Albany comes back to win 11-10. Down 8-3 at one point. Down 10-6 after 3 quarters. Still No. 1!

I watched a lot of that Albany/Maryland game a few weeks ago and I have to say it - I generally don't enjoy watching lacrosse. And heck, I used to have season tickets to the Philadelphia Wings (Gait brothers, Tommy Marachek, Dallas Eliuk, etc). There's very little strategy to field lacrosse. Just tons of one on one attacks. As a spectating sport goes, it just doesn't do it for me.

Too bad. Fastest sport on two feet, as they say. I saw Salisbury edge Washington College 7-6 in OT on Saturday, in a D-III rivalry game. Good defense and goalie play on both sides. One of my grad classmates is an assistant coach.

When they're moving, sure, but a lot of the time is just passing it around and looking for an advantage. The goalie is huge since almost all the action is a one-on-one rush and getting a shot on the keeper. I'm not sure why the coaches have whiteboards to write plays on - every possession looks like a hockey 5-4 power play.

That's a good analogy. My BIL has been watching lax non stop on TV lately. I told him I did not like the out of bounds rule on shots. The offense is almost always going to keep the ball because they form that perimeter around the D. Seems like there should be a better way to encourage the O to move around more.

Going to game tomorrow vs. Canisius. It shouldn't be close, but you never know. The best game on paper is at Yale on April 22. I think I'm going to New Haven to watch it live.
