Just out of curiosity, why a neutral site game on Wed between Yale and Colgate? Better facility for winter night game?

Sorry, forgot to ask why Colgate and Yale, selected UAlbany for a game site.  I ask on Wednesday.

I have stewed about the lack of UAlbany MLAX home games, here is make up opportunity on February 21, 2024 between Colgate and Yale currently scheduled for the UAlbany Campus:

Feb 21 (Wed) 7 p.m.

 

 

Yale

Albany, N.Y. / UAlbany

 

Feb 21 (Wed) TBD

 

 

Colgate

Albany, N.Y./UAlbany

 

I will continue to monitor this as we all know, the weather can change this.  This is a rare opportunity to see the Patriot Conference and Ivy Conference best teams play here.

A reminder that Colgate and Yale MLA game at Casey Stadium.  I have not seen a reason for the neutral site game however Yale noted that this rivalry has meet previously in Florida on 3 occasions.  Their first meeting in lacrosse occurred in 1929.

I came to conclusion this evening, that Yale MLAX is at a different level of lacrosse.  After a short period of sloppy play and going down to Colgate 4-1, Yale bought out their Bulldog mentality and outscored Colgate 12-2.  The final score was Yale 21 - Colgate 11.

Yale's defense is relentless, and you can conclude that our youth is going to show on April 19 in New Haven.

Duke (4-0) takes the first spot in the Inside Lacrosse Media Poll following Notre Dame’s loss Sunday to Georgetown. The Irish slip to No. 6.

Eicher took the ball at X, tried to get topside, rolled back, saw a double-team and rolled back the other way, shooting and scoring the overtime game-winner in No. 5 Army’s 14-13 victory over No. 7 Syracuse.

The unofficial ACC-Ivy League Challenge unfolds this weekend with a Friday night Doubleheader on the ACC Network. Duke and North Carolina will host Penn and Princeton, respectively. That kicks off what looks to be an incredible weekend of lacrosse.

From Inside Lacrosse:

Johns Hopkins avenged a loss against Virginia at Homewood Field last season via an epic 16-14 in front of 3,434 fans at Klöckner Stadium. The win was part of a wild six days for lacrosse and the ACC in which No. 1 Notre Dame lost, Duke replaced them and lost, and so did the No. 2 Cavaliers.
