Hat Trick Lacrosse Picks

Spring break across the college lacrosse landscape sees teams making the most of travel opportunities. This week's slate of games doesn't have the firepower as prior week's, but as we progress into may each game becomes all the more important. More conference play opens up and in the D3 world, all eyes are on the Mustang Classic!

The Richmond Spiders find themselves at No. 1 in our top 20 and they’ve got a big time showdown with a Georgetown team that’s desperately looking for a signature win. Can Syracuse put away a resurgent Hopkins team on the road? Can Ohio State build with another top 10 win against Notre Dame? We preview these games and (as always) all the others in our Week 5 episode.

A wild Week 3 saw many of the top ranked teams fall and a top 20 shake up that left everyone asking who’s No. 1. Week 4 brings us a boatload of notable matchups with teams seeking to get back on the right tracks. With Glaeser out, Dreiband and Voigt have you covered.

With all teams having played at least a game, the season really gets going in Week 3. There are competitive matchups up and down the slate this week. Our marquee matchups feature both blue bloods and teams trying to separate themselves from the doldrums of D1. Dreiband has an edge over Voigt and Glaeser, can they catch him this week?

Week 2 sees the Ivy League take the field for the first time, as well as some other notable northern teams like Albany. There are a ton of great games, but all eyes are on the dome for the headliner matchup between No. 1 & 2 - ‘Cuse & Maryland. Voigt is making the trek up to catch this spectacle in person and we can’t wait to hear how it goes!

If you thought Week 0 had a lot of schedule adjustments, then ditto for Week 1, just this time the games are actually happening! Week 1 sees essentially every team (except the Ivies and a few others) play, and we’ve got you covered for all of them. With games equally spread across Friday and Saturday, it's a great weekend of lacrosse leading up to the Super Bowl!

This Week 0 has some headliners that will assuredly have consequences come May. There are 3 top 15 matchups, all where the lower seed has a great chance to make an early season statement. There’s also great action with the likes of Utah at Delaware and Lafayette at Air Force. It's season 4 of Hat Trick Lax Picks - tune in!

The final preseason episode features previews of the always competitive Ivy and second year resurrected NEC. Plus we've got our preseason top 20. We'll be back in a few days with Week 0 picks. Enjoy the previews!

We're just over a week out from the start of the 2026 season and in this episode we examine the "new look" Atlantic 10, the powerhouse Big Ten, and the ever chaotic Patriot League. We'll be back soon with our final preseason episode and top 20!

Preseason Episode 2 features a preview of the America East, Big East, and everybody's favorite - the MAAC. We talk teams, standings, and tournament projections. Enjoy!
