From the CTPost: The lacrosse season of high expectations gone, Yale’s Andy Shay waits.

Yale was on spring break, so that meant the lacrosse team was practicing at 1 o’clock at Reese Stadium on the afternoon of March 11. The program’s sports administrator called the team’s trainer to let him know that he and athletic director Vicky Chun would arrive shortly.

Here’s a great video from Towson.

From Inside NU: Northwestern men’s basketball player reviews - Pat Spencer.

Chris Collins took a gamble last year when he offered Pat Spencer a scholarship. It had been four years since he played competitive basketball, as he spent his undergraduate days as a lacrosse star at Loyola Maryland, even winning the Tewaaraton Award in 2019. Yet Collins saw something in Spencer, whose first love was actually basketball, not lacrosse.

From Newsday: NCAA ruling might give Hofstra coach Seth Tierney and son Ryan another season together.

Hofstra men’s lacrosse coach Seth Tierney and his son Ryan, a senior on the team, discuss how the coronavirus outbreak has affected the team, the NCAA’s eligibility extension and the decision facing Ryan about potentially returning for another season.

The grind never stops.

#LaxDad: Former Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak discusses on radio show MIAA’s decision to keep possibility of spring season going during coronavirus crisis.

The MIAA reaffirmed its commitment after a two-hour conference call that high school athletes would be allowed to compete in the coming months if Gov. Charlie Baker lifts a ban on school closures that is currently in place until May 4 ... The former University of Maryland football player has been cooped up – like many of us – in his home amid this COVID-19 pandemic. One of his daughters, Samantha, is a goalie in lacrosse. She is a freshman at King Philip Regional High School in Wrentham.

Big post coming up later today.

More than 50 friends, classmates, teammates and well-wishers greeted Cardinal Mooney Catholic School senior lacrosse player Michael “Mikey” Bavaro on Tuesday afternoon at Dolphin Aviation. The 18-year-old Bavaro, who was injured and paralyzed from his waist down in a boating accident March 19, was transported from Sarasota Memorial Hospital to a medical plane that was taking him to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, which specializes in spinal cord and brain injuries.
