awesome game today down at Gonzaga. At one point, I thought Landon was going run away with it after the first 6 minutes of the game when they jumped out to a 3 goal lead.

The officiating was TERRIBLE today. Landon didn't have one extra man opportunity the entire game. Gonzaga had 5 extra man opportunities. REALLY?

Gonzaga FOGO did a good job tying up Shocky. Landon did not dominate the face off circle like they have been doing all season.

The officials swallowed their whistles today. Only 1 call could have been called when a Gonzaga player slipped moments before he was hit. Easily could have been a 2 minute non releasable, but the ref's let it go. I will say there were numerous pushes that could have been called on both sides, but again the ref's let them play. Officiating had no bearing on the game. Shockey did dominate the FO's, he just didn't when 90%. Closer to 75% today.

who cares, two horrible teams, make the IAC look bad

"Horrible teams"? Okay, will get beaten by Landon or Bullis for sure. But "horrible"? Methinks not. Could handily beat most any other team outside of the DMV.

yes, you heard me right, the IAC doesn't get the national recognition because of these two shitty teams. It's a fact. The bottom end of the miaa is SO much better than the bottom end of the IAC. Kick St. Albans and EHS out, replace them with gonzaga, PVI

Don't lump St Albans with EHS. Even in dark days of Bulldog lacrosse we beat Maroon. Times are changing and Bulldogs are on the rise.

EHS has like 2 wins in last 5 years of IAC play, including playoffs. IAC should replace Maroon with Gonz, STJ or Potomac. Or all 3.

Agree Bulldogs are on the rise, and EHS will be at the bottom of the IAC for the foreseeable future. A good lesson to be learned here. The Maroon is a team built around 1 player. Despite his formidable talent, he can't carry the entire team. Lax is a true team sport. The Bulldogs are more balanced. The defense seemed effective, making up for a talent deficit with ferocity and focus. The offense is as exciting as I've ever seen this team play, playing very uptempo, with shifty dodgers and others who just power their way passed defenders. Their Yalie commit goalie looks as good advertised, and the FOgO who transferred in this year has to be one reason why the Bulldogs are rebuilding well. Good for you STA for getting out of the IAC cellar.

The fix for the Maroon is actually staring us in the face. EHS is not shy about recruiting. Look what they are doing on the football side of things. Seems like all they need is a Canadian pipeline for lax too, and they can become a real powerhouse.

Good point re: Episcopal. Very good in football and basketball, top of IAC. They just don't care about lacrosse

I believe the head lacrosse coach is also their admissions director. If he wanted to go the Canadian route for lacrosse, similar to what their football team has done, they would have.

EHS is still a solid lacrosse program but it's a southern school and hence football is king at the school.

Looks increasingly likely that Landon will play Bullis at Landon on 5/12 for IAC Championship. Also if Landon wins against Bullis it will be considered the top HS team in US.

[Anonymous]

Bullis is playing better than when they first met earlier this spring and I would not be surprised if the result is different.

[Anonymous]

So is Landon..........

I would not be surprised if Landon beats the pants off them in the finals. That is assuming, both teams get to the finals.

[Anonymous]

Both teams will dominate DMV next year too.

Too many unknowns to say that right now.

Will Landon have suitable replacements at FOGO and goalie?

What does a post-Trippi offense look like?

Prep is waiting in the wings, and their heralded underclassmen might just be ready to regain the IAC mantle.

As for the rest of the IAC, look for SSSA, after a disappointing season, to reassert itself with a vengeance.

STA graduates its defense. Their offense will apparently remain intact. But if they can't find a goalie and some some poles, they'll have to score 15 goals per game, or their 2017 winning season might be the last one for awhile.

EHS. Ahh, EHS. Maybe just put a stick in the hands of some of those amazing athletes from football. Hard to watch games these days.

Bro you need to get a life

UMD inside the beltway finishes the regular season number 1 in men's and women's lax once again. Go preppy Terps !

[Anonymous]

Post Trippi at Bullis... let's think, bellistri will go out and recruit in 3- 4 transfers. Just like what they did this year.

[Anonymous]

Ha until the "heralded" Prep underclassmen actually accomplish something it will just be the equivalent of fake news! Just because Ty Xanders or some other evaluator of 15 year old talent says so doesn't make it true.

[Anonymous]

LOL or that jerk-off running the crabs program.

[Anonymous]

Prep is down until they are up. Who knows when that will happen but we will know it when we see it.
