Teams with mens lax at the club level Louisville West Virginia UConnSouth Carolina Tennessee Buffalo among others will soon have D1 lax

Hopefully as the weather gets better we should have bigger crowds at Shuart Stadium.On a side note we drew 1,411 for Providence. Yesterday the Stony Brook women drew 2,516 for USC. Those are the type of crowds we should be drawing on a regular basis. We have a great product. Need to reach out more to the community.

Not sure about that Stu. It isn't so easy for schools to add men's lax unless they get a serious financial backer like in case of Michigan.

West Virginia to make that comityment in the next two years

My accountants son just committed to WVU with the promise that in 2 years they will commit to D1 lax

Interesting. of all the power 5 schools to add men's lax would never have predicted West Virginia. There have been rumors of other schools adding it though that haven't panned out.

Ugly game so far. Tied 3-3 with St. John's, the Red Storm has dominated the second quarter, they've been on offense for 90% of the quarter, every time Hofstra gets the ball they turn it over. St John's has doubled up Hofstra in shots (14-7). Only 2 saves for Concannon with the 3 goals allowed, but it's hard to blame him when he's been so stellar all season, the defense around him needs to step it up.

Update: we were up 5-3 at halftime, now up 7-4 after 3. Kris Clarke started at the x and went 3-6, Tiernet then pulled him and put in Kyle Gallagher who is 8-8 on faceoffs.

Tierney and Byrne have both scored crazy goals, Tierney's was top-ten worthy.

Solid 9-6 win over St johns tonite. This coupled with UD beating #1 Rutgers 13-9 and the pride have a real good chance to elevate themselves into a top 4 ranking.

Eight and 0...fantastic! Now time to win the CAA...Go Pride!

OSU lost as well, don't be surprised to see Denver+Cuse leapfrog us though.

Only 2 undefeated teams left, us and Penn State.

Next up is Fairfield, who has always given us a tough time. Delaware and Towson will also be tough games.

Delaware handed Rutgers its first loss today.

I'm not a big fan of some of the extreme analysis that goes on it sports, but I found this table interesting:

Hofstra (USILA #7) not only has the third-best RPI, but also a better SOS than unbeaten Penn State (#1) and previously unbeaten Rutgers (#3) and Ohio State (#4). Notre Dame (#2) ranks first in both categories.

Scores in the link. Tierney goal at :35 and Byrne goal at :50 were the ones i mentioned before, worth checking out.

anything and 0 at this point in a season and involving program records deserves nothing but thumbs up.

I shall say nothing to jinx or bring anything other than positive mojo. This is good for all.

CAA time, and a bullseye the size of Texas on the collective back. Proving ground #2 awaits in conference play.

We have moved up to #3 in the rankings while receiving 1 first place vote.

Hofstra U did a great feature on Jack Concannon for the "Humans of Hofstra" series. http://news.hofstra.edu/2017/03/30/winn ... n/?twitter

Concannon, Byrne, and Osman were all named Midseason All-Americans http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/m ... cans/48896

Here is a great analytical breakdown of Hofstra's success so far. I'm very nervous for Fairfield tomorrow and CAA play in general.
