LaxFactor’s College Lacrosse Division I Pre-Season Top 20: #11 through #13 (LaxFactor Podcast #331)

Todays episode we’re going to talk about my #13, #12 and #11 picks, getting us ready for the episode this Sunday covering the top 10. The season is close so I have to rip through these, and of all my picks so far, I’m really questioning two of them I’ll talk about today and may end up making an adjustment to my list before handing in my first poll.

#13 Denver: Denver was a team last season that fell victim to a new term I'm coining "schedule creep". This means some of the games you scheduled that would traditionally be wins ended up turning into more losses than expected due to your own issues mixed with teams simply being better than expected.

#12 Brown: Brown had a “come to Jesus” moment and rattled off 6 straight wins to end the regular season. They dropped Penn, Yale, Cornell, Bryant and Dartmouth over that stretch. That got them into the Ivy League tournament where they lost to Penn in a rematch, but that was enough to get them into the NCAA tournament.

#11 Ohio State: I really like what I see on paper for Ohio State. Jack Myers is one of the best five attackmen in the country in my opinion and the addition of LIU transfer Richie LaCalandra is going to go a long way in making sure Ohio State doesn’t lose a lot of steam offensively.
