Inside Lacrosse Podcasts

Matt Bocklet is back alongside host Peet Poillon to talk to Joe Spallina — Stony Brook head women's coach, former New York Lizards coach, current US Women's National Team assistant and coach of the Team 91 LI Crush (2020), Smash (2022) and Wolfpack (2023) — and his son Joey, IL's No. 1 ranked player in the Class of 2022, an attackman for Mount Sinai (N.Y.) committed to Syracuse.

Nick is fresh off of tailgating at Merrimack, but he's got time to join Terry and discuss Richmond upsetting UVA, Notre Dame crushing Syracuse, Duke throttling Carolina, Yale's OT win vs. Penn and Jacksonville's harrowing victory vs. High Point. In order to get more color from New Haven, they're joined by Dan Arestia, who shares his observations on the pregame chatterr.

Four Top 20 matchups highlight another big weekend of college lacrosse, and D-Fly & Dixie are here to preview the big games. Rutgers head coach, Brian Brecht, is the guest this week as his Scarlet Knights prepare to take on the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays in the Big Ten Sunday night game of the week on BTN.

In addition to the previews, they discuss Dan’s desert family getaway, the inconsistencies in this week’s IL Media Poll, officials’ replay reviews and a certain basketball game between ACC rivals. In an April Fools' Day-inspired Give & Go, they recount some of the better pranks they have seen over the years on April 1.

It's Midseason Week on Inside Lacrosse, so Nick and Terry begin by discussing their teams, players, players, goals and social media moments of the year. They then welcome on Patrick McEwen, aka @LaxFilmRoom, who is Inside Lacrosse's Data Specialist and joins to discuss the current state of the RPI as it relates to NCAA Tournament selection (28:10).

Conference play heats up as the first full weekend of spring brings three Top 10 matchups and another three games featuring a pair of Top 20 opponents. Plenty of quality action for fans across lacrosse nation.

In this week’s March Madness-inspired Give & Go, they look at the men’s lacrosse potential of the remaining Sweet 16 basketball schools. Time for some athletics directors to step up and make it happen.

Dan Kaplan and Caleb "Big Dog" Abeny connect for an early season check in on the DIII Landscape. The guys are excited to launch this project and look forward to bringing you more DIII lax pod content.  Listen in on a deep dive of the current Top 20 and much more.

After a strong rookie season in the National Lacrosse League, Kellen LeClair had to stop playing professional lacrosse because of a heart issue that he thought would keep him out of the game forever. 

But after a surprising improvement in his condition, LeClair is back and grateful to have rejoined the Calgary Roughnecks and returned to the game he's played since he was three.

Hear his story of why he had to stop playing, the passion he found to replace lacrosse, and how excited he is to be back in the NLL and — what a bonus — playing with his little brother.

Check out the LaxBeat Podcast from IL Indoor's Stephen Stamp.

Your hosts Peet Poillon and Matt Bocklet are back, this time talking to one of the few other Pittsburghers in college coaching. After spending 15 years crafting a really unique program and team identity at Robert Morris, McMinn became the second head coach in Utah program history last summer and has the Utes off to a fast start.

The Madness is upon us. Nick joins Terry on Monday night (because he was busy watching Notre Dame hoops lose on Sunday night) and they discuss Maryland's impressive showing vs. Virginia. For an added assist, they welcome in former Terp Brian Phipps to hear his thoughts on why Maryland is so good, and then they dive into an epic Ivy League weekend, Notre Dame's win over Michigan and more.
