NCAA Championship Weekend Preview
Oh, how the season flies by. The college lacrosse season moves like a blink. In early February, teams are grinding through freezing practices and games, breath visible in the air, the whole journey still ahead of them. And then, almost instantly, the cold is gone, the stakes rise, and every game feels like it carries a season’s weight.

By late May, only four teams remain. The noise is louder, the weather warmer, and the margin for error gone. Championship Weekend arrives like a rush, the final sprint toward a trophy that suddenly feels both impossibly close and hard‑earned. It’s one of the sport’s quiet wonders: a season that starts in the cold and ends in a blaze, faster than anyone expects.

D-Fly and Dixie enlist friends Richard Chizmar and Evan Washburn to help get you set for what should be a fantastic weekend of lacrosse in Charlottesville. First, best-selling author and Virginia Lacrosse parent Chizmar weighs in on the coaching news and gives elite Charlottesville restaurant recommendations.

Once again, IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello press record during the fourth quarter of the final game of the weekend — this time it wasn't as dramatic as Duke closed out Georgetown, 16-6, to become the fourth team to punch its ticket to Saturday's NCAA Semifinals in Charlottesville, Va.

Rewinding to Saturday, they begin with Syracuse's dramatic 13-11 win over North Carolina, replete with injury drama, an important missed (non-reviewable call), a field surface controversy and most importantly, vindication for the sport's biggest star? From there, they dive into Notre Dame's pull-away win over Johns Hopkins, highlighted by Josh Yago's legacy game. They unpack Princeton's similar pull-away win over Penn State to start Sunday, itself marked by injury drama.

The latest episode of the D‑Fly & Dixie Podcast arrives just in time for quarterfinal weekend, and the guys bring back longtime friend of the show Christian Swezey to help break down all four matchups. They open with a look back at a wild first round — including Johns Hopkins’ gritty road win at Cornell, where the Blue Jays “won a playoff game on the road with a goalie who made three saves” and Luke Martin earned two bananas from the Blue Jays’ banana crew. From travel‑day chaos to behind‑the‑scenes ops decisions, Christian shares what really shapes NCAA tournament success.

The crew then dives into each quarterfinal, starting with Hopkins–Notre Dame, where the Irish’s defensive backbone and the emergence of goalie Thomas Ricciardelli take center stage. They examine whether Syracuse can finally break through against UNC after two losses, debate Penn State–Princeton as potentially the weekend’s best game, and unpack how Georgetown’s toughness — galvanized by the team rallying around teammate James Caretta, who is battling cancer — has fueled the Hoyas’ surge into the final eight.

This week’s episode drops a day earlier than usual - right as conference tournament semifinals begin, and D‑Fly and Dixie waste no time diving into the most pivotal stretch of the season. With half the country already done and the other half fighting for their postseason lives, they run through every conference with Inside Lacrosse editor‑in‑chief Matt Kinnear, breaking down favorites, upset formulas, and the ripple effects each result could have on Selection Sunday. From the ACC’s star‑studded slugfest in Charlotte to Albany’s push for another America East title to the A‑Sun’s three‑way deadlock, the crew sorts out which teams are locks for May, which are bid‑stealers, and which storylines — like Duke’s at‑large hopes — hinge on results happening hundreds of miles away.

Michigan’s leading scorer, sophomore attackman Nick Roode, joins the show for a wide‑ranging and genuinely fun conversation. He talks about growing up in Peterborough as the son of WWE and TNA star Bobby Roode, sharing stories about taking fan photos for his dad, watching him flip from hero to heel, and what it’s like to have a parent who’s famous everywhere except at home, where he’s simply “Dad.”

Nick walks through his path from Peterborough minor lacrosse to Culver Military Academy, explaining how box lacrosse shaped his game, how Culver’s culture sharpened his discipline, and how a fall play day at Brother Rice unexpectedly put him on Michigan’s radar. He reflects on battling injuries his first two seasons — including breaking his hand mid‑game against Maryland — and how being forced to watch, teach, and study film elevated his lacrosse IQ and prepared him for this breakout year.

He also discusses Michigan’s resilience after a seven‑game losing streak, the leadership group’s emphasis on belief and process, and why the Wolverines feel like they’re hitting their stride at exactly the right time. On the lighter side, Nick drafts an all‑Culver sixes team (heavy on Peterborough legends), reveals his devotion to buffalo chicken in all forms, and explains why Tommy Renner and Max Bonner are responsible for the most electric aux performances in the locker room.

Matt, Mark and Dan of course spotlight the most compelling matchups of the week, including High Point–St. Joe’s in the A‑10, Providence’s chance to shake up the Big East, and a heavyweight Big Ten semifinal between Penn State and Maryland. With discussions ranging from Tewaaraton implications to faceoff‑driven upset potential to which teams are peaking at the right moment, the episode sets the table for a chaotic, high‑stakes weekend across Division I lacrosse.

A longtime NLL executive who started coaching as a teenager, Govett's goal is to put readers at ease, helping them understand that it's OK to not know what they're doing (and feel overwhelmed as a result), and that they should reframe their approach "skills and drills" to "being the CEO of a small organization."

Their analysis covers Richmond–High Point, Georgetown–Villanova, Harvard–Cornell, Duke–UNC, Syracuse–Notre Dame, and Maryland–Rutgers, with each host offering predictions and broader context for Selection Sunday.

Cornell’s leading scorer, junior attackman Willem Firth, joins the show to talk about his journey from Ottawa to Hill Academy to Cornell. He reflects on Cornell's first national championship in 48 years and shares how the team approached the 2026 season. He emphasized the team's focus on building a new identity rather than replicating last year's success, highlighting a balanced six-man offense and a strong defensive unit anchored by goalie Matthew Tully. Willem discussed his background in Ottawa, his time at the prestigious Hill Academy where he was coached by legends like Jeff Teat and Brody Merrill, and how that experience shaped him as a player. D-Fly & Willem drafted a Hill Academy alumni Sixes Team that could compete with any in the world. He also touched on the upcoming high-stakes Ivy League game against Harvard, which could earn Cornell the No. 1 seed and home-hosting rights.

They know this is the third week in a row they're saying it, but IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello are back to discuss what was probably the best weekend of the college lacrosse season so far.

They start with The Rivalry, where Matt Collison and Oran Gelinas combined to power the Blue Jays to a big — but controversial — win over Maryland. They transition to Columbus where Ohio State withstood an ill-timed timeout call to top Michigan, then transition to Cambridge, where Colin Burns sealed the Tigers' game-of-the-week win over Harvard.

From there, they recap the ACC, including Carolina's OT win in Charlottesville and Notre Dame's gutting win at Duke, which leaves the Blue Devils reeling in the NCAA Tournament race. Finally, to Syracuse, where Joey Spallina became the leading scorer in Orange program history.

It's the best time of year on the lacrosse calendar — every high school and college team's season has started and (as far as we know) no team's season has ended (and that's tough with teams in Minnesota and New Hampshire starting so late and teams in South Carolina ending so early).

So what better time than now for IL's Terry Foy to bring on former Denver coach and 3d Lacrosse founder Jamie Munro to share his thoughts on the season (particularly dialed in on Princeton's men's team and Northwestern's women's team) before diving on his methodology behind his business, JM3 Lacrosse. Over the last 10 years, Jamie has learned about the field of ecological dynamics, and that leads to a coaching style known as a "constraints-led approach," which more acutely manifests in a "principles-based" way of playing.

If you're looking for an academic and theoretical lacrosse conversation to start your Sunday, this one is it.

The episode opens with D‑Fly and Dixie setting up a massive weekend in college lacrosse, highlighted by six Top‑20 matchups and a marquee Patriot League showdown between Loyola and Army. After some light banter about last week’s picks and their “Give & Go” Ravens debate, the hosts dive into a long, impassioned discussion about the UMBC coaching controversy, detailing the months‑long suspension, reinstatement, and sudden termination of head coach Ryan Moran.

Loyola senior goalkeeper Max Watkinson joins the show to talk about his journey from local St. Paul’s standout to the Greyhounds’ anchor in net, his unexpected path into high‑level lacrosse, and the program’s resurgence in 2026. He discusses launching his own podcast (Crease Talk), the patience required while waiting behind veteran goalies, and how competing with players like Rutgers’ Carden Stoller shaped his development.

Manley is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year back in the MLL days playing for Tim Soudan for the Rattlers (he actually started playing for Soudan at the club level before he got to Duke, where he won a NCAA title in 2010), and made it to three title games in 2014, 2015 and 2018. Manley discussed how he originally thought about retiring two years ago before Soudan drafted Brennan O'Neill and traded for Pat Kavanagh, re-energizing his efforts these past couple seasons. Rosie and Kevin also recapped the semifinal victories for the New York Atlas against the Waterdogs and Denver against California, setting the stage for what promises to be an epic clash in the title game on Sept. 14.

Around this time every year, dozens of parents of high school prospects ask IL's Terry Foy some version of the question, "How does recruiting work?"

In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing with Fairfield head coach Andrew Baxter.

Entering year seven as the Stags' head coach, Baxter is coming off of his best season yet and had arguably built his best recruiting class with the ’26s. But make no mistake — he didn't recruit that group on the back of his team's on-field success; they were verballed before the season started. It suggests a coach who's gotten comfortable in his surroundings.

Chris Rosenthall and Kevin Brown recap a thrilling PLL Quarterfinal as the Philadelphia Waterdogs and California Redwoods advanced with 14-12 wins over Maryland and Carolina, respectively.

From Philly's attack trio doing all the scoring to which playoff defense we trust more between the Waterdogs and the Atlas, only one thing is for certain for the East : make sure you're at your seat (either the sofa or at Subaru Park) early to catch all the scoring.

Rosie and Kevin then recap how the Redwoods got it done against the Chaos and welcome on rookie defenseman Cole Kastner to talk about being a California native playing for his state team, playing with and against former ACC foes and how this Redwoods squad is playing their best lacrosse at the right time.

Rosie and Kevin wrap up with some keys to victory for each semifinalist and some predictions for the action set for Labor Day Monday.

In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing with Mercer head coach Ryan Danehy.

With a career as an assistant that included stops in the Big Ten, Ivy and Patriot Leagues and nearly two years as the national director for one of the sport's biggest high school club networks, Danehy has a wealth of perspectives as he's now in year three as a head coach in the ASUN. As a result, Danehy and Foy cover a wave of topics, probably mostly focused on the role geography plays in his strategy, but also touching on things like NIL and the future of DI lacrosse.

In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing with Richmond head coach Dan Chemotti.

The only coach in program history, Chemotti has adjusted to leveling up the Spiders' targeted prospects in the wake of newfound heights, but what will it be like recruiting off the back of the program's first NCAA Tournament win? And what about doing so in the post-House Settlement landscape? As a sidebar, Chemotti led the men's coaches association committee that expanded the mid-summer dead period in 2026 and beyond, and he details what went into that process and outcome.

One of the most experienced coaches still at it, Danowski traces his experience from being at grad assistant with Columbia's football team to C.W. Post to Hofstra and now to Duke, where he and his staff routinely rack up No. 1 recruiting classes. How does he do it? And how has it evolved. All that and more.

On Tuesday, veteran sportswriter S.L. Price released his latest book called "The American Game: History and Hope in the Country of Lacrosse." Published by Grove Atlantic, it tells "the scintillating story of lacrosse — the game invented by the Haudenosaunee, played with more passion than any other, that stubbornly mirrors America’s ongoing struggle with inclusivity."

About a month before the book's release, he talked to IL CEO Terry Foy about some of the most pertinent topics — like what drew him to lacrosse and why he wanted to write a book about the sport — to his opinions on some of the most pertinent forward-looking questions — like whether he thinks the Haudenosaunee will be invited to LA28.

WEEKEND PREVIEWS
Eight games in our preview this week, with six Top 20 matchups and two Top 10 games and the best rivalry in the sport to highlight this week’s schedule.

FRIDAY
No. 18 Rutgers (6-7, 2-2 B1G) at No. 8 Penn State (8-3, 2-2), 6 p.m., Big Ten Network
Since 1998, Rutgers and Penn State play for the 'Friendship Cup'. Rutgers is 46-27 in the all-time series but has lost three straight games. Since joining the Big Ten, RU is 5-7 against PSU.

Johns Hopkins (6-6, 0-4 B1G) at No. 3 Maryland (9-2, 2-2), 8 p.m., Big Ten Network
Best rivalry in the sport. Hopkins leads the all-time series 77-50-1. Hopkins has won last two regular season meetings, 12-11 in 2023 (ending a five-game losing streak to the Terps) and 7-5 last year.

SATURDAY
No. 1 Cornell (10-1, 4-0 Ivy) at No. 10 Harvard (9-2, 3-1), noon, ESPN+
Cornell has won five of the last six in this series and about two thirds of the almost 100 games historically. Expect lots of goals.

No. 9 Notre Dame (6-3, 2-1 ACC) at No. 5 North Carolina (9-2, 2-0), noon, ESPNU
D-Fly & Dixie will on site in Chapel Hill Saturday for this Top 10 matchup where the temperature is supposed to reach 86 degrees. The action on the field will be hot too as the Heels hope to snap a four-game losing streak to the Fightin’ Irish.

No. 19 UMass (9-3, 2-1 A10) at No. 11 Richmond (9-3, 3-0), noon, ESPN+
Big game in the A10. These two programs have only played once all time, with Spiders winning 14-12 in Amherst last season. Winner is in driver seat along with winner of High Point and St. Joe’s, which is also this Saturday.

No. 7 Syracuse (9-3, 2-0 ACC) at No. 12 Duke (9-4, 0-2), 2 p.m., ACC Network
This is an especially important game for the Blue Devils. Duke has won three of the past four meetings, but got shut down 10-4 in the Dome last year. Duke got revenge in the ACC Tournament with a 18-13 win.

No. 6 Ohio State (11-2, 3-1 B1G) at No. 13 Michigan (7-5, 3-1), 4 p.m., Big Ten Network
The Buckeyes look to end a four-game losing streak in this heated rivalry. This regular-season game has been a catalyst for the Wolverines the past two years, as Michigan has won the rivalry game and then beat OSU in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament on its way to consecutive Big Ten tourney titles.

In this week’s playoff-themed Give & Go, the guys talk about different playoff set ups in various professional sports.

WEEKEND PREVIEW
Six games in our preview this week, with five legit Top 20 matchups and two Top 10 games and one of the best rivalries in the sport to highlight this week’s schedule.

SATURDAY
No. 5 Army (9-1, 4-1 Patriot) at Navy (7-4, 3-2), 12:30 p.m., CBS Sports Network
One of the best rivalries in the sport. Army has won the last two years, but Navy won 4-of-5 prior to that. While this is one of those rivalries where record truly doesn’t matter, that is not the case. We haven’t talked about Navy in a while, but they’re right behind Army.

No. 19 Johns Hopkins (6-5, 0-3 B1G) at No. 8 Penn State (7-3, 1-2), 1 p.m., Big Ten Plus
What can you say? The Jays need this. Hopkins has controlled this series, winning last year and four of the last five meetings. However, this one is at Penn State, and the Nittany Lions have won four of the last five meetings in University Park.

No. 6 Maryland (8-2, 1-2 B1G) at No. 2 Ohio State (11-1, 3-0), 2 p.m., Big Ten Network
Big game in Columbus. Maryland has dominated this series, 14-3, and the Terps have won six in a row and eight of the last nine.

No. 7 North Carolina (8-2, 1-0 ACC) at No. 12 Duke (9-3, 0-1), 4 p.m., ACC Network
Fans may remember last year when a depleted UNC shocked No. 2-ranked Duke, 15-12. The 2025 Tar Heels aren’t going to sneak up on anybody.

No. 4 Syracuse (9-2) vs. No. 1 Cornell (9-1), Uniondale, N.Y., 4 p.m., Corrigan Sports Network
Cornell has won four of the last five, including two consecutive. The game has gone into OT each of the last two meetings, with Cornell winning 18-17 in 2OT last year, and 16-15 in 2022. We can only hope for another one as good as those.

SUNDAY
No. 14 Michigan (6-5, 2-1 B1G) at No. 18 Rutgers (6-6, 2-1), noon, Big Ten Network
Rutgers is 10-1 all-time against Michigan, dating back to 2012. RU lost in Ann Arbor in 2015 in the first ever meeting of the two teams as Big Ten foes. Since then, Rutgers has won nine straight, including a 6-0 all-time record at home against the Wolverines.

In this week’s Ovie-themed Give & Go, the guys talk about Ovechkin breaking Gretzky’s record and Ovie’s status in the pantheon of Washington, D.C. all-time great pros.

The first NPI — the NCAA Power Index, a replacement for RPI— has been released. With that has extreme implications for the NCAA Tournament and how it is seeded. Kap and Caleb are back with that, plus a ton of big-time results: Salisbury’s victory over CNU, Tufts' OT thriller with Wesleyan, and a Roanoke vs. Lynchburg game that immediately was tagged as a classic.
There has been goal controversy with a pair of games involving the Jumbos that the guys touch on, too.

Whether it was Rutgers' upset of Maryland, Syracuse's win over Notre Dame in front of a record crowd in the Dome or Penn State's comeback at Michigan, IL's Terry Foy, Larken Kemp and Nick Ossello (who was brave enough to show up for a portion of the episode despite the Irish's loss) unpack Week 9 of the college lacrosse season.

They dissect the Ivy League, from Harvard's one-sided win over Dartmouth to Yale's pivotal outcome over Penn to Cornell's closer-than-it-seemed victory vs. Brown. From there, they dive into Carolina's dominant second half vs. Virginia, then move into the quick-hitters: Gtown over Marquette in OT, High Point upsetting UMass, Loyola getting its first win over Bucknell in OT, Duke snapping its two-game losing streak and Army-Navy pitting two teams coming off wins.

As we head into the month of April, Inside Lacrosse has released its first Bracketology presented by Get Reps. Based upon RPI and Strength of Schedule, I wasn’t surprised at the top four (Princeton, Maryland, Notre Dame and North Carolina), but it was something to see the nation’s No. 1 team, Cornell, as IL’s seventh best resume and the current third-ranked team, Ohio State, on the outside of the bubble. But hey, that’s why we play the games! This week there are five Top 20 matchups and one delicious Top 10 matchup for your viewing enjoyment. D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you ready.

And as teams battle the week-to-week storms of April conference play, don’t forget that famous old expression, “April showers bring May prowess.” Ok, maybe I just made that up, but the teams that weather and grow from conference battles always set themselves up best for the postseason.

This was a good one that you don’t want to miss.

WEEKEND PREVIEW
Six games in our preview this week, with five legit Top 20 matchups and one Top 10 game to highlight this week’s schedule.

SATURDAY
No. 12 Duke (8-3) at No. 15 Boston U (8-2), 1 p.m., ESPN+

No. 11 Harvard (7-2, 1-1 Ivy) at No. 18 Dartmouth (7-2, 1-1), 1 p.m., ESPN+

Homecoming at Homewood. Hopkins leads the series, 11-7. JHU won last two, including 11-10 OT win in Columbus last April.

No. 5 Notre Dame (5-2, 1-0 ACC) at No. 7 Syracuse (8-2, 1-0), 2 p.m., ACC Network

Virginia (5-5, 0-1 ACC) at No. 8 North Carolina (7-2, 0-0), 4 p.m., ACC Network

On a weekend when the hierarchy of games wasn't immediately clear, the results didn't stop the world on its axis and the season-long trends weren't upended, the boys produced what they think is — inarguably — the best Tailgate Podcast of 2025 so far.

IL's Terry Foy, Nick Ossello and Larken start with a breakdown of Army's win over Carolina, discuss Notre Dame doubling up Duke, stop in College Park for Maryland's bounceback win over Penn State, then dive into what is annually one of the most anticipated matchups in the game: Syracuse at Virginia. On top of that, they examine whether it was a better for Michigan or a worse loss for Hopkins, then parse through the Ivy League, highlighted by Larken's appearance at the Brown tailgate.

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the middle of the season. (Be sure to check out IL’s Midseason All-Americans.)

The historic cohort of experienced, record-breaking household names have departed, ushering in a new era in college lacrosse. Have your team rosters and game notes ready for early season games.

As seems the case every year, there are some rules changes to understand. Two significant changes center around replays and face-offs. Who better to talk face-offs than TD Ierlan, arguably the greatest face-off athlete of all time? Ierlan and Dixie break down why the rules were needed and how the new face-off mechanics will work. In addition, the guys talk about preparing for a long season, coaching the face-off, TD’s college experience playing for three legendary coaches and which college team gets the most love on spring Saturdays.

GAME PREVIEWS
There are 18 games this weekend, with 17 on Saturday. Are you sitting down, because you aren’t going to believe this. Practically all of the games (13 of the 17 games) are at noon. Ugh. How hard would it be to schedule games spread out from noon to 8 p.m.?

In any case there are some intriguing battles, including two legitimate Top 20 matchups:
No. 20 Richmond at No. 5 Maryland, noon
Navy at High Point, noon
Colgate at No. 14 Penn State, noon
Loyola at No. 11 Georgetown, noon
Jacksonville at No. 2 Syracuse, noon
No. 8 JHU at No. 10 Denver, 2 p.m.

One of the coolest sports stories of the young new year was Golden State Warrior Pat Spencer being guarded by his younger brother, Memphis Grizzlies rookie Cam Spencer, in a game on Saturday, Jan. 4.

It was the latest crescendo of a pair of incredible athlete journeys that were heavily influenced on the lacrosse fields at Boys' Latin (Md.) and Loyola University Maryland. After winning the Tewaaraton Award in 2019, Spencer played a year of basketball at Northwestern and has since worked his way through the NBA G-League to sign a two-way contract with the Warriors.

Meanwhile, Cam — who also played lacrosse for the Lakers — started his college basketball career at Loyola, then transferred to Rutgers before finishing his career as a national champion with UConn in April. He was selected with the 53rd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and made his debut with the Grizz in November while also logging minutes (and success) with the G-League Hustle.

Though the Spencers' focus is squarely on maximizing their NBA dreams, they also have an eye on life after basketball, which is why they've invested in a startup called Chillshark. Founded by Pat's BL teammate Keegan O'Connor, a 2014 Under Armour All-American who played at Maryland and High Point, Chillshark is a device that can convert any device into a cold plunge.

Recorded on Dec. 3, Pat, Cam and Keegan joined IL's Terry Foy to discuss their journey to that point, as well as the merits of cold therapy and how O'Connor plans to go about building the business.

IL's Dan Kaplan continues the series of "How Recruiting Works" with a DIII twist.

He welcomes Dickinson coach Dave Webster and Amherst coach Sean Woods to answer a bevy of recruiting-related questions. While a lot of the blueprint for most of DIII is pretty similar, the subtle manipulations by staff and program make all the difference.

In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, concluding this year's series with Delaware coach Ben DeLuca.

The Blue Hens sit at the intersection of several aspects of college athletics — geographically (north/south), academically (most selective/most prestigious), competitively (perennial tournament contender/perennial title contender) and, most pertinently as they transition from FCS to FBS football, high-major vs. low-major. It all manifests in how DeLuca builds out Delaware's roster, and he discusses how that informs his evaluation and recruiting strategies.

From there, they dive into the Merrimack situation, which started with a fight at last week's loss to UAlbany (which Nick was in attendance for), the Warriors' win over Bryant on Saturday, the resignation of coach Mike Murphy later in the day and then the Mack's qualifying for the America East Tournament to end the day.

While the Ivy League and Big Ten didn't pack a huge punch, the Patriot League and Atlantic 10 made up for it. Wrap up the weekend with Towson's winning the CAA and Siena and Manhattan making it to the MAAC Semifinals.

It's Rivalry Week, huge crowds are showing up and IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello are back to examine two huge games with contrasting identities.

First, to Syracuse, where Foy was in the building for the Orange's 18-17 win over Virginia in the latest entry for Game of the Year (a very crowded ballot).

Wrapping up the rivalry talk, they dive into Ohio State's frantic comeback that fell just short and set up a rematch vs., you guessed it — Michigan.

It wasn't all rivalry action, though, and they dive into Mike Gianforcaro's goalie goal, Loyola's win over Navy and what it sets up in the Patriot League, Jacksonville's big ASUN win over Air Force and Yale's win over UAlbany on Friday night that may or may not have laid out the blueprint for Merrimack to beat the Great Danes in Sunday's showcase game, which Ossello attended (after this podcast was recorded).

One of the great things about college lacrosse is that there are always many important games every week of the season. Week in and week out it's consistently good. Always.

But then Rivalry Week comes, and it’s just better. The tradition and history in the series. The familiarity of the teams. The disdain, yet often mutual respect, between fanbases. The bragging rights to the victor. Then add in the fact that it comes late in the regular season, and the Rivalry Game means there are usually post-season implications at stake. The 2023 edition of Rivalry Week brings all this and more.

Highlighting our Rivalry Week preview show is an interview with third-year Hopkins head coach, Peter Milliman. He’ll be at the center of the storm this week as he guides his No. 7-ranked Blue Jays into College Park to face the No. 3-ranked Maryland Terrapins on Saturday night.

Five teams competed at the first women's edition of the annual European Box Lacrosse Invitational. The event is commonly called EBox, so the women's version has taken the nickname SheBox. The tournament was the first opportunity for women in Europe to play box lacrosse, which will have a women's world championship for the first time in 2024. This week on LaxBeat, host Stephen Stamp has conversations with five participants in the inaugural SheBox, which was universally acclaimed as a huge success. * Lizzie Bottrill is from England, where she has been part of the national development field lacrosse team, and was one of three English women to play for Prague Sports at SheBox. * Becky Moloney has been a goalie for Ireland's field team and is a driver of the sport in the nation. She played between the pipes for Team Eire, which was coached by Bellingham, Wash., native and Prague resident Garrett Goshorn at the tournament. * Mac MacDonough and Delaney Benson both grew up in California and have both been living in Israel, where they put enormous time and energy into coaching lacrosse. They'll both be representing Israel at World Lacrosse championship this summer.

The five guests have diverse backgrounds, but they all agree that SheBox was a huge first step for lacrosse in Europe and was a seminal moment in the growth of the women's box game.

One of the viral moments of last lacrosse weekend was Maryland’s win over UAlbany, which — due to weather — had to be relocated at the last minute, played indoors at the recently renovated Jones-Hill House, previously known as Cole Fieldhouse.

D-Fly and Dixie help you get ready for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. In addition to talking about the tournament field and seedings, they preview all eight games and bring in High Point head coach Jon Torpey to set the tone for the weekend.

First, they look at the bracket and talk about the selection show. In particular, they discuss Loyola’s inclusion, seeding questions and the little respect shown to the B1G. The two also talk about the NCAA’s sideline limits and an unusual schedule of one game per venue per day. Despite these petty concerns, they’re both grateful for May lacrosse and excited for the games.

Then they start breaking down the games. Prior to the Duke vs. High Point preview, they sit down with Torpey to talk about the Southern Conference champions. As always, they start with a look at pandemic perseverance at High Point. Fascinated with the Panthers social media accounts, Dix asks about the inspiration behind the entertaining content.

As the conversation turns to the team, they all discuss the specialness of this particular senior class, how the season pivoted in the middle, the brilliance of Asher Nolting and the star contributions of Kevin Rogers and Brayden Mayea.

In the final question, we learn that the Panthers are Maggiano stans even as Torpey stays true to his Baltimore roots as a Little Italy man.

D-Fly and Dixie check in a day early with a new episode of the Inside Lacrosse weekend preview, with an eye on a huge Thursday of conference tournament semifinals. The preview all of the conference semifinal games of Thursday and Friday, and invite Michigan head coach Kevin Conry in for the weekly conversation.

Dixie starts off with a story about gathering with the Marr family a few years back to take in conference tournament action, then they set the table for what’s at stake this weekend. Eight conference champions will claim Automatic Qualifiers (AQs), while other teams hope to make a case for one of the eight remaining at-large berths. The guys challenge the popular notion that the ACC is guaranteed five at-large spots, and that’s what makes this weekend so important for so many teams.

In the conversation with Conry, they talk about how the Wolverines have managed COVID in Ann Arbor, coaching against friends and the Hopkins alumni coaching lineage. As they turn the conversation to the 2021 Wolverines, Conry discusses All-B1G face-off specialist Nick Rowlett, the young dynamic duo of Josh Zwada and Michael Boehm, achieving “firsts” in program history, and of course the matchup with No. 1-ranked Maryland.

The semester is wrapping up, and Conry was well prepared to ace his exam when it came to the food discussion. He came with a list and notes for best road trip team restaurants, and he skillfully danced around a direct answer on his favorite sandwich at Zingerman’s, an Ann Arbor landmark. Solid A.
