After seeing Navy yesterday, I'm pretty confident the PL with have a rep in the lacrosse Final Four (Memorial Day weekend at Ravens stadium in Baltimore) this year. They are a very well coached team with a lot of talent. If I hadn't been rooting for the Saders, it would have been a great day, with perfect weather and extremely high caliber lacrosse. #2 ranked Navy plays #1 ranked Hopkins this week which should be a battle. Navy beat then #2 Maryland last week, a victory over Hopkins this week would undoubtedly lead to a unanimous #1 ranking in the polls for the Midshipmen.
Two final notes:
1. Navy-Marine Corps stadium is without a doubt one of the nicest college facilities I have ever seen.
2. To underscore the administrations commitment to the lacrosse program... The team awoke at 3:30am Sunday morning, drove to Manchester, NH and flew Southwest to BWI airport. They then boarded a bus and drove to play the #2 ranked Midshipmen for a 2pm face off. Apparently, a hotel room in Annapolis the night before would have caused the Athletic Dept to operate in the red this year...
ditto on navy-marine corps stadium - beautiful place to watch a game. navy/hopkins should be a classic matchup this coming weekend.
that travel itinerary is ridiculous man. you really aren't giving yourself much of a shot to compete when you expect your kids that are most likely up until 1 AM or so to wake up at 3:30 to play arguably the best team in the country. disappointing...
