Division I Position Rankings, March 28
Peter Baum, Billy Eisenreich, Mike Sawyer, Thomas Schreiber, Kiel Matisz and Marcus Holman — six of the 14 offensive players have spent their time in college playing either attack or midfield. That reflects the changing nature of college lacrosse (and underscores the lamented loss of the feeding attackmen and two-way midfielders), and it also makes this type of exercise even more difficult.
UnCensered: Does Hopkins Have The Right Stuff?
Over the past couple years, championship teams have used similar blueprints: Have a premier attackman who can control the flow of the game and orchestrate high-octane half-field attacks (Stanwick, Ned Crotty, Kenny Nims); and a few guys who can dominate between the 30s (Chris LaPierre, Parker McKee, Matt Abbott) to tilt the possession war and generate transition opportunities.

UVa. lacrosse cranking out victories, no matter the tempo
Reality set in a bit for the Virginia lacrosse team. It was a week into a monthlong stretch that annually created its share of consternation.
Today's beats: Brian Setzer is basically a human defibrillator. The guy has revived not one but two dead music genres: Rockabilly (which, as a zombie music genre, probably should've remained resting in peace) and big band swing. That second revival sold a lot of khaki pants, sure, but it still makes your rump shake. Here's "Rock This Town" off of The Dirty Boogie:
