Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 293439, member: 837"] This is a pretty good point and I love seeing my alma mater getting a bit of pub this year -- hoops first, now lacrosse. The only counterpoints I would make are these: -- The school finished a major athletic facilties upgrade a couple years ago, a fact that has to help recruiting (not to mention being located in a hot bed of lacrosse and having a pretty rich tradition). -- Lacrosse is tough to judge by since there are so few schools that actually play division I lacrosse. Just 57, I think, schools in DI. With as popular as lacrosse is in MD/LI and upstate and the growth of it in many other areas of the country, there is a lot of bottle-necking at the division I level. Regardless, it is pretty cool to see a truly tiny school win a big-time title. [/QUOTE]
