You'd be surprised. I played in high school and even though a good defender is probably more important than a good goalie, a good goalie makes a huge difference. You could definitely notice a change in play when we started our backup over the starter. A good goalie is also key for the offense because when he picks up a ground ball or makes a save, he's gotta make a good outlet pass to get the midis going the other way.

Too bad Bryant sucks

Pretty excited for the games later today. UNC-Hopkins is the main event but Duke-Cuse is decent appetizer (though Syracuse isn't the Syracuse of years past).

Also, my top 10 teams based on stats:

Massachusetts
Princeton
Loyola
Cornell
Colgate
Lehigh
Hopkins
Maryland
Virginia
Denver

My top ten teams based on stats only:

1. Massachusetts
2. Princeton
3. Cornell
4. Loyola
5. Colgate
6. Maryland
7. Lehigh
8. Johns Hopkins
9. Virginia
10. Virginia

Heading into the weekend, my top ten based only on statistics:

I might get a shout out on the Virginia-Carolina game today.

I'm the only one that posts in here, but whatever. Changed my model a bit for my stats-based lacrosse top ten, so it's a bit different from my last few ones.

1. Massachusetts
2. Loyola
3. Cornell
4. Johns Hopkins
5. Notre Dame
6. Lehigh
7. Virginia
8. Princeton
9. Maryland
10. Bucknell

I like that jump for Hopkins. Any chance you can change the model just a bit more to make them number one? Ha.

lol

[bigmike]

My new top ten based on stats would be:

1. Massachusetts
2. Loyola
3. Cornell
4. Notre Dame
5. Lehigh
6. Princeton
7. Colgate
8. Johns Hopkins
9. Maryland
10. Virginia

Going to bump this up because the national tournament starts this weekend. My quick thoughts on the bracket:

-Virginia got over seeded.
-People still question UMass; I have them as the top team statistically, still.
-Hopkins-Stony Brook isn't as much of a cake-walk for Hopkins as people think
-Maryland-Lehigh is the closest first round game
-I like Princeton, Denver and Maryland as three upsets in the first round.

Looks like you were 2/3 on the upsets. Almost 3/3. Princeton-UVA was wild. I wish I got to see UMD-Lehigh.

I love college lax.
