spacing and they are maybe the only team that is more “positionless” than us. Defensively the biggest difference is they are better on second slides. But their shooting is what sets them apart from every other team and allows them to jump out to and build on big leads so quickly. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen, especially when combined with how solid they are everywhere else.

Maryland is a pro team. We are a great college team. So are some others.
Maryland is something other than. To beat them would take an effort not seen since the Americans beat the USSR in Lake Placid.
Uva has a great faceoff guy and he got abused.
Worry about them later though.
I’m not saying Cornell game is a lock but we match up well with them.
But we both know Notre Dame would beat all of them [/sarcasm].
This is actually a player safety issue and the fact that he was in the play with his helmet off should have probably killed the play
Kid grabbed his helmet and was jumping in front of the shot before it was even on. This team wants it. Win or lose, they are leaving everything they have on the field. It’s all you can ask.
