OT: Men's lax up to #9 in the Inside Lacrosse rankings

Hasn’t it been noted, previously, either the end of June or mid July for groundbreaking?? Could swear I’ve heard that several times.

Cali,are you hearing anything about groundbreaking and estimated completion date of the new center?

I did but don’t recall the specifics. I believe we are in by 20. Don’t quote me on that.

HPSS advantage is real. We are 19-1 over 3 seasons, losing only in triple OT to eventual champion Maryland. The boys just come alive there and get into that flow state that is hard to replicate on the road.

Winning away games in this league is very, very tough.

I was at that game, what a heartbreaker.

It was. But at the same time, at the time of the development of the program, it was inspirational. It was a massive game.

Coach Brecht will never talk about moral victories. He's all about the scoreboard. Someone wins, someone loses. Period.

But the kids on the team, though hurt, had to take confidence from that game. We laid a stinker in the next game, which wasn't a surprise. It was an emotional let down and Penn St. was home and playing very well.

We then went on to upset OSU who was playing great and ranked top 3. Even in a loss, the kids took a lot of confidence from Maryland. If there was any doubt before, they proved they could stand toe to toe and easily could have won that game, against what everyone perceived to be the best team in the country. Kids are confident now. Lacrosse is so competitive now, but there isn't team in college lacrosse that we can't beat. Being favored against #6 Hopkins is a testament to that. Le's also not forget, we are doing this without our most dynamic attackman. The team is really coming together after losing such an integral piece.

The game will be a battle. Wish I could go.

Have to make Sunday night a statement match.

I can't either given it is Easter. My boy will be home from school and it would be too much. Who does these schedules? Probably only game on Easter. I already have calendar marked for Penn State.

Winning. That's the only statement that matters now.

It's for TV. And it's the only game Sunday so there will be a lot of eyeballs on it considering it's at the end of the day.
