IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello unpack a pair of incredible finishes — Siena's four-goal run in the last minute to beat Manhattan and Lafayette's buzzer-beater to top Boston U — plus Jordan Faison's caused turnover that led to the Notre Dame's eventual game-winning goal.



From there, they bring on former Brown star Larken Kemp to discuss the Bears' win over Princeton. Kemp shares his thoughts on what it must be like for Virginia coach Lars Tiffany to have their regular season losing streak to Duke extend to 19, and they wrap by talking about Army's win over Navy and Denver's big Big East win over Georgetown.

4/12 D-Fly & Dixie Podcast with Cornell’s CJ Kirst

Caleb has returned from his bachelor party to reclaim his role as the co-host of IL’s DIII Podcast. The fellas have Wesleyan coach John Raba on the show to talk all things Wesleyan lacrosse. The three of them hit everything from fatherly life advice to what NOT to do when you are on your visit as a prospective Wesleyan student athlete. Among the many things that the trio dives in on, is what, if any, similarities exist between this 2024 team and the group that conquered DIII in 2018.

Mixed in, they discuss Hopkins' 9-8 overtime win vs. Penn State in Baltimore, Colgate's upset of Army, Virginia's domination of North Carolina and much more.
