In this weeks show, I'm going to talk about why I have Notre Dame, Syracuse & Johns Hopkins sitting atop my poll vote, in that order. Many are going to light me up for it, but after Notre Dame took down Virginia, and North Carolina beat Duke, I can't ignore the fact that Syracuse holds victories in the head-to-head matchups between Hopkins and Duke, the only other teams with RPI's higher than theirs.

Every weekend has brought some chaos to the college lacrosse world, and this weekend was no different. After Boston University took down #1 Army Friday night, Michigan and High Point decided to get in on the upset action with each team scoring late on the way to Michigan upsetting Maryland, and High Point stunning UNC. Princeton, Cornell and Penn all handled their business in Ivy league play.

#6 Syracuse hosted the #4 Duke Blue Devils in the Dome on Wednesday night and came away victors, with a 10-4 statement win. The Orange defense played their best game of the season, and in reality the best defensive game any team has played all year long. They held the Duke attack to just 2 goals and an assist. Will Mark was a monster with 14 saves for the Cuse and Owen Hiltz put up 3 goals in the win.

Syracuse and Johns Hopkins are back near the top of the college lacrosse world, and everything is great when these two teams play in a top-10 matchup. #9 Syracuse defeated #2 Johns Hopkins 14-13 in an instant classic. Maryland needed overtime to take down a very pesky Brown squad. Notre Dame edged Ohio State, Virginia & Duke both pulled away in the second half to pick up wins. It was Penn State beating up on Cornell that was the surprise of the weekend.

We didn't have as many top notch college lacrosse matchups this weekend, but we still had some solid games. Johns Hopkins took down North Carolina pretty easily and it could have been better for the Jays if they didn't assult numerous UNC players down the stretch. Maryland hosted Princeton and showed that the Tigers losses in the offseason were too much for them to overcome. Rutgers put the beat down on Loyola as did Utah over Vermont. Penn needed overtime to take down Delaware in a very exciting matchup, and Denver scored a late goal and outlasted Cornell by the end out west. We'll cover these games in depth, with highlights as well as many others in this weekends college lacrosse recaps.

The biggest game in this glorious weekend of college lacrosse is #4 Maryland taking on #5 Syracuse in the Dome on Saturday as the days nightcap. It will be Joey Spallina and the Syracuse offense taking on Ajax Zapitello and the Maryland defense. The battle at the faceoff dot between Kohn and Wierman should be fun to watch.

#3 Virginia will travel to take on #17 Richmond. The Spiders only lost to Maryland by a goal in 2OT's, so they are battle tested and ready to go against a Virginia team that could be scary good offensively this year.

#7 Army will travel a short distance to take on #11 Rutgers. I like Army in this one, but Rutgers has a very good offensive team. #20 Loyola against #9 Hopkins should also be a very good game with a similar rivalry to Army and Rutgers.

We'll talk about those games and many more in this weeks college lacrosse preview show.

My first thought as I looked at the second week of games was "there aren't a lot of bangers" here. But as always, the college lacrosse gods have spoken and the more I dove into some of these matchups, the more I feel we should see some solid games.

Virginia hosting Michigan could be promising, but at the end of the day, can Michigan's defense stifle the UVA offense enough to keep things close? Johns Hopkins hosting Georgetown also has the makings of a solid contest, but after getting smoked by Loyola a weekend ago, do the Greyhounds have some trouble on the horizon? Hopkins was upset by Denver in week one, but bounced back with a solid win over Towson. Which Hopkins team will show up?

Maryland will host Loyola (coming off the Gtown win) and I expect this to be a solid fight. Syracuse will be the first team to play three games and should be 3-0 after beating Manhattan on Friday night. Rutgers takes on Stony Brook (on the road) in a game that could be closer than many expect.

We also get to see Duke again, North Carolina will take on Mercer leaving Notre Dame as the only ACC team that won't have played yet. I'll talk about these games and many more in this weeks college lacrosse weekend preview show.

We saw Loyola beat up on a Georgetown team that is trying out all sorts of new starters. Maryland needed 2OT's to take down Richmond on the road. Rutgers eeked out a 2-goal win over Lehigh. Ohio State was losing to Utah for most of the game before rebounding and picking up the win. We'll talk about all of these games and more in this seasons first college lacrosse weekend roundup.
