Anybody else here a Lacrosse fan/ player? Big games this weekend with the final four and MLL recently opened their season. So for anyone who does know somthing about lacrosse, who do you think will win the National Title?
Games Sat:
Delaware vs. Johns Hopkins
As much as everbody likes underdogs, I personally think they are goin to die. Hopkins is just way to stacked with its powerful midfield (including some senior whose name i can't remeber but he has impressive stats: 32 goals and somthing like 30 assits). So the story ends here for Delaware. Only Advantage they have is in faceoffs.
Duke vs Cornel
Tough pick. Seball vs Dinouski, Number 1 vs only undefeated team.Both have excelent playmakers on offense and defense and both are battle tested. Buke comes off a 19-11 win from UNC (and these guys aren't soft). Cornel comes off an overtime comback victory off Albany. Good win but Cornel got off to a slow start an if they come out against Duke that way, the game will be over before halftime. Duke wins because of their stout defense and that " incident" last season.

In the end, Duke will win it all. Even they have lost two games this season, their drive and trmedous talent will make them the victors. Duke 13, Johns Hopkins 10.

Mabey but Dukes team is phenomenal this year. Danouski is a Turk ( i think thats the name) canidate and with Green they are almost unstoppable. Cornel had a lot of trouble defensing them and that's why they lost. So I am going to stick with my Dule pick.

I played lacrosse in college. I have always hated Duke, but Im kinda pulling for them in the aftermath of what happened.

I also was pulling for Duke. It looked they just might pull it off. They should not hang their heads though. After everything that program went through, they did very well.
