Expectations for Aimone and Rizzotti were already reasonably high due to their previous success so I am pleased to see Ringer stepping up and adding his name to that list!Solid work by Ringer, Aimone and Rizzotti
This is good to hear. But I have a question about fall ball -- does Brown train as much as we do in the fall? Serious question, as I don't have any insight into practice schedules in lacrosse, let alone in the Ivy League.
Just wondering if this is an "apples to apples" comparison of teams (though, regardless of the answer, it's still great to hear how sharp our team looked).
Fall scrimmage is defined as a day of competition against another school. And it is dates so you can have multiple scrimmages on the same day against different teams. But, inter-squad scrimmages do not count against the number.One difference I can think of is that only one fall scrimmage is allowed. So the Rutgers scrimmage tour this fall probably wouldn't pass muster unless there is an exception for intersquad. Major factor for Dartmouth, though not Brown, is the 1 mandatory summer semester which is offset by taking a semester at some point during a year. Between that and a few football players you don't come close to the regular season roster.

Sounded almost as bad as the beat down you gave me and your boy on the links. Ouch!Hope my RU crew is good. I talked to a dad on the Brown side today. He said RU gave them a pretty good beat down. Good stuff because the Big Ten is absolutely loaded with talent a strong teams…
One last thing…Go Lions!!!!! #MNF 😜
I believe Princeton and Cornell have had two scrimmages but could be wrong.Are the Ivies more restrictive?

I know the Ivys can’t start Spring practice until a bit later but I don’t believe there are different restrictions on practice in the fall. At least not that I am aware of. Got a look at the stats that were kept that have been sent around. We put one on them. I doubt it was practice time and more we are just better. Things are very vanilla in the fall. If there is ever a time where strategy is out the window and you are just lining up going talent on talent, this is it.
Not generally, and it is the NCAA that defines contest dates. Lacrosse has a total number of dates in which they can compete, outside tournaments. That is a total number so if that number is say 17, a team can schedule 17 total contests including scrimmages in any one year. So if you have 1 fall scrimmage and 1 spring scrimmage you have 15 regular season games. Some schools prefer to save their contest dates for the spring while others will use multiple in the fallAre the Ivies more restrictive?
Thanks, that was a much appreciated break from my afternoon conference calls prior to my late afternoon conference calls.A message from Brian and some highlights from the scrimmage. A point of emphasis was put on shooting in the offseason and it's only one scrimmage but it seems to be better. We have some snipers out there. I'm not sure how it will relate to wins and losses but it's pretty clear we have more overall firepower than we did last year. Colin Kelly is going to add that outside dimension we had with Kirst and Bartolo. Kid slings it in that category.
Ha! That was such a fun couple days! Gotta do it again soonSounded almost as bad as the beat down you gave me and your boy on the links. Ouch!
Shane is a dynamic player and an elite shooter. He’s multiple in his abilities and is very hard to guard…really a very very good playerThanks, that was a much appreciated break from my afternoon conference calls prior to my late afternoon conference calls.
Have a feeling we'll be hearing a lot of "They have no answer for Knobloch" this year. We also forget how close they were last season so hoping this depth helps out a lot.

First, that is my favorite camera angle. It is crazy how much can be gleaned. Man did those guys put on a clinic from 10-12 yards out. That's my favorite clip in a looong time.
Outstanding analysis, thanks Cali.You can see clearly from the video, in the face of pressure, he was quickly able to asses that he had two guys covering him leaving someone open after they jumped the pick. To Princeton's credit, it was the right guy to leave open, even with the picker falling down. The fatal flaw for Princeton was the defenseman was cheating slightly to the adjacent, which is where almost every midfielder in the country not named Shane Knobloch would have passed the ball. It's would have been the right play- you can spin it from there. However, Shane Knobloch had the ball. Between the adjacent D man cheating ever so slightly and the crease Dman having his stick on the wrong side of his body, Shane was able to, in a nano second, determine that and throw it to the far post spot where Kulas made a great finish with his offhand. This is an extremely high level play. The kind you typically only see at the professional level. I am not sure what is more impressive, the ability to see that pass, or the physical gifts to execute it. The finish again was very high level. Overall, you won't see too many plays at the D1 lacrosse level that encompass such advanced playmaking.
I think that’s exactly what should happenYea, only you are my partner next time!
