We are living with postponements and programs in pause. We witnessed monster goal-scoring runs this week.
We were treated to a more robust slate of Sunday games because of on-campus social distancing and facility availability. I think that’s a longterm positive. Why stack all the games on Saturday? The game grows when teams play on Thursday night, Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Everybody can’t play Saturday at the same time.
Maryland, North Carolina and Johns Hopkins picked up marquee wins. Duke dominated. Lehigh is legit. Vermont and Delaware are surging. UMass made its belated debut.

For the second week in a row, the UAlbany men’s lacrosse team got off to a slow start.
One twist not in the Great Danes’ favor this time was that Jakob Patterson wasn’t in uniform.
And they were playing Vermont, a team against which you’re going to need every resource at your disposal.
The Catamounts took a 10-4 lead at halftime, and a UAlbany comeback fell short, as the Great Danes fell to 2-1 with a 14-12 loss to their America East rival.
They proved all that right in a 14-12 win at No. 14 UAlbany. Very proud of these Cats for getting their first win at UAlbany, said coach Chris Feifs in a release. We know there is still much to improve from our performance today but happy with the grit we showed to dig in against a very talented UAlbany team. Liam Limoges and Ryan Cornell especially rose to the challenge and were outstanding today for us. Back to work on Monday for NJIT.
For Vermont, it showed some key things: First, Michael McCormack’s continued emergence as a threat. The Middlebury transfer stretches the field for Vermont, and he started the scoring in a back-and-forth opening section to the game. He continued with two goals and two assists.
