219.0. "Unofficial, Unregulated Note on College Lacrosse" by CSCOA3::ROLLINS_R () Tue Apr 24 1990 14:50

	Last year Yale nearly made the NCAA lacrosse tournament, and
	was ranked in the top 15 at years end;  unfortunately the NCAA
	reserves at least one slot for a western team, and Yale was
	bumped from the group.  This year seems to be different; my
	alma mater is playing better than I ever recall, and should be
	a shoo-in for the tournament.

	Polls released yesterday:

	1.  Syracuse		 8-0
	2.  Yale		13-0
	3.  Brown		 7-2
	4.  North Carolina	 6-2
	5.  Loyola (Maryland)	 6-2
	6.  Harvard		 8-1
	7.  Virginia		 7-3
	8.  Towson State	10-1
	9.  Princeton		 8-3
	10. Navy		 7-3
	11. Johns Hopkins	 4-4
	12. Rutgers		 7-3
	13. Maryland		 5-4
	14. Massachusetts	 7-2
	15. Pennsylvania	 8-5

219.1WXYZ::METZGERZeese trophies are not for bowling...Wed Apr 25 1990 08:418

    Metz, we beat Army last weekend to go 7-2.  We play Harvard at home
    today.  If the schedule holds true to form, we're at Rutgers this
    weekend and then off until next Saturday's game at Syracuse.  We've
    lost to Yale and Cornell, beaten Army, Providence, St Johns, UNH,
    Dartmouth and 2 others who I still don't know - but I guess would
    be Brown and BC.

good,

the army game is always a tough one for us. I wish we'd beaten Cornell.

I'm suprised the Hopkins at 4-4 is ranked so highly. I know they are a LAx
powerhouse but...4-4 ???

Let me know if you find out when we have a weekend home game...


thanks,

  Metz

    I don't know but a bunch of them have been accused of a gang rape.
    Don't know any of the details.
    
    By the way Metz, I don't think our alma mater has any more weekend
    home games and if there's no game in the middle of next week, today
    may be the last home game of the season.  I don't think we're going
    to be ranked highly enough to get any home playoff games either.
    The loss to Cornell is really going to hurt them.

�    Great sport.  Also one of the dirtiest sports.
    
There are some who argue that it is the only true American sports,
since it was played by American Indians.  Baseball is attributed
to many other cultures, including the Chinese...

    Is that where the term 'Chinese home run' originated?
    
    Or the term 'Owen Tu' for a guy with two strikes on him?
    
    And what ever happened to Chief Knockahomah?

    UMass lost to Harvard yesterday 18-15.  UMass is now 7-3 with games
    remaining at Rutgers and at Syracuse.
    
    The Harvard - Yale lacrosse game this year should be great.  Yale
    is still unbeaten at 14-0 and Harvard is 9-1.

    UMass beat BC yesterday (but after the poll came out) 20-13 to improve
    its record to 9-3.  Metz, since Brown lost to Yale and beat Harvard
    and since Brown has 2 losses, I'm guessing that we beat Brown early
    in the season.

thanks john...

too bad we don't have a home playoff game or any more weekend home games
left this season...


maybe they'll swing us a break in the seeding because it's Garber's last year?

ANy idea who they new coach will be?

    Has anyone seen Syracuse play at all this year?  Are they as 
    devastating as I hear?  All I've seen is the USA Today article
    on the Gait brothers...

    	I saw a Syracuse game when I was up in Rochester a little while
    back.  They have a great team.  Yes, they are as devastating as
    you hear...
    
    	BTW, anyone care to post Division III scores???  RIT's holding
    steady at #3!!!  Kill HOBART!!! 8^)

ouch...:-(

Btw the globe actually had a good article on garber in yesterdays paper. I was
amazed to see an well thought out and written article on anything pertaining
to UMass in the Globe. They usually do a hatchet job on anything pertaining to 
UMass....


John...Don't the 8th and 9th place teams play the first playoff game to 
determine who gets the 8th seed in the LAX tourney? I seem to remember UMass 
going down to Penn 2-3 years ago for one of these 1st round matches. I hope
they manage to have 1 last home game for Garber's Gorillas....

	Last year, 12 teams made the NCAAs, and I assume there will
	be the same number of teams this year.  One spot is reserved
	for a "western" school.  (Teams as far west as Ohio were being
	considered for a "western" spot last year).
