GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, College Crosse Nation! Thanks for making us a part of your day! The holiday break’s over and we’re back to our normal Prospectus schedule. Here’s everything you need to know for January 6, 2020.

College Crosse News

Check out Chris’ breakdown of Brown’s 2020 schedule.

The Brown Bears are the 67th team in our 2020 men’s college lacrosse schedule preview series and the sixth team from the Ivy League. Brown finished 7-9 overall in 2019 and 3-3 in Ivy League play. The Bears lost to Penn in the Ivy League semifinals.

Also make sure to check out Chris’ take on Duke’s calendar this year.

The Duke Blue Devils are the 68th team in our 2020 men’s college lacrosse schedule preview series and the fourth team from the ACC. Duke finished 13-5 overall in 2019 and 2-2 in ACC play. The Blue Devils lost to Notre Dame in the ACC semifinals, but defeated Richmond and the Fighting Irish again in the NCAA Tournament before falling to Virginia in the national semifinals.

Team USA had a close call versus Japan down in San Antonio.

When Shogo Oshima started playing lacrosse as a goalie at the University of Tokyo, he would watch videos of American shooters like Will Manny and envision making saves against them.

They were ready for it this time: Andrei Svechnikov wasn’t able to convert on another lacrosse-style goal versus the Lightning.

Sometimes, the questions at Mike’s Mailbox are easy to answer. Sometimes they’re difficult and require a lot of time and research.

The boys are back in town!
