2022 lax schedule

OK the schedule is out and Scott is calling it the toughest in his 22 years. 4 top 25 teams and a national runner up. Plus three Ivy's who would have certainly been top 25 even 10's if they played. My question is Scott nuts?? I saw the scrimmage and unless he has some hidden long sticks somewhere; how is UA going to stop any of these teams from scoring a TON. Pretty sure UA can/will compete offensively with the likes of this schedule; but I am scared to death about the DEFENSE-DEFENSE-DEFENSE????

It should be fun if nothing else🙄🤔.

Just saw this

May be an image of text that says 'Non-Conference SOS Non-Conference SOS way to measure the quality of team's schedule outside of their conference. To calculate, collect the Elo ratings of all of team's NC opponents at the time of ne game) and take the average. M 1714 1671 1669 1667 1655 S 1639 1634 1631 1613 1607 via LacrosseReference.com'

Inside LaCrosse called UA's schedule perhaps the most intriguing in the country. I wonder if by "intriguing" they mean; can UA HANDLE the 3rd most difficult schedule in the country. It should be fun to see if UA is up to it? I HOPE they are. Like I said in my fall ball posts; pretty sure offensively UA can compete with anyone. Defense being the BIG Unknown.

 UA"s first game is NOT until the 3rd weekend in February; at least a week or two after pretty much everyone else. Anyone know or hear about any scrimmages beforehand??

Season just around the corner. As "Five Alive" {old movie} would say "Need INPUT!"   Any and all news appreciated Lacrosse fans. Thanks

What the heck is happening to the AmEast. This is a conference that has had multiple years with TWO teams represented in the NCAA Tournament. That is NO small accomplishment with the ACC locking up 5 at large bids every year [there is no auto-qualifier in the ACC.]  That leaves 3-5 [depending on 1,2 or no play-in games] at large positions for the rest of the 8 leagues in the country. So having multiple teams from the same league in any given year is very rare and difficult to do. 

Now the latest pre-season poll All-American team has only 2 players mentioned (1 third team from VT and 1 VT honorable mention.)  In the top 100 incoming freshman poll only 1 AmEast player #82 @ umbc. Has the league rolled over and died?? Has everyone given-up on this league. Isn't this the league that almost had a 16 seed knock off a 1 in basketball and then become the first league to actually do so.

Has the latest shake-up beginning with Texas & Oklahoma & now with the CAA, filtered all the way down to the AmEast, in such a way that it has become a non-entity?? This was/is a league that has NCAA Tournament WINS in many sports; including basketball, lacrosse, volleyball, field hockey, softball, baseball and more.  Also multiple individual NCAA honors in track.

Is the AmEast going to roll over and die????? Opinions, Thoughts.

{ps pretty sure the CAA. has had an at-large lacrosse entry only one or two times in its history, might even be 0 at larges.}

Why do you think the AE commissioner left......in 2021... did she see the writing on the wall....finally Stony Brook has done a bit of its own thing in the past....meaning with football...left the NEC for that conference in the "south"....went to CAA when a realignment happened there with a better football opportunity....always felt the America East was fragile in particular after Boston University left for the Patriot Conference.

With lacrosse....more teams are playing the sport....dare I say parity...

OK LAX fans. Time for some input here. Scrimmage at Colgate Saturday 2/5 @ 4:30. Anyone know if this is open to the public and does Colgate have an indoor facility of some sort (could be still pretty cold/snowy 2/5)?? A couple years back we had a winter scrimmage @ Colgate with them listed as home team but it was played at Afrims for weather reasons??

First media pools have Vermont #17; UA getting top 20 votes. No other AmEast in top 30 say. AmEast coaches pool have vt#1; brook, UA, umbc all separated by a point.

Marr in an article in the TU said concerned with the offense {No dominant threat.} He felt the returning in-close D and goal tending was strong. Hate to disagree with coach, but what I saw in the fall, both attack & midfield offense was DEEP and proficient. The in-close and two way middies could not stop a nose bleed?? HOPE I'M WRONG about the D and think Scott just throwing smoke screens about the O? He also said he was very please about face-off progress and that would be a continued emphasis winter practice.

Also, curious about brook moving to caa and lax post season ban?

That's all I got. Looking for thoughts/opinions/news on all the above and MORE.
