I always say that this Thursday to Sunday run of the conference tournaments and the Selection Show is the best four-day stretch of every lacrosse season. Teams have spent the last year working toward this, only the best teams are playing, every game is meaningful and the familiarity of playing conference rivals a second time begs for potential drama.

We'll also talk about a few preseason Top 20 teams that didn't come close to matching the high expectations, and what comes next for those programs. In addition, we'll talk about the NCAA's all-time goal scorer, CJ Kirst, hotel front desks, the Ann Arbor lunch scene, predetermined sites hosting without the home team and much, much more.

Our guest this week is Rutgers standout sophomore goalkeeper and 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Cardin Stoller.

WEEKEND PREVIEW Six games in our preview this week, with five legit Top 20 matchups and two Top 10 games and one of the best rivalries in the sport to highlight this week's schedule.  SATURDAY No. 5 Army (9-1, 4-1 Patriot) at Navy (7-4, 3-2), 12:30 p.m., CBS Sports Network One of the best rivalries in the sport. Army has won the last two years, but Navy won 4-of-5 prior to that. While this is one of those rivalries where record truly doesn't matter, that is not the case. We haven't talked about Navy in a while, but they're right behind Army. No. 19 Johns Hopkins (6-5, 0-3 B1G) at No. 8 Penn State (7-3, 1-2), 1 p.m., Big Ten Plus What can you say? The Jays need this. Hopkins has controlled this series, winning last year and four of the last five meetings. However, this one is at Penn State, and the Nittany Lions have won four of the last five meetings in University Park. No. 6 Maryland (8-2, 1-2 B1G) at No. 2 Ohio State (11-1, 3-0), 2 p.m., Big Ten Network Big game in Columbus. Maryland has dominated this series, 14-3, and the Terps have won six in a row and eight of the last nine.  No. 7 North Carolina (8-2, 1-0 ACC) at No. 12 Duke (9-3, 0-1), 4 p.m., ACC Network Fans may remember last year when a depleted UNC shocked No. 2-ranked Duke, 15-12. The 2025 Tar Heels aren't going to sneak up on anybody. No. 4 Syracuse (9-2) vs. No. 1 Cornell (9-1), Uniondale, N.Y., 4 p.m., Corrigan Sports Network Cornell has won four of the last five, including two consecutive. The game has gone into OT each of the last two meetings, with Cornell winning 18-17 in 2OT last year, and 16-15 in 2022. We can only hope for another one as good as those. SUNDAY No. 14 Michigan (6-5, 2-1 B1G) at No. 18 Rutgers (6-6, 2-1), noon, Big Ten Network Rutgers is 10-1 all-time against Michigan, dating back to 2012. RU lost in Ann Arbor in 2015 in the first ever meeting of the two teams as Big Ten foes. Since then, Rutgers has won nine straight, including a 6-0 all-time record at home against the Wolverines. In this week's Ovie-themed Give & Go, the guys talk about Ovechkin breaking Gretzky's record and Ovie's status in the pantheon of Washington, D.C. all-time great pros.

Whether it was Rutgers' upset of Maryland, Syracuse's win over Notre Dame in front of a record crowd in the Dome or Penn State's comeback at Michigan, IL's Terry Foy, Larken Kemp and Nick Ossello (who was brave enough to show up for a portion of the episode despite the Irish's loss) unpack Week 9 of the college lacrosse season.

As we head into the month of April, Inside Lacrosse has released its first Bracketology presented by Get Reps. Based upon RPI and Strength of Schedule, I wasn't surprised at the top four (Princeton, Maryland, Notre Dame and North Carolina), but it was something to see the nation's No. 1 team, Cornell, as IL's seventh best resume and the current third-ranked team, Ohio State, on the outside of the bubble. But hey, that's why we play the games! This week there are five Top 20 matchups and one delicious Top 10 matchup for your viewing enjoyment. D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you ready. And as teams battle the week-to-week storms of April conference play, don't forget that famous old expression, “April showers bring May prowess.” Ok, maybe I just made that up, but the teams that weather and grow from conference battles always set themselves up best for the postseason.  This year, Inside Lacrosse is proud to partner with the NCAA to offer you, our loyal listeners, $5 off all single-day ticket options (men and women) by using the code ILPOD at checkout.

On a weekend when the hierarchy of games wasn't immediately clear, the results didn't stop the world on its access and the season-long trends weren't upended, the boys produced what they think is — inarguably — the best Tailgate Podcast of 2025 so far. IL's Terry Foy, Nick Ossello and Larken start with a breakdown of Army's win over Carolina, discuss Notre Dame doubling up Duke, stop in College Park for Maryland's bounceback win over Penn State, then dive into what is annually one of the most anticipated matchups in the game: Syracuse at Virginia. On top of that, they examine whether it was a better for Michigan or a worse loss for Hopkins, then parse through the Ivy League, highlighted by Larken's appearance at the Brown tailgate.

It's hard to believe we've reached the middle of the season. (Be sure to check out IL's Midseason All-Americans.)

The thing that makes sports so great is that anything can happen, and that is why they play the games. It sets up another exciting weekend of action, and D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you ready.  This year, Inside Lacrosse is proud to partner with the NCAA to offer you, our loyal listeners, $5 off all single-day ticket options (men and women) by using the code ILPOD at checkout.

As we approach our fourth weekend of college lacrosse action, what do we really know? Some teams look like legit contenders, and some hyped contenders look very pedestrian. Do we know anything yet?

This weekend should provide a scintillating slate of action. We'll get to see at long last the much-awaited 2024 debuts for many of our favorite teams. Additionally, last week's surprising results set up critical games for a few teams with high aspirations in 2024. The D-Fly and Dixie Podcast, presented by Simplicity Group, is here to get you ready to enjoy it all. Let's get it! The guys start by commenting on Hopkins bounce back win over Towson, on which Mark teamed with fellow Blue Jay Quint Kessenich on the broadcast. They recap last week's stunners, including Loyola's easy win over Georgetown and the pre-game tailgate delicacies. Dix also gives his remarks on Denver's theft on Homewood, as well as an appreciation for the success of the newly-adopted use of instant replays in college lacrosse. For a deep dive into Name, Image and Likeness this week, D-Fly and Dixie interview Mark Koesterer, the author of NIL for ALL: A 30-Minute Guide to NIL and the founder of The Players NIL. It's a fascinating conversation. They discuss the legislation and timeline that led to today's current NIL landscape, who's benefiting, who's paying, collectives, the lack of governance and guidance, how coaches and administrators are dealing with it and so much more. Bottom line – there is significant opportunity available for college lacrosse players. THIS WEEK's BEST GAMES No. 5 Johns Hopkins (1-1) at No. 12 Georgetown (0-1), noon Loyola (1-0) at No. 6 Maryland (1-0), noon No. 11 Michigan at No. 3 Virginia, noon Villanova at No. 4 Penn State (0-1), noon No. 8 Army vs. UMass, Atlanta, Ga., 12:30 p.m. In a “The Greatest Night in Pop”-inspired Give & Go, the guys draft their choices for the Top 3 musical artists they would call if they were in charge of creating a modern day version of “We are the World.” Dixie's choices are…..

On the heels of Kevin Brown's Inside Lacrosse story on Friday that coaches at the IMLCA Convention discussed shortening the shot clock after a face-off win and outlawing the clamp, IL's Terry Foy talks to former Albany/Yale/Denver face-off specialist and former Rutgers face-off specialist Joe Nardella about the prospective changes, how big a deal outlawing the camp would be, what problem the coaches are trying to solve, whether FOGOs feel picked on and much more.

PLL analyst Joe Keegan joins Inside Lacrosse's Dan Kaplan and Kevin Brown to set the stage for the 2023 PLL title game between the defending champion Waterdogs and the high-powered Archers. Can the Waterdogs repeat? Will the Archers become the league's fourth title winner? From comparing overarching storylines to discussing coaching strategies and the impact of injuries, this is a must-listen.

Inside Lacrosse's Dan Kaplan and Kevin Brown welcome on both PLL championship game head coaches in Waterdogs' Andy Copelan and Archers' Chris Bates.

Bellarmine head coach Andy Whitley joins for the sixth installment of this month's series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?" Whitley's path to being a Division I head coach was not conventional, nor was it a straight line. He starts by explaining how he get to Louisville, then the conversation turns to June 2019, when he produced about 500 player evaluations for Inside Lacrosse's Recruiting Database when he was between his tenure as a Fairfield assistant and taking over for the Knights. Through that lens, they discuss the system and process of evaluating players, and how that's informed how Whitley and his staff approach building their roster.

It's been six weeks since IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello turned on the microphones, and they're back with an unusual topic (spurred by recent events on Twitter): the fraught nature of breaking lacrosse news. A part on Inside Lacrosse media strategy and a short-lived dabble for Ossello, the duo discusses what they think is the appropriate approach to breaking news. They then pivot to recapping the 2023 World Lacrosse Men's Championship, where Ossello called 19 games and Foy was on-site for seven days. They discuss the U.S. gold medal win over Canada, Austin Staats' star turn, the Japanese team's emergence as a medal contender and an ugly moment at the end of the Japan-England game.
