  • Amato is already a top 5 goalie in MD history. He has a chance to be the best. AA honors and a NC would probably put him past Beardmore, Doughtery, and Phipps.

  • Good win. Stole a couple goals and got a seriously good effort in goal. I didn't feel the game was even as close as the final score.

  • Yep - nice win. Let's hpe we crush Dook next week. Gotta like what Tillman is building.

    Someone tell me about our team. I see we are ranked #2. Why? I thought we lost a lot of players the last couple years. Who are our key players, what are they good at and how long have they been at MD?

    Still waiting.

  • What a great win. Could be a special season, but of course, it always comes down to Memorial Day weekend.

  • I was checking around for coverage about our big win. I checked ESPNU. It's hard to imagine worse coverage. They give credit for scoring four goals to a guy that did not play (Tommy Forsberg) and the picture of today's game was clearly from the National Championship game. I guess that is what happens when the game is on another network. Despite that, great win for the Terps. And, the game was not nearly as close as the score would indicate. Our attack is clearly not elite and Jake Bernhardt drives me to drink but, we are really good and really fun to watch. Please let this be the year we win it all. If you don't follow lacrosse recruiting, we definitely have the best recruiting class coming in next year. We have four of the top ten recruits including the number one kid (Matt Rambo). The high school kids may be better than our departing seniors. That is nuts. Thanks coach Tillman.

    What a weird thing to complain about.

    I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?

    Sure is....the few people that posted were looking for ways to see the game. I luckily have NBC Sports Network so I thought I would keep all informed after each score since we were playing the #1 team and NC last year. I'm sorry the teams scored so much and quickly.

  • Worst two posts ..this is like saying you want updates for a football game but don't tell me when each team scores -__-

    Except there aren't 20+ TDs every single football game. Dude made 20 out of the 25 posts on page 2, thats excessive. I agree I was overly dickish about it though, all apologies BS19.

  • We just beat the #1 team in the country and our season thread is on its third page... Something tells me this thread can handle a bit more enthusiastic posting

    You just do you BS19

    I mean its February, and its lacrosse. Its my favorite sport, but I doubt thats true of many on this board. Agreed though, that game was awesome, about as good a statement as you can make this early in the season.

    Love Niko's attitude btw. Love Niko in general.

    Still waiting.

    Last year Terps had to replace almost its entire defense. The young guys really stepped up and this year we return our entire defense, along with our goalie and most of the first and second line middies. We also got back an all conference middie who sat out last year on injury. Terps have brought in a couple of outstanding classes which are heavy with highly regarded attackmen.

    For such a time as this.

    Amato has a long way to go before he can be spoken in the same sentence with the above.

  • Both men and women's lacrosse at #1.

    Too bad we didn't pull off the soccer title.

  • kinda off topic-- but I don't like how lax has the final 4 setup (semis on saturday, finals on monday) I know for marketing reasons, NCAA tourney style final 4's are what the TV and NCAA folks want, but the quality of play tends to suffer on that monday final with both teams having played less than 48 hours before, usually in high heat and humidity. Seems like every sport has to have a "final 4". I'm not sure what the solution is and I know how popular final 4 weekend is but I don't think you get each team's best on finals monday.

    I actually don't even think it is the best for basketball either, (I think more time between semis and final would be better for the teams, more rest, more opponent prep etc.) but the tournament format is so perfect for TV and packaging etc. so it will never change.

    I would put him at them if he could just meet up to my qualifications from that previous post. 1st team AA and NC. I don't think that's pie in the sky thinking...we've had some great goalies and Amato is one of them.

    Thanks man. Is it true as someone posted above that the 2013 class has ~4 of the top 10 players in the country including the #1 prospect? If so... damn!

    My avatar is Matt Rambo the #1 recruit for 2013. He is from the Philly area where the Terps have recruited well recently.
