Check out our latest Crossecast with Ryan & Jake going over all the action from this past weekend.

Thanks for bearing with us in between episodes of COLLEGE CROSSECAST as we had some obligations to take care of last week. We still did a livestream episode on Friday night that’s still up for you to check out, by the way. But now it’s time to give you back the real deal and a brand new episode of the podcast as the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse calendar turns itself over to March.

I’m joined by Jake as we look back on a very fun weekend of college lacrosse. We give you our analysis of the big games of the weekend and start to set the stage of who’s looking like the contenders this season after a month of play.

UNC keeps the good times rolling after beating Denver 15-13 over the weekend.

The No. 4 North Carolina men’s lacrosse team (5-0) took its offensive arsenal out west on Sunday and extended its undefeated start to the 2020 season with a 15-13 road victory over No. 11 Denver (3-2).

What happened?

The altitude did little to slow UNC early on, as the Tar Heels’ balanced offensive attack quickly jumped out to a 5-0 lead. Denver wasn’t able to run a settled offensive set until the second quarter and wasn’t able to put points on the board until it was given the opportunity to rest the defense and play a slower game.
