Who are the top men’s lacrosse recruits for 2019. Which colleges are landing top lacrosse talent for the upcoming season. How are recruiting rankings determined for incoming lacrosse freshmen.
Inside Lacrosse’s Power 100 Incoming Freshman Rankings
Inside Lacrosse has released its highly anticipated Power 100 rankings for incoming men’s lacrosse freshmen in 2019. This comprehensive list provides insight into the top recruits who will be making their college debuts in the upcoming season.
At the top of the rankings is Connor Shellenberger, an attackman from St. Anne’s Belfield in Virginia who will be attending the University of Virginia. During his impressive senior season, Shellenberger showcased his versatility by racking up 62 goals, 38 assists, and 53 ground balls.
The Class of 2019 represents one of the last groups to go through the early recruiting process before recent rule changes were implemented. Many of these players have been in the spotlight for 4-5 years already, experiencing both triumphs and challenges along the way including school transfers, commitment changes, injuries, championships, and broken records.
Breaking Down the 5-Star Recruits
The Power 100 rankings are divided into star ratings, with the elite 5-star recruits at the top of the list. Some of the standout 5-star recruits include:
- Connor Shellenberger – Attackman committed to Virginia
- Kenny Brower – Defenseman committed to Duke
- Dyson Williams – Attackman committed to Duke
- Alec Stathakis – Faceoff specialist committed to Denver
- Graham Bundy – Midfielder committed to Georgetown
- BJ Burlace – Defenseman committed to Yale
- Jake Caputo – Midfielder committed to Duke
These top-ranked recruits are expected to make an immediate impact when they arrive on campus and begin their college careers.
Analyzing Recruit Distribution Among Top Programs
Looking at where the 5-star recruits are headed provides insight into which college programs are bringing in elite talent for 2019. Duke stands out with three 5-star commits, including two top-3 recruits in Kenny Brower and Dyson Williams. Virginia and Georgetown each landed two 5-star recruits as well.
What factors contribute to certain programs consistently landing top recruits? Some key elements include:
- Program prestige and history of success
- Quality of coaching staff
- Strength of current roster
- Academic reputation of the school
- Conference affiliation
- Geographic location and campus amenities
Programs that excel in multiple areas tend to have an advantage in attracting elite recruits year after year.
Recent Commitments to Hampton, LIU, and Hartford
While the Power 100 rankings focus on the very top recruits, many other talented players are committing to a wide range of college programs. Recent commitments have been announced for Hampton, Long Island University (LIU), and Hartford.
Hampton secured a commitment from Kenny Yeaher, a 2019 goalie from Northwest High School in Maryland. At 5’6″ and 135 pounds, Yeaher is noted for his quick hands, good footwork, and ability to make saves from multiple angles.
LIU, which is moving up to Division I next season, landed Sean Kennedy, a 2019 midfielder from Comsewogue High School in New York. As a dual-sport athlete who also plays football, Kennedy brings athleticism and versatility to the field.
Hartford picked up two 2019 commitments:
- Dylan Snow – 6’1″ 188 lb attackman from Silver Creek, NY
- William Smith – 6’2″ 205 lb defenseman from Cherokee, NJ
These commitments demonstrate how programs at various competitive levels are working to build their rosters with promising young talent.
The Impact of Early Recruiting in Lacrosse
The Class of 2019 represents one of the final groups to go through the intense early recruiting process that had become common in lacrosse. Recent rule changes implemented by the NCAA have altered the lacrosse recruiting landscape.
Why was early recruiting so prevalent in lacrosse? There were several driving factors:
- Intense competition among college programs for top talent
- Pressure on recruits to secure spots at desired schools
- The rise of recruiting services and ranking systems
- Increased specialization and year-round training for youth players
However, concerns about the impact on young athletes led to rule changes. How has the recruiting process changed? Key differences include:
- Delayed timing for official recruiting contact and visits
- Restrictions on verbal scholarship offers to underclassmen
- Limits on off-campus contact during early high school years
These changes aim to allow recruits more time to develop physically and mentally before making college decisions.
Evaluating Recruit Potential Beyond Rankings
While recruit rankings generate excitement and speculation, it’s important to recognize their limitations. How accurately can a player’s future college performance be predicted based on high school achievements?
Several factors make projecting recruit success challenging:
- Physical and mental development varies greatly during college years
- Adapting to higher level of competition takes time
- Team fit and coaching can significantly impact player performance
- Injuries or off-field issues may derail promising careers
Coaches must look beyond pure athletic talent when evaluating recruits. What other qualities are important?
- Work ethic and coachability
- Leadership potential
- Academic focus
- Character and maturity
The most successful recruits often combine elite physical tools with these intangible qualities that allow them to maximize their potential at the college level.
The Role of Prep Schools and Post-Graduate Years
Among the top recruits, many have attended prestigious lacrosse prep schools or taken post-graduate years to further develop their skills. How do these experiences impact recruiting?
Advantages of the prep school route include:
- Exposure to high-level competition
- Access to elite coaching and training facilities
- Opportunity to improve academic standing
- Extra year of physical maturation
- Increased visibility to college recruiters
Notable prep schools represented in the Power 100 rankings include Culver Academy, Hill Academy, and Salisbury School. These programs have a track record of producing Division I talent year after year.
However, the prep school path isn’t necessary for recruiting success. Many top recruits come directly from public or private high schools across the country. Ultimately, talent and hard work can shine through regardless of a player’s specific path.
Looking Ahead: Impact of 2019 Recruits on College Lacrosse
As these highly touted recruits prepare to begin their college careers, expectations are high for their potential impact on the lacrosse landscape. How might the influx of elite talent shape the upcoming season and beyond?
Possible effects to watch for include:
- Increased parity among top programs as talent spreads out
- Tactical innovations as coaches adapt to players’ skillsets
- Record-breaking statistical performances from standout freshmen
- Shifting power dynamics within conferences
- Accelerated development of underclassmen pushed by talented recruits
While it typically takes time for even the most gifted recruits to adjust to the college game, the Class of 2019 has the potential to make both immediate and long-lasting impacts on their respective programs.
As the season approaches, all eyes will be on these incoming freshmen to see who can translate their high school and club success to the collegiate level. The journey from top recruit to college star is never guaranteed, but the talent and potential in this class provide plenty of reason for excitement in the lacrosse world.

Over the weekend we saw Hampton, LIU, and Hartford all land commitments./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/62727979/GrayWeb2018_1.0.jpg)
Hartford got two 2019 commitments, while LIU and Hampton just got one commitment each from a player in the class of 2019.
Hampton got a commitment from 2019 Northwest (Md.)/Maryland Xtreme goalie Kenny Yeaher. The 5-foot-6, 135 pound goalie has good footwork, technique, and has very quick hands. He can make saves from multiple angles and coming from different ranges. Yeaher seems most comfortable saving midrange and long shots. He is also great at stopping anything that goes low, and he know how to use his body as well.
2019 Comsewohue (N.Y.) midfielder Sean Kennedy announced his commitment to LIU over the weekend. The midfielder will be part of the first DI recruiting class for LIU as they move up next season. Kennedy is a dual-sport athlete as he plays football as well. He is able to use his athleticism all over the field, making plays multiple different ways.
Hartford picked up two 2019 commitments over the weekend from Silver Creek (N.
Y.) attackman Dylan Snow and Cherokee (N.J.) defenseman William Smith.
Smith is a good on-ball defender and know how to use his size and frame to his advantage. The 6-foot-2, 205 pound defenseman is very good at hustling to scoop up ground balls.
As a 6-foot-1, 188 pound attackman, Snow is able to put the ball in the back of the net from multiple spots on the field. He is able to beat his man and sting the back of the cage from in close and midrange.

Michigan Women’s Lacrosse Signs Nine to National Letters of Intent
11/15/2019 12:28:00 PM
// Megan McIntosh

Top 2019 Lacrosse Recruit Shellenberger Commits to Virginia
Virginia Lacrosse head coach Lars Tiffany pulled in his first big recruit on Wednesday when the No.
1 player in the class of 2019, Connor Shellenberger, verbally committed to the Hoos.
No. 1 soph Connor Shellenberger, an attackman for St. Anne’s Belfield (Va.) and @MADLAX1, has committed to UVA. Big victory for Lars’ staff.
— Ty Xanders (@tyxanders) October 19, 2016
Shellenberger, currently a sophomore at St. Anne’s Belfield (STAB) in Charlottesville, de-committed from Johns Hopkins University on 5 October. As a freshman at STAB, Shellenberger scored 21 goals, dished out 18 assists, and picked up 32 ground balls.
Recruiting Rundown’s Ty Xanders, who first broke the news, compares Shellenberger to a notable UVA lax alumni:
“Though they play different styles, Shellenberger’s playmaking ability and deceptive athleticism is reminiscent of what Steele Stanwick provided as a young standout in the Baltimore area. The Madlax product dodges with poise from just about anywhere – he can line up on the wings, thrive from X or comfortably make things happen from up top.
He’s a constant force and offensive leader who is seldom limited, often putting up multi-goal performances with flair.”
While it could have taken at least one season in Virginia with Tiffany at the helm for recruits to be drawn to his fast paced style, Shellenberger decided that now was the right time to commit.
“Last year their top three scorers (at Brown) were attackmen, so being an attackman fits right into what I want to do, I want to go to UVa, I want to score goals, I want to win national championships.” Shellenberger told NBC29. “My parents, my family are real excited to see me come home but really it was just the style of play of the coaches, right when I stepped on campus I felt an instant bond.”
On top of the bond he felt with Tiffany, the hometown feel of Virginia was a big seller.
“I really started to notice recently how awesome it is, after going to the different schools and going through the process a second time,” he said in an interview with CBS19.
“I really started to get the hometown feel, and I really started to realize how awesome it is to be able to basically look across the street from my school every day and see UVA, and to be able to one day play in that stadium.”
Shellenberger, who was also considering Duke, got the celebrity treatment.
On his recent visits, Shellenberger was so much of a priority that Duke brought out Coach K. For the Hoos, Tony Bennett & Bronco Mendenhall.
— Ty Xanders (@tyxanders) October 19, 2016
While both Shellenberger and the Virginia fans will have a few years to wait until he’s in a Cavalier uniform, his impact may be felt immediately.
“Looking forward,” Xanders said, “…there’s no doubt that Shellenberger’s commitment could act as a domino effect, as he’s the type of talent that other young players will want to play alongside in Charlottesville.”

2019 college lacrosse camps for high school athletes
USA TODAY High School Sports has a weekly column on the college recruiting process. Here, you’ll find practical tips and real-world advice on becoming a better recruit to maximize your opportunities and play at the college level. Jason Smith is a former NCAA DIII athlete and college coach at all three division levels. Jason is just one of many former college and professional athletes, college coaches and parents who are part of the Next College Student Athlete team. Their knowledge, experience and dedication, along with NCSA’s history of digital innovation and long-standing relationship with the college coaching community, have made NCSA the largest and most successful athletic recruiting network in the country.
Which college lacrosse camps offer the best value? College lacrosse camps offer student-athletes a chance to increase their recruiting exposure and get evaluated by coaches, making them an important part of the recruiting process.
College lacrosse camps are especially helpful for those who may not have a lot of access to recruiting exposure in their region, allowing athletes to hone their skills and potentially check out a college they’re interested in.
However, researching the right camps to attend and finding prices for each one can be a time-consuming process for families that don’t have a lot of time to spare. That’s why NCSA has compiled a definitive list of every men’s lacrosse camp and women’s lacrosse camp in the country. You will also find the date, age level and cost of each college lacrosse camp, potentially saving you hours of research time. Check them out here:

What does a lacrosse camp invitation mean?
Not every college lacrosse camp invite is the same. If you’ve received a camp invite from a coach you’ve been communicating with, that’s a great sign and likely means that you’re on that coach’s radar.
However, if an invite you’ve received looks generic, you’re probably not on that coach’s radar yet. You’ll get the most out of camp if coaches know who you are, so make an effort to build a relationship with coaches ahead of time. If you can’t attend, you should still make sure to respond to all your camp invites. This way, you can still try to connect with coaches and even share your highlight video.

Before you register for camp
A great college lacrosse camp experience is largely a result of good preparation. First, do your research on the school and program before you register for camp. Attending a camp is a great opportunity to improve your skills and get recruiting exposure, but the decision to do so should be based on your family’s budget.
If you have received a camp invite to a college on your list and your family can afford it, you should consider attending. Even if you’re not a serious recruit for that program, you can get valuable camp experience.
If you’re working with a tight budget, focus on your target schools or look at who else will be in attendance at the camp in question. If coaches from other colleges will be present, especially ones from schools you are considering, it might be worth stretching your budget to attend. It’s valuable to get seen by multiple college coaches in one camp. However, if you can’t afford a camp, make sure to still respond to your invite.
Student-athletes need to be strategic in choosing the right college lacrosse camp to attend since just showing up won’t guarantee you’ll get noticed by college coaches. Make sure to connect with coaches before attending to get on their recruiting radar and improve your chances of getting evaluated.

What are the different types of lacrosse camps?
- Prospect camp: often invitation-only and restricted to club athletes. Brings top recruits in and has them stay overnight for three to four days, providing athletes with skills development, competition and evaluation. Offers an opportunity for schools and coaches to evaluate their top choices.
- Clinic: a shortened version of a camp, usually lasting one day.
- College camp: the camp may have many talented players attending, but it can’t be invite-only. If it’s hosted on an NCAA college campus, it must allow anyone to attend regardless of ability level.
- Showcase: a tournament usually organized for club teams. There can be a wide variation in skill levels across clubs, but this is where college coaches do most of their recruiting.

What to expect at lacrosse camps
Student-athletes should expect to perform a variety of drills focusing on offensive and defensive individual skills training. This can include goal scoring, team play, defense, positioning, ball control, and passing and receiving.
Additional goalkeeping instruction can include communication, proper warmup, basics of stance, stopping screened shots, stick skills, basic clearing, and more. Also, one-on-one instruction with written evaluations can be offered at camps. Meanwhile, showcases offer attendees a chance to compete against other athletes in a competitive game setting. Wherever you choose to attend, you’ll want to do your research ahead of time. Depending on your personal lacrosse recruiting situation, you’ll want to consider how much a lacrosse camp focuses on fundamentals, individual evaluations, strategies or team play. If you’re not ready to compete against top athletes, you may want to focus on skills development.
How to make the most of your college lacrosse camp experience
Make the most of your camp experience by following a few simple tips:
- Be prompt: College coaches notice student-athletes who arrive late. Double check registration and start times to ensure you’ll get there early.
- Bring all the essentials: You’ll want to be at your best when competing in front of college coaches. Make sure you have all the equipment you need to do just that: stick, goggles, helmet, cleats, mouthguard, water, towel, sunscreen, etc. You can check the camp’s website, too, as it typically outlines everything you should bring.
- Stay positive: College coaches look for recruits who are coachable, so they’ll evaluate your body language and attitude on and off the field. It’s important to stay positive, because it shows coaches that you’re mentally tough.
- Check out campus: Stick around after camp and visit the university to get a feel for the campus. If there’s another college nearby, make the most of your day and check out that one, too. Seeing a college campus in person can help you decide if it’s the right fit for you.
Make sure to follow up after the camp
Once you’ve left camp, your camp effort isn’t actually over.
Maintaining communication with college coaches is extremely important, so after camp you’ll want to follow up with coaches and thank them for the opportunity. You can also ask them about which skills you need to improve. Afterward, whenever you have noteworthy updates to share, such as new video or verified stats, email them about your progress. Building relationships with college coaches is essential to staying on their radar and getting an offer.

Albany The Doge’s Men’s Lacrosse Team represents the University of Albany in the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse College.
Albany is currently attending the America East Conference and playing his home games at Bob Ford Stadium. The team made it to the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship ten times. Now Great Danes are trained by Scott Marr.
History
The program began in 1970 with 3-7 records in Division III. In 1975 the program will reach the ECAC Division III tournament under the direction of coach Dave Armstrong. From 1975 to 1997, the Danes played in two more ECAC Division III tournaments.In 1997, Great Danes will reach the final of the ECAC Division II tournament.
2000-2006
In 2000, Great Danes began playing in the Americas at the Division I level. In 2001, Scott Marr took over the management of the program. Although the Great Dane finished 3–8 in 2001, they averaged 8–6 regular season results to win the 2002 Eastern American Conference Regular Season Championship. They will make it to the championship game, but will lose to the Stony Brook sea wolves 8-6.
Led by a new generation of recruits, some of the first scholarship lacrosse players in high school history such as Kevin Rae and Luc Dakino, Danish Danes will start making strides in college lacrosse in 2003. –6 and seek revenge on Stony Brook in the 11–5 East America Semifinals to advance to the University of Hartford in the American East. On May 3, 2003, Albany will defeat Hartford 7-5 to win their first-ever American East Championship.They will face off and lose to Princeton University in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The success of Great Danes will not end after 2003. With new recruits and a strong core of returning players, the Danish Danes will continue their championship path. In 2004, including a defeat at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the Great Dane will win another American East Championship. In the first round, they will play Syracuse University and lose 21-13.
The surge will continue in 2005 when the Danes beat Stony Brook 16-7 to win their third consecutive East America Championship. However, the curse of the first round of the NCAA Tournament will continue as the Great Danes were torn down by the University of Virginia 23-9.
2006 will not be a good year for the Danes. With Luke Dakino leading career points and rescuing leader Kevin Rae graduating from high school, the team was young and excellent.The Danes made their way to the America East Tournament but lost 19-10 to UMBC. However, the Danes will soon return to their victorious paths.
Despite the 2006 wrestling season, the program made a big step forward during the season. In the fall of 2005, John Fallon Field was completed and became the new home of the Danes. Weatherproof facility, Albany finally found a place to call. In previous seasons, the team played home games at University Field. However, due to harsh winters and rainy springs, the field was usually not in playable condition during lacrosse season.Because of this, many home games have been played in local high schools and community colleges. With John Fallon Field, Albany now had one of the best open lacrosse fields in the northeast.
2007 season
For the 2007 season, the lacrosse team will be ranked in the top 25 in USILA and Nike / Inside Lacrosse polls and reach 2nd in the USILA poll. Notable victories were at No. 1 in the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays and No. 10 in Delaware. On May 13, 2007, the men’s lacrosse team became the first Division I team to advance / win a match in the NCAA Tournament, beating Loyola College Maryland 19-10 in front of nearly 3,000 at John Fallon Field.A week later, the Great Dane were defeated by the undefeated Cornell University 12-11 in the NCAA quarterfinals at Princeton University.
The team was ranked 4th in the Nike / Inside Lacrosse poll, the highest ranking for any team in the history of the school. Head Coach Scott Marr was named USILA I Division I Lacrosse Coach of the Year, completing an excellent season.
One of the top stars of the 2007 lacrosse team was senior striker Frank Resetarits.He will become the first Great Dane in the school’s history to receive an All-American First Team Awards as he was selected to the 2007 USILA All-American Team. Resetarits was also named a Tewaaraton Trophy finalist. Resetarits will also be the first lacrosse player in school history to be selected to the Major League Lacrosse, selected by the Washington Bayhawks, but will be traded and debuted with the Long Island Lizards. Resetarits will also join the National Lacrosse League, finishing 5th overall in the San Jose Stealth in the 2007 NLL Draft.
UAlbany elite scorer Merrick Thomson has joined Resetarits. Thomson signed with the New Jersey Pride at the MLL and then finished 2nd overall in the Philadelphia Wings in the 2007 NLL Draft.

Season 2013
The 2013 season opened with great expectations. Many in the media believed the team had an opportunity to go far in the NCAA tournament.These predictions were further strengthened at the start of the season in Syracuse. The Danes have never defeated the Orange, who ranked 13th in the country. However, UAlbany will knock them out in double overtime at 16-15. It will be Syracuse’s first early-season defeat since 1996. Anthony “Antdog” Ostrander played a key role in the win, knocking out Jojo Marasco, arguably Syracuse’s best player, in double overtime to seal the win.
After 5-3 in the next eight games, the Danes will go to Johns Hopkins.After the games were broadcast on national television (ESPNU), the Danes made another chagrin. UAlbany, ranked 20th at the time, would have defeated Blue Jays 10-9 in 10th. Freshman goalkeeper Blaise Riorden had the best game in his short career with 20 saves.
The Danes finished the season 4-1, 11-4 in total. For the second time in the history of the program, Albany will play 5-0 in America’s East regular season. Surprisingly, Great Danes walked 9–2 on the way, and at home – only 3–2.On May 4, after five years without a title, the Danes defeated the UMBC 19-10 to win the American East Championship. However, Great Dane will drop to Denver in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Head coach Scott Marr will take his 100th career win over UAlbany this season.
Thompson Trio
Much of the success of Great Danes in 2013 was centered around one family. Miles Thompson, Ty Thompson and Lyle Thompson (also known as the Thompson Trio) were vital contributors to the German Danes’ attack.Miles and Lyle are brothers, and Ty is their cousin (another brother, Jeremy Thompson, played for Syracuse until 2011). All three were star recruits who came to UAlbany. All three were born in the country of Onondaga, a nine-square-mile independent political entity recognized by the United States. Each of the Thompsons had a traditional local hairstyle with long braids that became their trademark in the field. The three also became known for their skills on the pitch, which included stunt passes and club handling, backstabbing, one-handed punches, and their quick agility.
In 2013, Ty Thompson scored 51 goals, Miles scored 42, and Lyle scored 46 in the NCAA tournament. The Danes’ fourth top scorers, Will Fuller and John Maloney, have scored just 18 goals. Lyle Thompson would be a key factor for the Danes. The sophomore played a vital role in leading the nation’s championship with 108 points in 17 games. Lyle became the eighth male lacrosse player in NCAA history to score 100 points in a season. He finished seven points behind NCAA record holder Steve Marahol (UMBC) with 114 points (37g, 77a) set in 1992.He won the America East Player of the Year award and became the second Great Dane to receive the title. Finalist for the Tevaaraton Prize and the first Indian to be named a finalist for the Tevaaraton Prize.
In 2014, the Thompsons will continue their incredible game. Despite a shaky 9-5 in the regular season, the Great Dane will be the No. 1 overall seeded America East Tournament. Lyle became only the third player in conference history to win consecutive Player of the Year awards. With at least four points in all 14 games played, the junior attack earned 61 best assists and 37 goals in the division in the regular season.In the America’s East Tournament, Lyle became the first Division I player to score two seasons of 100 points. On 3 May 2014, Great Danes will win their second consecutive East American Championship, beating UMBC 20-11.
On May 10, 2014, Great Danes will face Loyola in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Loyola was the number one team in the country to enter the game. The Great Dane, with strong defensive play, defeated Greyhounds 13–6 for the second NCAA tournament win in school history. In this game, Lyle will be the DI season record holder on points, breaking Marahol’s record he just missed the previous season.In game, Miles also overtook Marahol to finish second on the list after five goals and two assists. The Danes will lose 14-13 in overtime to Notre Dame in the quarterfinals next week.
As a junior, Lyle averaged the most points in a single season in DI history, averaging 128 points and a single-season assists record of 77, adding 51 goals. He became the first player in DI history to score a couple of seasons of 100+ points after finishing with 113 points last year.In 18 UAlbany games in 2014, he scored at least four points, including 11 seven-point bouts. He was named Division I Player of the Year and Outstanding Attacking Player by the US Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) in 2014.
On May 29, 2014, Miles and Lyle Thompson were named co-winners of the 2014 Tewaaraton Trophy. This was the first time that two players shared a trophy and a Native American was awarded. Two days later, Miles and Ty were officially recruited into the active roster of the MLL Rochester Rattlers.It was also announced that Miles will return to the program in 2015 as a graduate assistant.
The success of the Thompson Trio on the field led to a national press appearance in late 2014. CNN, CBS, and ABC all aired nightly news about them. The New York Times also published an article about them, which was placed on the front page of the newspaper. In all of their speeches, the three talked about their heritage, embracing their heritage in UAlbany, supporting the Onondaga people, and promoting the game of lacrosse.
One of the greats
In 2015, Lyle Thompson established himself as one of the greatest student lacrosse players in NCAA history. He was named the winner of the 2015 Tewaaraton Trophy as the best male lacrosse player and was the first ever male lacrosse player to receive this award in two consecutive seasons. In 2015, Thompson led the NCAA on points per game for the third straight year, with 6.37 per competition and 3.63 per game per competition. He finished with the best 121 NCAA Division I points, the second highest tally in a single season in DI history, and 69 assists, adding 52 goals.He will lead UAlbany to its third consecutive America East Regular Season Championship and Tournament Championship. The Danes will face Cornell in the first round of the NCAA tournament, winning 19-10. In the 2014 quarterfinal rematch, UAlbany will fall to Notre Dame 14–10. Thompson ended his career as the Division I leader in points and assists of all time, ending up 400 points back, 175 goals and 225 assists in the 2012-15 season with UAlbany. During his career, he played 70 games, scored 68 of them and earned several points in each of the last 44 games, including all competitions in 2014 and 2015.
# 1 Ranking and Final Four
2018 kicked off with much anticipated hype as Great Dane looked like they were going to have one of the best offenses in the country, led by senior Connor Fields and new freshman Tehoka Nanticoke, one of the highest ranking high school players in the country. The Danes will open the season by placing 3rd in the country. UAlbany did not disappoint, beating Syracuse 15-3 in the first game. A week later, following an 18-5 victory over Drexel, the Great Dane will be voted the # 1 team in the country in a poll of coaches by the US Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) and a media poll by Inside Lacrosse Maverik.For the first time, the UAlbany Division I Team and any DI program linked to the New York State System (SUNY) have ranked first in its history. The Danes will win eight games in a row, placing first in the ranking of the team in the country, including a stunning return in the 4th quarter against the runner-up Maryland from 11-10 March 10, 2018. The streak and first place in the ranking will last until April 6. when UAlbany was upset with UMBC 11-7.
Much of the mid-season success for UAlbany has been achieved without their key weapon on the pitch.Connor Fields suffered a knee injury in a March 24 win over UMAss-Lowell. He re-injured his knee in the penultimate game of the season, losing 14-6 to Yale University. However, the new stars were supposed to lead the Great Dane to success. TD Sophomore Face-Off Specialists Ierlan has become a star, becoming one of the elite fighters in the country. Sophomore Jacob Patterson and senior Kyle McClancy stepped up the attack, while goalkeeper JD Colarusso was the force at goal.
The Danes will advance the America East Tournament as the # 1 seed and become the hosts to take home the title on May 5 in a 14-4 win over Vermont. UAlbany will win second place in the 2018 NCAA Lacrosse tournament, The round of the tournament will host South Conference champion Richmond Spiders. Despite close early play, UAlbany won 18-9 to advance to the NCAA quarterfinals to face the Denver Pioneers on the Hofstra.
In the May 19 match, two elite programs converged on equal terms.Much hype, however, has centered on the battle between two of the best throw-in players in the country, UAlbany’s Ierlan and Denver’s Trevor Baptiste. In this game, each player would go 15 out of 30. Ierlan had the final throw-in victory and the ground ball with 38 seconds left as Walbani ran out of time to win. During the game, Ierlan scored his 341st face-off win of the season, setting a new NCAA season record. The former record holder was Brendan Fowler, who won 339 face-off wins for Duke in 2013.The game was tense until the end: the Danes were in the lead with four goals and less than five minutes left. Despite a fierce comeback, UAlbany held on 15-13 and made it to the Final Four for the first time in school history after playing 0-4 on its previous trips to the quarterfinals. Final Four ”men’s division I. Today UAlbany also broke the record for the most victories in a single season with a 16th victory. In 2015 UAlbany was 16-3.In addition, the senior class of UAlbany won the 59th victory, becoming the best class in the history of the program. In just four years the class had 59-11 points.

90,000 “What Would Jennifer Do?”: From Dietland, Based on Real Misogyny
I finished reading the book by Sarai (https://talifa88.livejournal.com/535037.html). Delighted. Author, write more! Books 3-4 at least, please! It’s like a balm for the soul.
Below is one of my favorite pieces of it:
“At the prestigious University of Connecticut, frat recruits with a bunch of Greek letters in their name marched outside the women’s dorms, chanting ‘No means yes, yes means’ anal ‘! ” In previous years, this example of “inappropriate behavior” was discussed by the disciplinary committee – old men in tweed who gathered in a conference room for tea and coffee.But this time, the students decided to get down to business themselves. They all left the hostels in a crowd and moved to the building of the brotherhood. They threw stones at him, broke the windows and set fire to him. By morning there was nothing left but charred ruins.
One of the girls who participated in this came to the studio of Sherryl Crane-Murphy: ‘When I heard the guys from the fraternity chanting their heresy, I thought:’ What would Jennifer do? ‘ Then I grabbed a lacrosse club and went to kick someone ‘”*.
Sarah created this excerpt based on the realities of our Zombieland:
“Students outraged as Yale fraternity suspended for ‘no means yes’ chants establishes chapter at Edinburgh” (https: // www.independent.co.uk/student/news/students-outraged-as-yale-fraternity-suspended-for-no-means-yes-chants-establishes-chapter-at-
45.html),
“Yale Frat Pledges Chant “No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal” ” (https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/10/17/yale-frat-pledges-chant-no-means-yes-yes-means-anal/) ,
“At Yale, students found to be sexual assailants return to campus” (https://www.businessinsider.com/yale-sexual-misconduct-story-2018-1),
“10 things, which female students should not have encountered at university ” (https: // femunity.livejournal.com/124000.html).
Of course, at the entrance to these temples of science there is no warning that anyone who dares to propagandize, glorify sexual violence against female students, will be kicked into the ass with no chance of recovery. Each student understands that he (even with wide publicity), most likely, older men will only shake their fingers, laughing at the same time (because they themselves are the same), and that’s it. So this kind of news comes out:
“For months, members of the feminist group Feminists United Club (hereinafter FUC, part of the liberal Feminist Majority Foundation) have been threatened with violence at Mary Washington University in Fredericksburg, Virginia.Documents leaked to The Huffington Post indicate that the university was fully aware of the ongoing online harassment of feminists through the anonymous Yik Yak app. Despite the awareness, the administration did not take any action to eliminate hostility towards female students …
On March 27, students received an email from the university leadership saying that the university “does not have the resources to combat such cyberbullying”; female students were encouraged to report threats to the creators of Yik Yak directly. ”
(news title “ Murder of Libphem student Grace Mann in Fredericksburg, USA ”, fat italic mine, https: // feminism.livejournal.com/422228.html),
“In the United States, there is an acute problem of sexual violence on university campuses. According to some reports, every fourth female student has experienced this in one form or another. It is up to university commissions to deal with such incidents. However, these structures are interested in maintaining a good image of educational institutions and therefore often try to hush up shameful incidents by taking the side of the rapists, not their victims ”(https://lenta.ru/articles/2014/12/19/rape_on_campus/).
This is what “equal opportunities” look like in terms of getting an education in practice. According to male laws, you are either a victim who can achieve little peacefully, or a criminal (= self-defense, protection of other virgins), whom they can punish as severely as they will not punish your offenders. And then they pout and hypocrite: “You are sick of us, you don’t want us under any sauce? But why?! What have we done wrong to you? Well, here’s a bunch of dead flowers for March 8, stay feminine, sexy whipping pear !…. Hey, where did you go? Take those fucking flowers, bitch! ”
* Dietland / Sarah Walker; per. from English A. A. Mokhovoy. – Moscow: Eksmo, 2018.
90,000 Fitness requirements for army reserves
All candidates for the army, including candidates for reserves, must pass an army physical fitness test. You will need to score at least 50 points in each of the three sections of the test, and your score depends in part on your age and gender. The test is always done in the same order: push-ups, then situps, and finally a two-mile run.Recovery between test sections can take a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 20 minutes.
Pushup Test
You will have to do push-ups under the supervision of a secretary who will only count the ones that you are doing correctly. You will need to lower your entire body to the ground and keep it straight. You will have two minutes to complete as many push-ups as possible. The score depends on age and gender. For example, a 21-year-old man might dial 50 out of 35, and a woman of the same age might dial 13.
Situp Test
The situp test requires you to complete as much as you can in two minutes. You will have to keep your knees bent 90 degrees, your feet flat on the ground, and your partner with your feet. You won’t get credit if you can’t fully lift your torso or use your arms to lift yourself up. Sitaps are rated according to age. A 25-year-old player receives 50 points for 43 and 100 points for 80 or more.
Two Mile Test
Two-mile practice test results measure your cardiovascular endurance.You are allowed to walk or slow down, but your score may suffer. Men between the ages of 17 and 21 receive 100 points if they can do it in 13 minutes or less. The minimum passing mark for this group is 16:36. Women in the same age group should take no more than 7:42 pm. They get 100 if they finish at 3:36 pm or less.
Test Questions
If you have a physical disability or some long-term medical condition, you can replace the two-mile run with another activity, such as swimming or a stationary bike.As of 2013, the Army was considering conducting two separate tests. One will be a physical readiness test for all recruits, and the other will be a combat readiness test for military personnel preparing for missions.

The 2019 tour will also feature 34 recruits from across the country.
“Given that we saw demand for the FLW Tour this year, we could not be very enthusiastic to kick off another season at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in January,” said Bill Taylor, FLW Senior Director of Tournament Operations. …“FLW has long been home to some of the sport’s brightest bass players and with extended live coverage at all of our tournaments this year, we’re more than ready to showcase our skills in some of the finest fishing.

90,000 Site of Russian hockey fans – www.kuzbassbandyclub.ru
On the first day of August at the Kemerovo stadium “Khimik” an ordinary and extraordinary incident happened.In the first category – the traditional floorball match of the Kuzbass hockey players with the fans, in the second – the participants of the motor rally on the Krasnoyarsk-Alma-Ata route, timed to coincide with the World Winter Universiades-2017, 2019.
The motor rally was initiated by the Krasnoyarsk TV channel “Yenisei”; the World Universiade-2019 will be held in the city of multiple champions of the country in field hockey. And fourteen travelers went to the capital of Universida-2017 in five cars and made their first stop at the Kemerovo stadium “Khimik”, where the expedition was warmly greeted by officials and the head coach of “Kuzbass” Nikolai Kadakin.
Just at this time, both the Kuzbass hockey players and the team of fans were warming up on the artificial grass. Our guests were offered to play floorball, to which they readily agreed. Here are the names of the daredevils: Aleksey Shalaev, Denis Sultanovich, Anton Deynyuk, Andrey Kozlov and Maxim Krapan, who said after the match that “floorball is not like chess at all”.
Kuzbass fans are a well-knit team, which includes famous masters of Russian hockey (including boots) and floorball: Alexander Savelyev, Alexey Subbotin, Sergey Samoshkin, Evgeny Kazakov, Alexander Zamaraev and Valery Martynovich.
Team captain Ernest Gorkovsky this time picked up the referee’s whistle and strictly suppressed violations of the rules, and after the end of the match he again called the teams to the green lawn: just at that time the live broadcast of the Yenisei TV channel began!
“Kuzbass” helped the fans to “close” the goalkeeper’s position, delegating to the opponents Alexander Dubrovsky, who, of course, had much more difficult time than his colleague in the role of Evgeny Voronkov.
“Profi” was put up against amateurs fighting structure: Denis Goryachev, Artyom Savelyev, Vladimir Kalanchin, recruits Vyacheslav Shvetsov, Mikhail Seledkov, Kirill Sokolov, as well as Sergey Likhachev, Ruslan Gavrichkov, Dmitry Fetisov, Igor Ivanov …
The head of the rally, deputy director of the Yenisei TV channel Anastasia Lushnikova watched the game through the camera lens, but looked up from the tool, telling the author of these lines:
– Our trip is a kind of “bridge” between the capitals of the two Universiades.In Alma-Ata, we will see sports facilities, get acquainted with the preparation for the student forum, about the most interesting, including, of course, a trip to Kemerovo, we will tell on the air of our channel.
In the meantime, the “pros” overcame the team of fans and participants of the rally, in total, friends-rivals sent a dozen goals into the goal.
During the match, the rest of the Kuzbass hockey players were energetically doing fitness training and probably thought it would be better to play floorball.
And the head coach of the team, Nikolai Kadakin, in an interview with the Yenisei TV channel, lucidly explained that Kemerovo has the largest stadium for Russian hockey, the largest children’s and youth school in the country, and that over time, Kuzbass will definitely surpass the Krasnoyarsk club.
The sports evening ended in the Kuzbass locker room, where, on behalf of the fans, Alexander Chekryzhov presented the original prize to Denis Borisenko, who was recognized as the best player in Kemerovo in the past season by the results of online voting.
Who said Monday is a hard day ?! Monday is a significant day! In any case, for Denis Borisenko, who played really well in the season and showed that he has remarkable potential.
