Last week brought impressive crowds, close games, unprecedented gamesmanship and dramatic controversy. With three more Top 10 tilts and first place on the line in several conference matchups, what will this weekend hold in store for college lacrosse fans?
One of those first-place battles will take place in the America East, where 4-0 Bryant will travel to Vermont to take on the undefeated Catamounts. D-Fly & Dixie talk to first-year Bryant head coach, Brad Ross, ahead of that giant America East game. They discuss Ross’ first year in Smithfield, the importance of quality people, the Pressler/Danowski coaching tree, what he looks for in Bryant recruits, lessons learned from his time at Duke, the Bulldog team leaders, what makes his offense go, the joys of parenthood and much more.
