I would like to point out that the AmEast is NOT in the play-in-game as some have speculated. In case anyone is interested, the play-in is the lowly maac and OH MY the CAA.

{ I have been saying for years the CAA is NOT a step up in lacrosse; and with the departure of UMass even less so.}

{ps. I'd like to point out former NEC members Bryant won AmEast & St Joe won regular season A10 only to lose in their tournament.}

No complaints with Delaware this week. They beat the seaclowns of stony brook to make the play in game. Then demolished the lowly maac team

ps. speaking of the NEC; LeMoyne officially announced their expected move to D1, joining the NEC. That should expedite the NEC reforming Lacrosse. Originally expected to reform 2024-25 season, but now it may begin again 2023-24 depending on which schools come back. Certainly Merrimack will return; Bryant most likely staying in AmEast; A10's years attempt to offer lacrosse, might be a failed experiment [probably lose Hobart, St. Bonnie minimally}??

Sadly, Bryant is doing nothing to show that America East Lacrosse is on the road back.  John Hopkins has scored ten straight goals and lead at the half 12-3. No upset here...  So far, teams that UAlbany played in their OOC schedule have lost, Yale and Maryland.  Cornell will play later today.

John Hopkins 22 - Bryant 8, after re-checking Bryant schedule, the Bulldogs' season was no preparation for today's game and the score proves that.  Further, lends no help to the conference, in general, towards recruiting better players for lacrosse.

The Lacrosse World will someday, call this "The Albany Curse", if you played UAlbany and won in 2023 plus made the NCAA MLAX Tournament, your team lost in the 1st round.
