The Utah Lacrosse team earned its first ever final ranking in program history!
#16

…after beating Queen’s University in Charlotte, NC this morning, 18-6. This is our 2nd consecutive season wherein we’d swept all conference opponents.
Having already locked up the #1 seed, Utah will travel to Moon Township, PA for the conference tournament. This year’s tournament is different than last year’s, as last year only took the Top-4…[Read more]

…this evening, before even the opening faceoff vs Cleveland St (5-7). With Air Force’s 15-11 upset win over #16 Jacksonville in FL, Utah officially won the regular season title for the 2nd year in a row.

Since Utah had no shot of earning an “at large” bid in the national tournament, and had already secured the top conference tourney’s top…[Read more]

…but neither Curry nor Glover has gotten into the game? Are they injured?

…for the first time this season, and neither of our final two opponents have much hope of defeating us. We’ll still have to win the conference tournament if we have any hopes of finishing ranked — and that means a likely rematch vs. #16 Jacksonville in the title game.
Utah needs to only beat one of our two remaining opponents to lock up the #1…[Read more]

…in next month’s conference tournament, with a 22-12 rout at Home, vs the Mercer Bears.
The conference tournament will only include the top four teams in our ten team league. At 7-0 in league play, Utah holds a firm grasp on the #1 seed. 14th-ranked Jacksonville, at 6-1, is #2, and would need Utah to lose twice to overtake us, as we’d…[Read more]

…26-10!
RMU was the only conference team to have beaten us last year, and even that win put them 1-1 against us for the year (we’d won another 10-pt decision against them in SLC during the regular season matchup, and they’d gotten their revenge, in OT, in the conference championship game), so I’d expected a more challenging game against them, as…[Read more]

This is our biggest win of the season. The win over the 8-2 Dolphins is our first win over a ranked opponent this season, and, moves Utah in to sole possession of 1st-place in the conference.
The schedule gets easier from here on out, but our next opponent — Robert Morris Univ — was the only conference opponent who’d beaten us last season.…[Read more]

I can’t really report much on this game, as I was at work during the entirety of it, but I can at least give you all the heads up on the Utes scoring another big win.
Due to some weird glitch in the scheduling, this was our 3rd consecutive roadie at AFA, so I’m glad we not only beat them, but rather trounced them in the game. It’s about time…[Read more]

…this afternoon in Detroit. It was our first “road” win of the season for us.

Utah follows up this roadie with a midweek match vs. a significantly tougher opponent in Air Force (5-3). Air Force beat #17 Denver 12-10 just one week after Utah had lost to them 4-12. So hopefully, we’ll be better prepared.

GO UTES!!!

…15-8 over Bellarmine, to advance our record to 1-0 in conference play, and 2-4 overall. We played a very challenging non-conference slate this year, losing to two Top-10 teams, another team who’s receiving votes, and another 1-pt loss to a very good “American East” team. Prior to this game, Bellarmine was another team who was receiving votes,…[Read more]

Hi Tony!  Since the UVA-Va Tech game had been cancelled, were you going to just throw that game out of your contest?  Or were you planning on replacing it with another one?

…”365 Sports” show, and lying through his teeth — desperately trying to make ybU-p look like they’re a major brand.  Here’s some quotes…

“Stanford is a rival of BYU’s in terms of recruits.”

Does Stanford know this?  I remember back when I was a student at the U — straddling our WAC/MWC years, where the zoobs were claiming they were…[Read more]

…but the only Pac-12 schools being mentioned now are UWa, Ore, Stan, and Cal.  Which is all the more reason why the Pac-12 will need to raid the Big 12 in order to survive.  
By the looks of things, all the premier Pac-12 and Big 12 teams will inevitably wind up in the same conference anyway, so it makes more sense to induce them to join us…[Read more]
