StonyBrook has an opportunity to beat a good Florida team this weekend followed by games against Northwestern and Hopkins next week. Hopkins gets a chance against a good Drexel team. Vanderbilt has an opportunity against a good Denver team to take another step forward. Should be a fun weekend of lacrosse.

Notre Dame vs Virginia should be a good one. Not sure how good Florida is, they were blown out by 10 goals to Maryland and according to some of the experts on here Maryland isn't very good. Looks like a must win for Stony Brook because they can't afford a loss if Florida is not strong. Jury still out on The Dragons of Drexel, they just got beat soundly by a Navy squad that struggled with Mt. St Mary's and lost to St. Joseph's who is no powerhouse. Vanderbilt vs Denver will go a long way in helping the winner especially if both teams continue to do well. Can't see Northwestern beating UNC but you never know. Looking forward to a lot of good games.
