As the NCAA winter sports seasons wrap up, lacrosse has the opportunity to step into the limelight. What’s happened is less important than what’s next.
Monmouth and Bryant are the current favorites to win their league titles, but the margin of success and failure are extremely tight in 2021. LIU (4-1 NEC) and Saint Joseph’s (5-0 NEC) still have to play the Bulldogs (3-1) in the NEC. Monmouth is scheduled to play Marist on Tuesday, but that game remains in doubt due to Marist’s ongoing pause. Jacksonville is 4-0 in the SoCon but has not played High Point or Richmond yet. Stay in the hunt. Make the next game the most important one of the season. This is when the fun begins.

When Stephen Rehfuss’ shot in traffic deflected off Griffin Cook’s back, the sophomore scooped up the loose ball and unleashed a follow-up effort in one smooth motion.
Cook’s behind-the-back highlight goal his first of the season caused the SU bench to erupt into cheers. On a day where SU’s defense held firm, allowing just eight goals, the offense was less efficient than usual, notching just 13 goals on 50 total shots.

Grant Murphy’s stick, as it had been almost all game, was in the perfect spot to bat down an Albany pass to the middle of the offensive zone. Murphy calmly looked down, located the ball, and kicked it away from two Albany players and toward Syracuse defender Cole Horan. Late in the fourth quarter and up by five goals, Syracuse’s defense still didn’t let down its guard.

If there’s such a thing as a reverse-Samson at the hair salon, Scott Marr hopes he got one.
The UAlbany men’s lacrosse head coach showed up for his weekly Zoom conference on Wednesday with a fresh cut “Just a change,” he said.
“We’ve had so much going on the last couple weeks, I just felt like, energy-wise and mojo-wise, it was time to cut it and just move on.”
What the Great Danes are trying to move on from is the dismissal of star attack Tehoka Nanticoke, and they’ll do so this week by moving headlong into what should be a highly motivated Syracuse team hungry to shake off two straight losses that dropped the Orange from No. 2 in the country to No. 9.
