Thursday of Championship Week is the single-best day of the year for college lacrosse fans. It’s a marathon day of intriguing rematches of playoff-worthy teams battling for their postseason lives. Championship Thursday is so significant and so awesome that this week’s D-Fly & Dixie Podcast is delivered a day early to get you pumped and prepped for a massive day of upsets, season-ending disappointments, survive-and-advance moments, but always high-caliber lacrosse.

This is it. This is what every team in lacrosse has been gunning for since Fall Ball started nine months ago, namely to get better every day so that you are playing your best lacrosse in May. Everything is on the line - the glory of a conference championship, the league’s AQ and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

After discussing some news, including the RPI and head coach openings at Providence and St. John’s, the guys commence the game previews. In this week's food-inspired Give & Go, you finally get the definitive ranking of over-the-counter salad dressings that you've all been starving for.

Let’s get it.

In the midst of a season in which they’ve clearly been “ahead of schedule,” Harvard assistants Neil Hutchinson and Will Corrigan join Peet Poillon and Matt Bocklet to discuss the Crimson’s season, working for Gerry Byrne, fitting into the culture in Cambridge and life in Boston.

Five teams competed at the first women's edition of the annual European Box Lacrosse Invitational. The event is commonly called EBox, so the women's version has taken the nickname SheBox. The tournament was the first opportunity for women in Europe to play box lacrosse, which will have a women's world championship for the first time in 2024. This week on LaxBeat, host Stephen Stamp has conversations with five participants in the inaugural SheBox, which was universally acclaimed as a huge success.

The five guests have diverse backgrounds, but they all agree that SheBox was a huge first step for lacrosse in Europe and was a seminal moment in the growth of the women's box game.

The regular season is all but over — we're onto conference tournaments (aside from Duke-Notre Dame). Did this weekend's results ensure that only two (at most) ACC teams can make the NCAA Tournament? Terry and Nick start by discussing Yale's OT win vs. Harvard — one of the most entertaining games of the year — and Cornell's win over Princeton before transitioning to Notre Dame's one-sided win over Syracuse (continuing a trend) and touch on SoCon and Patriot League Madness.

Can you believe it? How did the regular season go by so fast? D-Fly and Dixie are here to get you pumped for the final weekend of the regular season which includes pivotal games up and down the college lacrosse landscape. 

But first the guys recount a sad weekend that saw the demise of Hopkins Lacrosse and the passing of legend Richie Moran. They discuss both topics, and then bring in writer, IL contributor and friend Christian Swezey to talk about Coach Moran’s legacy.

One of the key games this week features Army West Point and Boston University, and Mark had a chance to talk to Terriers’ head coach, Ryan Polley. In the interview they discuss the success of this year’s Terriers, spring boarding out of the tough 2021 pandemic season, the leadership of the senior class, coaching lacrosse at a “hockey school,” the Patriot League gauntlet, and of course, T Anthony’s.

The boys are back together and this time Peet Poillon and Matt Bocklet run a three-man weave with Christopher Newport head coach Mikey Thompson, who has the Captains 16-0 and IL's No. 1-ranked team with their regular season complete.
