Inside Lacrosse Podcasts

The boys are back to have a chat heading in to Championship Weekend. A ton of RIT and Union talk, each team specifically and the matchup specifically. And The guys take a look back at last week's action and how the Quarters/Semis played out. A loaded episode thats a ton of fun and even includes a recognizable pump-up speech.

On a very special episode of the Playing Catchup Podcast, IL's Alyssa Murray Cometti and Maggie Koch interview legendary North Carolina and U.S. Women's National Team soccer player Mia Hamm about the growth of women's sports, her journey as an athlete, being a lacrosse mom and much, much more. Murray is then joined by Rachael DeCecco to preview the NCAA Women's Semifinals and Tewaaraton race.

Peet Poillon and Matt Bocklet are back for a solo episode in which they talk about NCAA Quarterfinal venue selection, the Final Four teams, head and assistant coach openings and the transition to the summer club season.

Well that wasn't as dramatic as the First Round.

On the heels of Maryland's 18-9 win over Virginia in the last of four NCAA Quarterfinal games, IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello dive into the games, moving from the Terps to the Tigers, who beat Yale 14-10, to Rutgers' 11-9 win over Penn and finishing with Cornell's 10-8 win over Delaware.

On the eve of Quarterfinal Weekend, D-Fly & Dixie sit down with IL contributor and author of We Showed Baltimore, Christian Swezey, to break down the four titanic matchups. Before they get into the game previews, they talk about the incredible crowds and game day atmosphere of the first-round games, the IL All-American Team and the departure of John Grant, Jr. from Johns Hopkins.

The guys then go in-depth to break down each of the Quarterfinal games on Saturday and Sunday. All games are available on ESPNU.

IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello are back to unpack the first round of the NCAA Tournament, starting with the Delaware Blue Hens' shocking upset over Georgetown. They then go through each of the weekend's games, starting with Princeton's defensive lockdown of BU, Penn's Sam Handley reliance, Yale-Saint Joe's unbridled playmaking, the electric atmosphere at Brown-UVA, Luke Wierman's improvement on display in Maryland's win over Vermont, Gavin Adler's production despite his assignment in Cornell's win over Ohio State and Rutgers' offensive explosion vs. Harvard. They end with Nick saying many, many nice things about the NCAA selection committee.

This week, D-Fly & Dixie present your guide for the first round of the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Tournament, one of our favorite episodes of the year. Definitely the longest. The show begins with some thoughts on the tournament field and reactions to Selection Sunday. Both Dan and Mark get a chance to rant a bit, and it’s quite healing. 

They then review both Vermont and Delaware’s victories in the mid-week NCAA play-in games before getting into the game previews. Eight games on tap. Four each day. All available on ESPNU.

This week’s guest is Harvard head coach, Gerry Byrne. In his first full season at the helm in Cambridge, Byrne and the Crimson earned an at-large berth and are preparing to face Rutgers on Sunday.

In an Italian restaurant-inspired Give & Go, the fellas provide a definitive ranking of the very best pastas. Mangia!
