xmadx It pains me to see Loyola 4 spots ahead, even after we beat them on their own field earlier this year. xmadx

I love that Albany is the surprise team this year! xthumbsupx

Kinda like CS Fullerton is baseball, ranked on name alone

The Hens once again, a team that is good, but not good enough. xnonono2x

How big a sport is Lacrosse? Does it rival baseball and WR or more like swimming and golf?

WR? It is cooler IMO than baseball for the HS kids around here, but it's still much smaller as far as fanbase.

[spelunker64]

WR = Wrestling

[danefan]

Well its bigger than baseball at UAlbany by far. And we don't have a wrestling team so no comparison there. Last lacrosse game here we got about 2000 fans. Our baseball teams gets about 50.

The most exposure I've ever gotten to Lacrosse was from watching American Pie. xlolx xnodx

There are two hot beds for lacrosse, Baltimore and Long Island.
Where I live, Baltimore, lacrosse is much more popular than baseball. HS baseball is competitive in Baltimore, but it is vastly over shadowed by HS lacrosse. College baseball is non existant here. Hopkins, Loyola, Towson, Maryland, UMBC and Navy dominate the college section of the papers.

WR? Wrestling? LOL Whats that?

Lacrosse is THE spring sport here. Now down in the DC metro area of Maryland, baseball is more prvalent, but lacrosse has infiltrated the high schools.

To give you an idea of the sports popularity here. I live in Catonsville which is a town to the southwest of Baltimore City. My daughter is in the 5-6 yo lacrosse club. 8 teams of 10 girls. There are 10 teams in the 7-8 age range. And 12 teams in the 9-10 range. Thats ALOT of little girls playing a sport in one town. It's even more popular with boys.

No Lacrosee up here, I'd say for sports importance up here its:

Fall: Football, Volleyball, Cross Country
Winter: Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Wrestling, Hockey (where available)
Spring: Track, Golf, Baseball

Summer: It's mostly baseball(Legion Teams), but soccer is growing in Fargo.

Men's LAX Final Four has drawn 40K+ in Baltimore and 50K+ in Philadelphia in the past couple of years. That makes LAX a very big deal to the NC$$.

Current tickets sold for the Memorial Day final four.

I would imagine that is more than any other NCAA sporting final except Football and Basketball.

Syracuse has 4!

Syracuse's next games are at Princeton and Cornell visits the Carrier dome most likely loses on both, then Rutgers and Albany for sure they'll drop one of these, then they close the season with UMass and Colgate, For sure the Orange are going to have a loosing season at this year

[jessesd]

Hofstra is doing horrible

Overall: 1-4-0 CAA: 0-1-0
Home: 1-1-0 Away: 0-3-0 Neutral: 0-0-0
