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.

North Carolina remains perfect in the Chris Gray and Will Bowen era, but freshman goalie Collin Krieg stole the show on Thursday night in the Tar Heels’ 16-13 victory at No. 8 Virginia.
It was a cathartic night of college lacrosse action a year removed from the moment when everything was ripped away in a perfect atmosphere at Klockner Stadium with limited but boisterous on the broadcast fans in attendance.
“I talked to [Virginia coach] Lars [Tiffany] before the game and was like, you know it’s a sigh of relief that we’re back at it after one year ago when things started to go haywire,” North Carolina coach Joe Breschi said. “We’re so happy for the student-athletes, continuing to remind them that it’s special to be out there because you never know when it can be taken away. Tonight was another reminder.”
