These are high school lacrosse players, based on what I learn, most will join the team in the autumn of 2024, and one will join the team autumn of 2025, and he may be the best prospect of the group.

Looks like a season opener in Syracuse with a spring trip to UVA.....

Working out of the Greyed Danes Palm Beach satellite office for the next three months. It was supposed to be four months but gotta be back in Upstate NY for the season opener in February (there’s something I bet no one else has ever said).

Also, looks like I’ll be planning a road trip to Charlottesville in the Spring…

Make it a good one.

Virginia schedule is out. Danes at Virginia  Tuesday March 19

From Inside Lacrosse:

In the last major meeting for lacrosse coaches before next summer's NCAA Rules Committee session, discussions around face-off mechanics and the shot clock after wins are gaining momentum heading into a rule-change year.

Anyone know when the schedule will be out. Past years deadline to renew season tickets was around Christmas. [last year my renewal invoice was 12/19.] Seems to me always had the schedule a month or so before before the renewal deadline and before general sale open to the public???????

Despite the efforts of a couple of people close to the program, Scott Marr is maintaining his status as being one of the last D1 coaches to release his team's schedule.

Coach Marr said schedule  is done. I dont know when it will be released.  Almost all of it is on other teams websites. I didn't see njit or umass lowell schedule on line yet

They were supposedly trying to work out a home/away equal schedule; instead of every other year being heavily one way or the other. Looks like NOT. 

Technically we will still owe Penn another trip there, and with Merrimack leaving AmEast; 2025 going to be even more difficult to fix this unbalanced schedule we've had for some years now??

update

Yale schedule is on their site. Their schedule has the same date as Merrimack.  Expect that to end up as friday/ Sunday weekend similar to previous seasons

Based on this, UAlbany can expect 2 out of conference home matches and 3 conference home matches in 2024.  Dslyank's concerns about the schedule imbalance is valid.
