Who is most likely to spoil the Terps' party? I don't know if Maryland can be stopped this year. Sure, they've somehow found ways to lose on Memorial Day plenty of times in Tillman's tenure, but they're simply the only great team in a year there isn't even a really good team, outside of Georgetown and February-mid April Princeton. They just do everything well in every area without any weakness and they've got way more depth than any of the other contenders. I suppose Virginia could give them a better game than they did in March if they play in the quarterfinals, but that's a huge if given their injuries and not looking anywhere close to the team we expected them to be since that Maryland loss. A semifinal against Yale or Princeton might be close, and a title game with Georgetown I think could have been more of a toss-up had it not been on two days rest as the Hoyas really only roll their 9 starters all game 2 Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Maryland might be the top seed, but the Ivy League has the teams that could cause problems for them. Hell, Princeton got the 5th seed and were the odd man out last weekend for the conference tournament. That's how good the Ivy League is this season. Don't be shocked if two or three Ivy teams are in the Final Four here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_tattoos Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 You know what I find weird? The sites for the D1 quarterfinals are Shuart Stadium at Hofstra and Ohio Stadium at Ohio State. One of these things is not like the other. Did Ohio State really just want to host the quarterfinal games or something? Wouldn't Historic Crew Stadium have been a much more sensible site? One stadium seats under 12K, while the other seats over 100K. I just don't understand how or why this came to be.

Ohio State has their own lacrosse stadium too, but I guess they're expecting big numbers from Maryland or Ivy League fans? Ohio State plays several games there a year, and have done double headers with the spring game as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. When the PLL absorbed MLL the Cannons identity was the only one to crossover. The Cannons Lacrosse Club became the PLL's 8th team. FWIW Rabil mentioned the PLL's long term goal is to eventually go to a traditional city based model. You'd have to image the Cannons wouldn't be allowed to go anyplace but the Boston area whenever that day comes.

That's THE main reason PLL has a tour based schedule instead of the traditional city based model. The PLL is actively trying to expand high level lacrosse beyond the east coast. There's many locations out west, down south and the midwest the PLL hasn't even taken the tour yet. If I had to guess, the PLL will run under the touring model for at least a decade before the switch to a city based model. Gotta give people outside the east coast (and Denver) a reason to care. Randomly sticking teams in other parts of the country without building interest would lead to quick failure. Look up all the MLL teams placed outside the east coast and how quickly those teams shut down compared to their northeast based counterparts.
