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.

Wednesday High Point is at Duke. Thursday Night Lacrosse debuts on the ACC Network with Virginia and North Carolina. On Saturday, Hopkins hosts Penn State, then Rutgers and Maryland play for first place in the Big Ten. Sunday, fans will be treated to Ohio State and Michigan.
Why are there so many football score blowouts this season? I think there are less ‘middle tier’ teams with the Ivy sitting out 2021 and the power programs extended their lead by securing high-profile transfers, furthering the gap.
