Message: [QUOTE="SUlax88-09, post: 5765280, member: 9879"] I don’t think it’s about Albany becoming a better lacrosse program then Syracuse. It’s that the growth of another competitive Upstate NY D1 lacrosse program took away star players that likely would have otherwise played at SU. In the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s, nearly all of the top Upstate NY high school lacrosse players (including Native Americans) that wanted to play in Upstate NY in front of their family’s went to SU. Once the Thompson twins chose Albany, they built up a program that could compete with SU (not necessarily for more wins, but for top players). Lyle Thompson, Miles Thompson, Connor Fields, Blaze Riorden, and Jake Piseno… If those players went to SU and not Albany (as probably would have happened in the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s) then SU’s last chip probably is not in ‘09 (regardless of FO percentage) [/QUOTE]
