Anonymous wrote:Unlike prior years, this year's IAC regular season is a far greater measurement of each team's relative standing with 2 back-to-back games against each opponent for 9 total regular season games (-ex Episcopal who refused to play off campus) versus the traditional 5 IAC games. Yes, the tourney adds excitement, but in reality it's more of a footnote this year, versus prior years.
The post above ignores the fact the IAC regular season only counts for Tournament Seeding. The 2021 Lacrosse Banner will be awarded according to the tournament finish and nothing else. Given how the season has played out this year, I am sure GP would like the season to mean everything, but it doesn't. Who is the best team the last weekend of the season is all that matters in the IAC this year. If you are an IAC fan, you get to be nervous until the end.
Every school and player keeps score on the regular season just as they do the tourney, so have no idea what you are talking about. The grind of this year's regular season is more deserving of recognition versus any prior year alongside a tourney winner and i think the Saints can pull it off but we'll see.
