To be clear, I’m not suggesting HC has lots of players on its current roster or prior rosters that would see field time for top 10 programs. On current roster maybe Conlin.
And I’m not suggesting HC is going to come out ahead in many (or any) recruiting battles against top 10 programs.
Just that there are diamonds in the rough that we have gotten and can get to HC to play lacrosse.
Some additional scholarship money would certainly help in that regard. My understanding is that kind of help for the program is being given serious consideration.

How many full scholarships does lacrosse currently get?

Post by WheelerOnly on Mar 23, 2021 22:38:21 GMT -5
2 full scholarships or 0.5 per class. NCAA max is 12.6 for men’s lacrosse or 3.15 per class. Many PL programs offer the full scholarship allotment or close to it: Loyola, Lehigh, BU are fully funded. The service academies are their own beast since everyone is on scholarship. I think Colgate is close to but not at full funding and Lafayette is up there too (but that’s a fairly recent development for them). HC and Bucknell offer the fewest. I don’t have all of the data in front of me; the above is based on best recollection ... having seen the data a year or so ago.
I don’t think HC is contemplating the full 12.6, but instead increasing from 2 to 4, 6, or maybe even 8 depending on different paths/approaches/success with fund raising.

Thanks for the info. Honestly, amazing we’ve done this well so far with so few scholarships in a top lacrosse league. Had no idea.

Are there plans for Lax Alumni spearheading an endowed fund for Lacrosse scholarships? An initiative separate and beyond the Crusader Athletics Fund is needed to get the ball rolling for both Men and Women. If there is an initiative, is it in a quiet phase just among Lax Alumni, so as not to conflict with the annual fund? The college currently has a campaign to raise $40 million dollars for scholarships not align to athletics.
Easier for Loyola and BU to fund scholarships for Lax since they do not have football or baseball. Lehigh and Loyola do not have Ice Hockey.

ADMB is working to increase the number of scollies, and I expect this is covered in the forthcoming. strategic plan. This will mean additional scollies for the ladies as well, given Title IX and the M:F ratios.
In 2018-19, of seven PL schools (AU excluded) total spending for direct expenses all men's sports, HC spent about the same as Lafayette, twice as much as Loyola, and was $1-2M less than BostonU, Bucknell, Colgate, and Lehigh.
For the women, total direct expenses, BostonU spent $16.2M; Bucknell $12.4M; Colgate $10.2M; HC $9.7M; Lafayette $8.3M; Lehigh $9.6M; Loyola $6.2M
For indirect expenses, all sports, Lehigh spent $14.0M; HC spent $11.0M; and the other five schools averaged about $5M. I have steadfastly believed that there is money to be found in the indirect expenses account at HC, $3-4 million easily. $3 million converted to full scollies would be the equivalent of about 40 new full scollies.

down 10-1 at the half vs. AWP - garbage time in the 2nd half - now 12-3 with 3 minutes left in the game - Army is very good - ranked 7th with a W over Syracuse

Great to get a win on Senior day for this group. These seniors deserve a heck of a lot of credit and respect. No big point producers or dominant players among them, but a dedicated and committed bunch that persevered through an incredible amount of tumult, disruption, and uncertainty.
They had three different head coaches, with two of them getting fired. And they had two COVID-impacted/shortened seasons. Hard to imagine a rougher four years from a team/sports participation perspective. The class started out as 16 freshmen. I tip my hat to this small crew that stuck it out through thick and thin.

Couldn't agree more, a truly resilient group. I would consider Turner to be a signifigant piece of the team the past few years, specifically his year over year improvement. Unfortunatley, the injury bug got him more than I'm sure he would've liked.
While we're out of PL playoff contention at this point, would love to see the team finish on a high note.
The future is bright - specifically this Sophomore class from an offensive perspective. Reminds me a lot of the class who just graduated, and the class of 2017 who won at Navy. Returning every starter is certainly not a bad spot to be in, and in the PL experience is everything.
Have been very impressed with how Murphy, Fox, Conlin, Knaus, Lynch, and Lambert have raised their game during the longest off season ever. If we can get more consistency out of McKenzie/Depiero at the X, Spangenberg/DiNanno at Attack, and Reding/Roegge/Jackson/Folan on the D end we will be a very scary team in 2022. I think Kratovil and Major have a ton of potential and will continue to improve during the offseason. Add in some talented Freshman, and Coach Reppert will have a full fall at his disposal to steer the ship in the right direction.
The future is bright!

Hearing there is a COVID breakout on the team. Seems like this may lead to the season being over. Very unfortunate for all the players and coaches. The decision to hold Senior Day early was clearly a smart move to be able to recognize those 6 players and their families. Certainly being able to play Syracuse and Army this season was a valuable experience for the underclassmen. Playing these high caliber teams I'm sure helped the team realize where they need to be to compete with a Top 10 team.
Onward and upward!

Senior Day was April 4. Parents in attendance? Parents socialize with their sons after the game?
The timing of positive COVID tests after infection is typically 3-4 days. The players were tested the day before the game, and presumably all tested negative, else the game would have been called off. Unlikely that this was one player infecting another given the timing, and much more likely that whomever was the source of this infection was not tested regularly and was not vaccinated; an outside party.
Many of the students on campus last weekend during Easter break were likely student athletes, nearly all of whom are tested twice of three times a week, and have almost universally tested negative this semester.
So the 'partying' may not have been reckless partying, but families socializing.

Not because of being in the stands but what they do AFTER the game in Worcester.
