This team is so fun to watch. They play very fast and push the ball at all times.
 
7-3 at the half. This team has a lot of room to improve, which is a good thing when you consider they are winning.
 
7-3 1/2 time Heningburg soph from Maplewood having a good day so far 3G 1A
 
Heninburg is very sharp today. Charalambides is having an off day shooting, but was able to dunk 1 or two. Nice to see Trasolini get on the board this season. Hopefully a sign he has healed.
 
9-5 end of 3. Very sloppy quarter on our part. Edelmann took one to the b@lls. Let's hope he is a ok. Alleyne is in the net.
 
Good win. Keep it going men. I too didn't realize Fairfield had beaten us 4 times in row.
 
Lots to work on, but this team is finishing. 3-0. Wagner should be tune up on Tuesday with a Monmouth next Sat., which I am sure the boys will be pumped for considering last year.

Stony Brook the following week looming large. They are a legit squad. Will be a very exciting game. They play like we do.

Hopefully, Edlemann is ok. YOu want to keep the goalie situation stable, and he is playing well. Alleyene came in and performed very well too. Got to give him props.

Faceoffs need to be addressed, and some things on the defensive end. Much easier to do when you are winning.
 
Stats today. Things that stick out that we need to do better on are extra man opportunities and faceoffs.

Love that we get a lot of shots off. We won the groundball battle, which is excellent. We also had single digit turnovers, which is great considering the higher risk style we play. A few of those looked sun related as it seemed tough on the field today at certain times. Best stat of all. 3-0.

Northwestern does not field a men's team. Maryland and Johns Hopkins are the best BIG programs. Not much separation between OSU, Penn State, Rutgers or Michigan.
 
Hopkins is the single most traditional power in the sport. They have more championships than anyone.
 
Hopkins plays only one Div 1 sport -- lacrosse. And they are the only one-sport team in the Big Ten. Very unusual arrangement, but they bring high quality lacrosse.
 
I would equate it to the a conference taking ND football only. It's a good deal for the B1G and Hopkins.

Not sure why I am writing this, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Johns Hopkins has a sweeter financial deal with the Big Ten than Rutgers. It has to be a bigger cut than what Hopkins football and baseball and basketball programs get from the Div-III Centennial Conference, which Hopkins dominates with their rosters put together with national recruiting and occasional Div-1 transfers. Hopkins football team this year had 6 linemen 300 pounds or more, more suited for the Big Ten than the Centennial Conference. Hopkins plays to win.

They definitely don't have a sweeter deal than we do. They had to join a conference. It was mutually beneficial, but allowing their lax teams in our conference was the win they needed.
 
Cali ... Hopkins hosts the 2016 Big Ten men's lacrosse tournament. Maryland had it last year. Does Rutgers host it in 2017?
 
Thanks. Did not realize the three pre NCAA titles.

Twister, I believe so.


Hinson, not 3 more, 3x more. I don't know the number exactly, but it's a big difference. It's old money v new money type thing.

Love the things people like to throw against the wall around here lol....I can't even begin to fathom what would make you think of something this over-the-top.

I love lax more than any sport, but it's not moving the needle on conference revenue generation. Hopkins has a deal with ESPN which they were allowed to keep. They play in a premier conference and get to keep tied to Maryland. We got a traditional program and a sixth team for an auto bid. It was a win win, and there may be some extra rev per school from BTN once lax is monitized, which it may be now I don't know. But Hop didn't get any incredible offer beyond that. They needed us in ways more than we needed them.

Wasn't suggesting Hopkins got more overall money than Rutgers. Did Hopkins have to re-do existing TV deals and deals with companies like Nike or whoever to fit Big Ten revenue sharing arrangements? Is Rutgers getting similar Big Ten lacrosse revenue as Hopkins?
 
Apparel companies don't make deals with conferences. Though I could see that happening in the future.

The schools have individual deals and don't share that. Wish they did based on the deals OSU and Michigan just signed!

The schools don't get "x" per sport, from the B1G, they get a lump sum. How each school uses that money is up to them.

That's not entirely accurate. Schools in B1G hockey split the revenue that hockey generates. Member schools who don't field the sport don't get a share. I assume the same for lacrosse.

Interesting but If that were the case then schools would get all sorts of different amounts, every year, based on the number of sports they play. Are you sure about that info?
 
Not necessarily. Most sports aren't turning a profit so there isn't revenue to disperse. That's what I heard from a reliable source. It makes sense. If that sport is generating revenue, schools who don't field teams shouldn't earn a profit from those who do and are taking the risk and expense of playing that sport. Here is an article, with the associated tweet being specific.

Interesting score today, in a season full of them. Army loses to #3 Syracuse 9-8 at Syracuse, including hitting a pipe to tie in the closing seconds.

Parity in lacrosse is here. 20 years ago you would never would have seen u ranked teams hang with and beat top 10 teams like you do today.
