This weekend,
@SalisburyMLax
coach Jim Berkman could win his 600th game. No other men's coach has 500.
12 of those are national championship wins.
He also has 100 wins as women's soccer coach and some hoops.
"I've been on the sidelines for a lot of college activity."

His story:
Great moment in postgame press conference. On Michael Ehrhardt MVP, Tom Schreiber said. "He 100% deserves it. He’s our best player. Our most valuable player for sure. I think by a mile," He pauses. "A kilometer.”

The photos coming out of Hickory, N.C., this tournament have been incredible. An engaged student body, active alums and a raucous crowd. They're all coming to East Hartford.

Miss those May road trips watching playoff lacrosse. The early wake-up, the drive Upstate with some good tunes on, the anticipation, then getting to witness some of the great moments of these athletes' lives. Four years ago....

Liam Connor game-winner off a bad PSU turnover, Hunter Droiun 4G, 1A. Matt LaCombe 13 saves
The Raiders knock off No. 4 Penn State!
Silver lining to the lacrosse shutdown: Every coach I've talked to the past few days has been playing with their kids while talking to me. Lots of family time missed during the spring over the years they're getting a taste of.

13. A crazy finish in the best game of the First Round. Sam Shafer stops Alex Simmons in the last seconds, and Loyola is going to the Quarterfinals.
A career-high 16 saves for Shafer.
In Transfer Portal: Limestone's Larson Sundown. Had 110 points in 2019 w/Limestone, won a JuCo title with OCC in 2017. First-team IL Media All-American this year.
