James Madison has always prided itself on peaking at the right time. The Dukes focus on managing out their year, coach Shelley Klaes said, so that they’re playing their best lacrosse when the postseason rolls around.
That’s no different in 2021. After an overtime win over Drexel in the CAA championship game on Sunday, James Madison will enter the NCAA tournament’s first round on Friday riding a six-game winning streak, with four of those wins coming by six goals or more.
