2025 MLAX Schedule

At 5-3 going into the GTown game in DC,we have little margin of error to remain in Top 20 at this juncture.

We are basically identical to the Hoyas in the polls with Joes and UMASS in the Top 20 and right behind us.

14) Richmond

The Spiders (5-3) have played an insane non-conference schedule, with their three losses coming against Duke in double overtime, Maryland, and a one-goal loss to Cornell. The double OT loss at home to Duke stings because Richmond had chances to win. Anish fired this game up on his iPad, and we were watching on ESPN+ in the Klöckner booth prior to UVA and Maryland. Joe Sheridan had a strong day for Richmond. The Spiders travel to DC this week.


13) Georgetown

The Swamp Dogs (5-2) looked sluggish in a 17-10 win over High Point after a bye weekend. The game was closer than the final score, as the Hoyas pulled away by winning the fourth quarter 6-0. Kevin Miller and Aidan Carroll both had five-point days.

Richmond and Georgetown play this week in what could be considered an NCAA at-large survival game. The Big East foursome of Georgetown, Denver, Providence, and Villanova all have current RPIs outside the Top 20. Georgetown’s wins have come against teams with a combined record of (11-24), so the resume isn’t tournament-ready

#14 RICHMOND (5-3) AT #12 GEORGETOWN (5-2)

Sat 12 p.m. EST | Watch:
FLO | DK: Georgetown -1.5

Richmond storyline to watch:
The Spiders have to win one of these games, don't they? After upsetting Virginia to vault into the national rankings, they've pushed Cornell and Duke to the brink in a pair of one-goal losses. Richmond scored six fourth-quarter goals and led Duke late in the fourth quarter before the Blue Devils battled back to win in double overtime. Seriously, who's more battle tested than Richmond? The Spiders' non-conference slate has included Maryland, Cornell, Virginia, Duke and now Georgetown. Their defense and exceptional goaltending by Zach Vigue has kept them in every game, and Canadian Lucas Littlejon is enjoying a breakout sophomore season with 18 goals, including hat tricks the last two games.

Georgetown storyline to watch: The Hoyas have taken care of business against Brown, Albany and High Point. Have they cured their shooting woes? Georgetown is middle of the pack in shooting percentage (29.7%) but look more closely at its offensive performance against its three top opponents (Johns Hopkins, Penn and Notre Dame) and it's sub-20 percent. If Vigue gets hot, there's legitimate concern.

Unbelievable...13–12 Spiders with 1:08 to go. We were up 12–5 at one point in the third.

Hoyas winning all the face-offs down the stretch, including the latest one. Timeout G'town with 55 seconds to go and the ball, down a goal.
 
Damn, we need to learn to close these games out. I just don't get it. We could be really good if we could figure that out. Still a much needed win.
 
We nearly blew it again but congrats on the team for hanging on for the win! Kudos to the staff and players for fighting thrugh and winning this game. Even though we let the lead slip, hopefully this gives us some confidence to close out tight games moving forward. This team can compete with any team in the country for 55 minutes. Have to do it for the full 60. Bitter sweet because I can’t help thinking about the “what ifs” of beating either Cornell or Duke. Would be at-large candidate, especially considering A10 has gotten a lot better as a conference.

We can play with anyone in the country but we have been having the problems at the end.
Last week we came back on Duke, but lost. This week Gtown did it to us, but fortunately we
won. We’re battle tested and should be ready to take the A-10.
 
Those two goals within 10 seconds by Georgetown were heart stoppers, but give the team credit for the win, and Vigue came up huge with his save on GT's last shot on goal......................

We’ll be 10-3,4-0 before we play @Joes in regular season final.
Don’t overlook UMass this year. Plus HPU is a rivalry game, which mean you never know how it might go. A10 is getting better and adding a good Delaware program next year as an associate. At-large bid opportunities may actually become a thing for us, which is great.
 
Start at 54:45. At one point talk about A10 being the 4th best conference. I agree. I think Patriot league may be close and certainly better top to bottom than big east. Big 10, ACC, Ivy in some order as the top 3 than A10 in my eyes.
