Re: USMNT - 2026 Cycle - "Early Days"
Dest acl sucks. Him and a Robinson bring a lot of class and stability getting forward. No choice but to play more defensively at least on one side. Might suit them with the better competition. M Robinson back though. Wonder how he looks Nah. You can put Weah over there.. He has played that position...

I had to dig a bit to get my head straight, because I know the SEC doesn't have lacrosse. They are playing in the American Athletic Conference, joined by Vandy for just Women's Lacrosse. A 16 seed that took out #6 MD.

Hopkins is in some kind of rut. They got absolutely shut down by MI in the B1G tourney and they really looked lethargic this weekend. I don't see them getting past the Hoos, unless they have a pretty radical shift. Nice that the game is down the road, though.
