BIGGEST GAME (SO FAR) FOR SU MEN’S LAX TOMORROW

Another undefeated (to date) season for the Gulls is winding down, and Saturday’s home game against Stevenson will determine each team’s seeding in the NCAA tournament. This contest, beginning at 1 PM, weather permitting, will be the toughest regular season game for SU if not for Stevenson, which has lost once, to Tufts (last year’s champion), by 1 goal.

In recent years Stevenson has replaced Washington College as Maryland’s other Division III powerhouse besides SU. Not surprisingly, there’s no love lost between the two squads, or their coaches. Last year they met three times, with SU winning twice, including in the NCAA semi-final round by one goal in overtime at Sea Gull Stadium. That victory preceded the Gulls loss to Tufts in the championship game.

If you have never seen the Gulls in action, this is the chance to see them at their best against the best team on their schedule. Currently SU is ranked 2^nd and Stevenson 3^rd, with Tufts at the top in Division III. This game is rated a toss-up on Lax Power.

Our prediction: Stevenson by two goals, and a Jimbo Berkman melt down in the 4^th quarter!
