High Point vs North Carolina, Army vs Virginia & Loyola vs Richmond (LaxFactor Podcast #136)
February 17, 2021 14:26 - 32 minutes - 25.7 MBWe had a great game on tobacco road Tuesday with North Carolina holding on late to deal High Point a loss by a score of 17-15. Chris Gray held court putting up another 7-point game (3 goals, 4 assists) and Asher Nolting took point for High Point and had a monster 4 goal, 5 assist outing in the loss. Antonio Arcona stood on his head in cage for High Point putting up 18 saves on the day. On Sunday, Virginia hosted Army and while UVA handled their business in the 14-9 win, Army looked decent i...
College Lax Recaps: Duke, North Carolina, High Point, Denver All Get Wins (LaxFactor Podcast #135)
February 14, 2021 16:09 - 21 minutes - 17.2 MBWe had our first full weekend of college lacrosse action and as always, it didn't disappoint. Michael Sowers and Joe Robertson each put up 4 goals in Duke's win over Mercer. North Carolina and Chris Gray continue their quest for glory waxing Jacksonville and Gray put up 4 goals and 3 assists in the UNC win. High Point and their big cat Asher Nolting had themselves a day beating up on Robert Morris 21-15. Nolting got help from teammates all over the place while he himself went for 3 goals a...
LaxFactor Weekend Previews: Army vs Virginia, Loyola vs Richmond & More (LaxFactor Podcast #134)
February 10, 2021 13:46 - 28 minutes - 22.9 MBIn the official first week of college lacrosse action, we have Army taking on Virginia after UMass was forced to cancel, we have Richmond hosting Loyola in a top 20 matchup, Air Force on the road at Denver in what already feels like a must win game for Denver and much more. Connor Shellenberger, Payton Cormier and Charlie Bertrans proved that UVA can win big even without Matt Moore and Dox Aitken. Army is solid, but lost quite a bit of talent from last years roster, so UVA is still a heavy ...
LaxFactor Weekend Recaps (Week 0), Towson/Virginia, Utah/Bellarmine & More (LaxFactor Podcast #133)
February 07, 2021 15:18 - 22 minutes - 18 MBWe had a few more college lacrosse games to enjoy this weekend, in what has come to be known as Week Zero. The big game Saturday was technically Towson playing at Virginia because it was our second glimpse into the quality the ACC will put on display this year. Towson jumped out to an early 4-2 lead before UVA got settled and trounced them from there. Redhsirt freshman Connor Shellenberger was good for 4 goals and 3 assists, redshirt sophomore Payton Cormier went for 6 goals and a helper and...
College Lacrosse Previews: Denver Faces Duke & UNC, Towson vs Virginia (LaxFactor Podcast #132)
February 03, 2021 11:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBWe have our first huge college lacrosse matchup of the year, #5 Denver hits the road to face-off against #1 Duke at 3pm this Friday in what is being dubbed the happy hour game. I myself will 100% be taking work off early on Friday (via getting started by 5am) to watch this one as Denver tries to shake off the dust in order to give Duke a full game. Michael Sowers will make his Duke debut as will Brendan O'Neill. Duke has gone 4-3 against Denver over the last 7 years, with Duke winning the la...
College Lacrosse Weekend Recaps (Week 1), Bellarmine/Mercer, Utah/Denver (LaxFactor Podcast #131)
January 31, 2021 15:21 - 29 minutes - 23.7 MBCollege lacrosse action on Saturday didn't dissapoint with Bellarmine defeating Mercer by two goals in the seasons first action and Utah giving Denver all the Pio's could handle in a one-goal Denver win. Bellarmine took advantage of no Adam Goldsmith and took down Mercer 9-7. Mercer had a 4-2 lead at the half, but Bellarmine chipped back and took down their conference foe by the end. Denver coming in as huge favorites over Utah played as poorly as a team could play on offense over the firs...
LaxFactor Live #002: College Lacrosse Pre-Game Show (Week 1), Bellarmine/Mercer, Utah/Denver
January 30, 2021 18:00 - 57 minutes - 46.4 MBOK folks, lacrosse is here, FINALLY, so let's talk week 1's matchups. Bellarmine at Mercer and Utah at Denver. I had already set lines for these with Mercer -6.5 and Denver -9. As I type this, Mercer is already losing haha, maybe I wasn't so smart. I stand by the Denver line though. I think it's going to be a tough day for Utah.

College Lacrosse Weekend Previews: Utah @ Denver, Bellarmine @ Mercer (LaxFactor Podcast #130)
January 27, 2021 14:39 - 24 minutes - 20 MBYes, TD Ierlan decided to transfer to Denver. Yes, Syracuse has back their full roster and is at full strength in 2021. Both pieces of information are crazy news. But nothing compares to the fact we will be able to watch college lacrosse this weekend. First game of the 2021 season, Bellarmine @ Mercer most likely won't be all that close as Mercer brings back almost everyone from a very good team last year. Mercer returns Sean Goldsmith's 34 goals and 8 assists as well as Michael Quinn's 12 ...
College Lacrosse Is A Week Away, Air Force Plays Brutal Schedule (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #129)
January 24, 2021 16:06 - 29 minutes - 23.5 MBCollege lacrosse is almost upon us. This Saturday, January 30th we will see Mercer host Bellarmine, and Denver host Utah. The following weekend so far has Denver @ Duke (our first realy big matchup), Air Force @ Notre Dame, Robert Morris @ Duke and finished off by Denver at North Carolina. We get right into some serious non-conference matchups right off the bat. Air Force by far plays one of the toughest schedules in the land facing the likes of Notre Dame (2/6), Denver (2/13), Duke (2/27...
TD Ierlan Enters Transfer Portal, Dox Aitken Returning To Virginia & More (LaxFactor Podcast #128)
January 21, 2021 13:43 - 15 minutes - 12.4 MBThe biggest news this week so far, TD Ierlan has entered the transfer portal, but before people start freaking out, lets see what happens with Yale's decision first. It's not looking good for the Ivy League for sure, but lets not jump to conclusions and see how this plays out. Other huge news in the ACC, Dox Aitken is returning to Virginia to play out the 2021 season. He had left and was at Villanova in the fall trying to play some football, but that didn't work out, so he's back at UVA and...
Division I College Lacrosse Bounce Back Teams For 2021 (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #127)
January 17, 2021 15:35 - 29 minutes - 23.5 MBThe college lacrosse season was ended early in 2020, so we don't really know how Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Towson, Rutgers and Bryant would have finished off their seasons, but it's safe to say all five teams will be looking to bounce back and attempt to start 2021 with a bit more giddyup. Hopkins with a new coach and a healthy Joey Epstein have a lot of potential. Notre Dame is barely needs a bounce back as they were pretty solid last year and only had one bad loss out of their three in 2...
LaxFactor D1 Pre-Season Top 20, Richmond Lacrosse 2021 Profile & More (LaxFactor Podcast #126)
January 10, 2021 16:32 - 29 minutes - 23.9 MBCollege lacrosse is almost upon us so here is our pre-season top 20 for division 1 lacrosse in 2021. It starts out really ACC heavy, and gets filled out by the Big Ten and Ivy schools. The list goes... Duke Syracuse Maryland Virginia Denver North Carolina Cornell Penn State Notre Dame Yale Georgetown Loyola Army Ohio State Richmond UMass Lehigh Penn Johns Hopkins Rutgers We'll also rip through and talk about Richmond's squad in 2021 and how I think they should proba...
2021 College Lacrosse Pre-Season Positional Players Of The Year (LaxFactor Podcast #125)
January 03, 2021 17:41 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBSo ripping through my college lacrosse pre-season positional players of the year for 2021, which ends up totally matching US Lacrosse's version of these, here goes... Attack, Michael Sowers (Duke), Midfield, Ryan Terefenko (Ohio State), Defense, JT Giles-Harris (Duke), Goalie, Drake Porter (Syracuse), Specialist, TD Ierlan (Yale), Player Of The Year, Michael Sowers (Duke). It's that simple, we'll also dive into a new segment where we show a funny clip of pro lacrosse players telling stories...
Will Bowen Enters Transfer Portal, Top Returning Defensive Units & More (LaxFactor Podcast #124)
December 24, 2020 14:00 - 23 minutes - 19.1 MBNorth Carolina's Will Bowen has entered the transfer portal, however I don't think this is a big deal, as the situation is simple and makes total sense when you're not jumping to conclusions. We'll talk about the top returning college lacrosse defensive units that include Army, Georgetown, Providence, Ohio State and Syracuse (per LacrosseBucket.com). We'll talk about the D2 and D3 college lacrosse tournaments possibly nixing teams and dropping participation a bit. We'll get into more, but it...
Premier Lacrosse League Eats Major League Lacrosse & Why I'm On Board (LaxFactor Podcast #123)
December 17, 2020 17:37 - 24 minutes - 19.8 MBEveryone knows by now. The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) just absorbed (aka merged with) Major League Lacrosse and lacrosse fans are going bonkers. Some are happy. Some are sad. Some are indifferent. Some are popping hilarious shots at Paul Rabil. In the end, this was inevitable, although I am a touch surprised it's happened so soon. In hindsight though, we all should have seen it coming. In today's episode we'll talk about what this means for the MLL players. What it means for some of the ...
LaxFactor Lacrosse News Quick Hit #1: Inside Lacrosse's Top College Players List, How Is Jackson Morrill Not In The Top 15?
December 13, 2020 20:55 - 14 minutes - 9.66 MBIn this new audio only show, we'll explore news as it comes out, and where there isn't a lot of news we'll simply discuss random lacrosse related topics. In todays first episode, we'll talk about InsideLacrosse.com's top 50 list covering the men only, numbers 50 through 41. Guys we talk about in this episode... #50, Asher Nolting, Attack, High Point #48, Kyle Gallagher, Face-Off, Notre Dame (Penn Transfer) #46, Chase Scanlan, Attack, Syracuse #45, Ryan McNulty, LSM, Loyola #42, Jackson...
D1 Lacrosse Roundup: Top Returning Freshman From 2020 (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #122)
December 10, 2020 14:26 - 31 minutes - 21.3 MBDespite the season getting trashed, 2020 saw a huge number of freshman lacrosse players contributing for their teams at very high levels. Richmond's Richie Connell broke out and became one of the best young attackman in the land. Dyson Williams led Duke in scoring as a rookie which is saying something. Josh Zawada did the same for Michigan putting up 32 points in the shortened season. Other guys I'm hyped up about include Pat Kavanaugh (Notre Dame), Payton Cormier (UVA), Michael Long (Corne...
Owen Hiltz Profile (Syracuse), Offensive Set Question & More (LaxFactor Podcast #121)
December 03, 2020 15:24 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MBOwen Hiltz is the real deal and Syracuse is lucky to have him. I've had him pegged wrong for a while now thinking he was a one-dimensional lefty finisher. He's not that at all. He's an all-around talent that can dodge, finish and feed, a true triple threat. The Culver Academy product should see quite a bit of time at Syracuse in the spring of 2021. Terry Foy also asked a great question over the Thanksgiving holiday... If you are in a 2-3-1 set, how many players do you have behind GLE? I wo...
LaxFactor Mailbag #1: Best Overall Defensive Team In College Lacrosse 2021? The Army Black Knights
November 26, 2020 19:55 - 8 minutes - 6.02 MBIn our first LaxFactor Mailbag Adam Heller asked the question, who will have the best defense and goalie in 2021, and I think the answer to that is easy...The Army Black Knights. Army returns a wealth of talent on the defensive side of the ball including 3rd Team All American goaltender Wyatt Schulper as well as 3rd Team All American close defender Marcus Hudgins. Both players were having outstanding seasons prior to 2020 getting nuked by the virus that shall not be named. Support the chan...
Dox Aitken Not Returning To UVA, Brendan Grimes Profile & More (LaxFactor Podcast #120 Live)
November 26, 2020 15:26 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBIn this episode we'll talk about Dox Aitken making it official, he's not returning to Virginia in the spring. That's going to sting the cavs a bit. We'll do a quick player profile of Brendan Grimes, Hopkins incoming stud and how I think he'll contribute right away. We'll talk a bit about Syracuse and how their fall ball rapped up, including how Desko implied we may see quite a bit of Owen Hiltz this spring. I'll discuss some of the best players that DID NOT win the Tewaaraton award, the mai...
Cormier Staying At UVA, Panther City Lacrosse Club, Best NY Lax Facilities (LaxFactor Podcast #119)
November 19, 2020 14:20 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MBLots of lacrosse news to talk about in todays episode, including, Payton Cormier decided to stay put at UVA and we discuss what that starting attack for the Cavs may look like. There is a new NLL team that was just announced, the Panther City Lacrosse Club, and their logo is SICK as they are rocking purple and red as their colors. Dan Witmer blogged about his favorite (and least favorite Upstate New York lacrosse facilities) so we'll talk about that a bit as well as I tend to agree with him....
UVA's Cormier Enters Transfer Portal, PLL Pinnies Drop & More (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #118)
October 29, 2020 14:01 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MBOne of Virginia's up and coming stars, Payton Cormier has entered the transfer portal according to Terry Foy of Inside Lacrosse. Cormier put up 12 goals and 7 assists over six games in the 2020 season. He put up 3 goals in his first collegiate action and 5 points (4g, 1a) in a UVA win over High Point. Lars Tiffany is hopeful he will decide to stay. I was also surprised to see that Jonathan Donville of Cornell was in the portal. It's possible he too stays put, especially considering Jeff Te...
Brennan O'Neill Is Going To Be A Problem For ACC Lacrosse Teams (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #117)
October 22, 2020 13:24 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MBBennan O’Neill is probably one of the most hyped recruits there has been over the last decade. I can’t remember this much hype surrounding a prospect and their highlight reel (O’Neill’s has 125,000+ views) since Tehoka Nanticoke. I purposely try not to put too much stock in high school kids highlight cuts for a good reason… It’s hard to tell who’s going to live up to the hype, and who’s not. The jump from high school lacrosse, even high end high school lacrosse, to D1 is tough to adjust to ...
Hobart Lacrosse 2021 Preview: Will They Retain The Heat Offensively? (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #116)
October 15, 2020 13:58 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBThe Hobart Statesmen have been as good offensively as anyone over the last three seasons. In 2019 Hobart averaged 13.94 goals per game, good for 9th in the nation. The covid shortened 2020 season saw Hobart sitting at #1 in scoring offense with 19.6 goals per game. A full goal per game more than the #2 team, Cornell. A huge improvement. A big problem is the loss of Eric Holden. Hobart doesn’t have a lot of grad school options, so Holden is off to Maryland where he'll likely see time a...
North Carolina Lacrosse 2021 Preview: Loaded On Offense, But How's The D? (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #115)
October 01, 2020 13:15 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBWith the very exciting addition of coveted transfer Chris Gray, the outlook for UNC Lacrosse in 2020 was good, and they proved the hype was real by starting the season 7-0. Their offense jumped from 12 goals per game in 2019 to 17+ goals per game in 2020's shortened season. Good news, they return almost everyone on the offensive side of the ball. Bad news, the questions about the depth of their defense remain, and that could hurt the Heels if they don't figure that side of the ball out in ...
Duke Lacrosse 2021 Preview: Built To Destroy NCAA Lacrosse (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #114)
September 24, 2020 13:54 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MBThe Duke Blue Devils had a pretty good squad in the shortened 2020 season. Add Michael Sowers to the mix while also retaining the services of pretty much your entire 2020 roster, and that is a recipe for winning of the likes Duke hasn't seen in a few years. I've always been very up front about the fact that I think Michael Sowers is one of the best college lacrosse players of all time. Now Duke has that guy. Couple that with JT Giles-Harris, a guy many argue is the best long pole in the cou...
Joey Spallina (2022) Chooses Syracuse, Will Rock The #22 (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #113)
September 17, 2020 13:26 - 11 minutes - 8.16 MBIt's official, Joey Spallina, the #1 ranked player in the 2022 class as ranked by Inside Lacrosse has chosen Syracuse as his college destination. Also announced by Spallina, he'll be rocking the #22 which was to a degree expected, and welcomed news. Spallina is the real deal and can do it all. He can dodge and create, shoot with space, finish in any manner that is necessary to get the single. Spallina is as close to a guaranteed success as you have when signing players. I expect him to ha...
Whipsnakes & Chaos Advance To The Premier Lacrosse League Finals (LaxFactor Podcast #112)
August 07, 2020 13:38 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MBThe Chaos were potentially the worst team in the Premier Lacrosse Leagues Championship Series over group play, but after winning in the quarters, and then dropping the Archers in the semi's, they have a good shot of going from worst to first if they can beat the Whipsnakes in the second PLL Championship. The Whipsnakes also pulled out a win in their semifinal game against the Redwoods, and it took overtime. Matt Rambo and Zeddy Ballgame (Williams) didn't factor, at least not on the scoreboa...
Matt Gaudet Gets Lit Up By Garrett Epple, PLL Game 7 Recap & More (LaxFactor Podcast #111)
July 30, 2020 13:58 - 23 minutes - 15.8 MBEveryone is talking about Matt Gaudet's trash talk and Garrett Epple retaliating and jacking Gaudet up. My view, you talk trash in the manner Gaudet was talking trash and you risk getting popped. That's what happened, nothing more. Sometimes if you put a bad attitude out into the world, you get a bad attitude back. I'm not saying that Epple was justified in his actions. I'm just saying I'm not surprised. This is how male interactions have gone for 100,000 years and this is how we'll con...
PLL Opening Weekend Was Incredible, Grant Ament & Rob Pannell Did Battle (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #110)
July 28, 2020 13:54 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBThe opening weekend of the Premier Lacrosse League went down as expected. We saw a bunch of good games, all pretty close, and last nights Atlas/Archers game is being called by some, the best pro lacrosse game of all time. I don't buy that, but it was pretty exciting. We saw Grant Ament score 3 goals with a dish in his first PLL outing. Rob Pannell looked good going for a goal and 3 assists in his opener and then putting up 1 & 2 in his matchup last night against the Archers. Bryan Costabil...
MLL Playoffs & PLL Kick Off This Weekend, Pro Lacrosse Overload (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #109)
July 25, 2020 14:12 - 22 minutes - 15.5 MBWe are going to see the Denver Outlaws take on the Boston Cannons in one Major League Lacrosse semi-final on Saturday and then the Connecticut Hammerheads face-off against the Chesapeake Bayhawks in the other semi. Rematches, revenge, everything you want in lacrosse playoff games. But we also get to watch some Premier Lacrosse League action this weekend as the PLL kicks off it’s covid season. We have more lacrosse this weekend than we’re going to know what to do with, 4 games on Saturday ...
Major League Lacrosse Action Kicked Off w/ 5 Games This Weekend (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #108)
July 20, 2020 12:49 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MBPro lacrosse action kicked off this weekend with the Barrage getting dropped by the Bayhawks 16-11. It was a very welcome sight, seeing guys running around on the lacrosse field beating on each other again. The winners of the weekend were definitely the Bayhawks (2-0) and the Outlaws (2-0). Both teams handled their weekend foes and ended up 2-0 by Sunday evening. Both teams looked sharp both offensively and defensively. The Hammerheads took one on the chin losing 18-6 to the Outlaws on S...

July 18, 2020 00:21 - 15 minutes - 10.4 MBLacrosse is finally here!!! Major League Lacrosse is one of the first professional sports to get kicked off this summer through this COVID pandemic and I couldn't be more excited. We get to see Lyle Thompson and the Bayhawks take on Shayne Jackson and the Barrage. We get to see Mark Cockerton and Bryce Wasserman lead the Boston Cannons against the NY Lizards without Rob Pannel. And then in the nightcap, we see the Connecticut Hammerheads (formerly the Rochester/Dallas Rattlers) face off agai...

Connor Kirst To Rutgers, Will York To Notre Dame, Cuse/Hopkins Add Defense (LaxFactor Podcast #104)
May 28, 2020 14:30 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBConnor Kirst, Villanova standount will be heading to Rutgers. That's probably the biggest news this week, an all american caliber player is ditching Nova for New Jersey. A scoring threat from outside, and an absolute bully of a player. Big news for Notre Dame lacrosse with the announcement that they snagged Will York. Big finisher that will play well within the Notre Dame system. The kid had a big 2019 with Bucknell and was off to a big start in 2020 helping lead the Bison to a 5-1 record b...
Duke Lands Top Goalie, Kraus Chooses MLL Over PLL & Furman Shuts Down Lax (LaxFactor Podcast #103)
May 21, 2020 13:37 - 21 minutes - 17 MBDuke Lacrosse already landed the top lacrosse player in the land via transfer, Michael Sowers. Now they have nabbed the best goalie in the transfer portal in St Joe's Mike Adler. The terrible news about Furman shutting down their lacrosse program (baseball as well) broke this week and as a result 30 additional players have entered the transfer portal, including a handful of really solid talent. Interesting pro lacrosse news in that Michael Kraus got drafted by a PLL team and an MLL team an...

First up, Bryan Costabile announced he will be leaving Notre Dame Lacrosse and shall be available for the PLL draft. I think he goes quickly, top-five pick. Cole Williams has decided to remain at Johns Hopkins for the 2021 season removing his name from the transfer portal. Other Hopkins news, John Grant Jr. was named the Jay's offensive coordinator. Grant Jr. is one of the all time great professional la...

TD Ierlan got drafted by the Long Island Lizards (MLL) early in the week and then announced ...
Lacrosse Transfer Portal News: Morrill, Gallagher, Adler, Cotler & More (LaxFactor Podcast #99)
April 30, 2020 16:23 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBEveryone has heard the news that Mike Sowers is heading to Duke. The biggest name to enter the transfer portal beyond Sowers is Yale's Jackson Morrill. A four-year starter with 220 points over his career, Morrill will be a big get for some lucky team. Teammate Lucas Cotler also entered the portal and is probably the highest rated midfielder. Kyle Gallagher (Fogo, Penn), Mike Adler (Goalie, St. Josephs) and Jack Rapine (Defense, Hopkins) are all in the portal as well amongst a bunch of other...
Michael Sowers Chooses Duke & Johns Hopkins Hires Peter Milliman (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #98)
April 27, 2020 13:25 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBIt's not official, but it's kind of official, Michael Sowers has reportedly chosen Duke as his landing spot to play lacrosse in 2021 and it makes a lot of sense. Sowers as I've said over and over is the best player in college lacrosse right now and Duke is now instantly a legit contender again. Michael Sowers is that good and now every time Duke takes the lacrosse field, they will do so knowing they have the best player on the field no matter who the foe. Other big news, Johns Hopkins has ...
Dave Pietramala Out As Johns Hopkins Head Coach (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #97)
April 14, 2020 19:19 - 10 minutes - 8.5 MBDave Pietramala and Johns Hopkins have agreed to part ways and Petro is out as the head coach for the Bluejays. A national search for a new head coach is now underway at Hopkins. Petro went 207-93 with 18 NCAA Tournament appearances between 2002 and 2019. He won titles in 2005 and 2007. It's a sad day for all of us lacrosse fans, even those that had been calling for his head the last 4 or 5 seasons. Pietramala wasn't just the best defender to every play the game, he has also been one of t...
Michael Sowers Enters The Transfer Portal & More (LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #96 LIVE)
April 10, 2020 13:49 - 23 minutes - 18.7 MBMichael Sowers has entered the NCAA lacrosse transfer portal because Princeton & Yale decide no redshirts for withdrawing from the spring semester, which means, no Michael Sowers at Princeton next season. So there is now a very good chance we get to see Michael Sowers play out his senior year SOMEWHERE ELSE. What a crazy world we live in. Exciting news as we could potentially see some of the Yale guys, like TD or Morrill transfer as well. But beyond that, I'll talk a little bit about how ni...
