We are living with postponements and programs in pause. We witnessed monster goal-scoring runs this week.
We were treated to a more robust slate of Sunday games because of on-campus social distancing and facility availability. I think that’s a longterm positive. Why stack all the games on Saturday? The game grows when teams play on Thursday night, Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Everybody can’t play Saturday at the same time.
Maryland, North Carolina and Johns Hopkins picked up marquee wins. Duke dominated. Lehigh is legit. Vermont and Delaware are surging. UMass made its belated debut.
The action perks up significantly this week with the majority of DI teams in action.
Tuesday is for the hunter with North Carolina hosting High Point on the ACC Network at 2 p.m.
Saturday s action is robust currently 19 games on the docket, but some of those are likely to be postponed. Check the www.insidelacrosse.com calendar for the complete listing and have your head on a swivel for postponements and changes, which will become standard operating procedure in 2021. The Big Ten debuts with its conference only format.
Wear a mask. Cherish the ‘to-go’ meals eaten solo in your hotel room. Travel safe. Be stealthy while dodging COVID. Have fun you’re working too hard not enjoy game day. And good luck.
