SELC Lacrosse Division I - What Did We Learn this Weekend?
SELC Division I - NorthEast Division
East Carolina - Got their 1st victory of the season 5-4 over SELC D2 Citadel.
NC State - Did not Play.
Virginia Tech - Opened season at home defeated GRLC Indiana 18-9.
Wake Forest - Defeated SELC D2 Elon 10-7, defeated GRLC Indiana 8-7.
West Virginia - Opening on the road, Beat Mississippi 7-6, loses to Georgia Tech 5-3 and South Carolina 17-6
VT opened their season with their usual efficiency, putting Indiana away with 7 goals in the 4th quarter.Wake Forest had a nice one goal win over Indiana. If Wake Forest can keep it close, they have the possibility to beat teams with their deliberate style of play. West Virginia went on a long road-trip, Morgantown to Atlanta and Columbia SC to start their season, going 1-2. A one goal win against Mississippi. Is it the opening week "O" blues or are the Mountaineers offensively (16 goals in 3 games will not get it done) challenged. Nice to see East Carolina get its first win of the season at the Citadel.
In the Northeast Division it is all about the Hokies. Wake Forest and the WolfPack can make it interesting.
SELC Division I - NorthWest Division
Clemson - Beat SELC D2 Wofford 18-2, SCAD 10-3, South Florida 15-8 all on the road.
Kentucky - Lost at home to division rival Vanderbilt 12-11.
South Carolina - Beat South Florida 24-5 in Savannah Ga, defeated West Virginia 17-6 at home
Tennessee - Beat division foe Vandbilt 9-8 in Nashville.
Vanderbilt - Had 2 division games, Lost to the Vols 9-8, beat Kentucky 12-11
Clemson keeps rolling along, 3 wins for the week. Tennessee beat Vanderbilt in OT in Nashville. in Knoxville Kentucky was beating Vanderbilt 10-7 going into the 4th quarter but gave up 5 goals and lost 12-11 at home to Vanderbilt. South Carolina continues to beat-up on their opponents scoring 66 goals while giving up 15 goals in 4 games this season. Waiting to see how the Gamecocks react to a tighter game scenario. South Carolina's division schedule doesn't start till March 20th.
Clemson still the class of NorthWest Division. Tennessee, Kentucky still have life with one division loss. South Carolina has everything in front of them. Vanderbilt is 1 goal away from a 2-1 record, but are 1-2 in the division. This division will get real interesting after the spring break.
SELC Division I - SouthEast Division
Florida - Lost to MCLA Champ Michigan 26-6 in Ann Arbor and lost to Michigan State 12-6.
Florida State - Beat Central Florida 22-14, Georgia 11-5, LSA SMU 13-5, all at home.
Central Florida - Lost to FSU 22-14, beat LSA SMU 21-7, beat Georgia 18-11
Miami - Did not Play.
South Florida - On the road, loses to Clemson 15-8 and South Carolina 24-5.
The big game was Florida's game in Ann Arbor to play MCLA Champ Michigan. That didn't work! But it was certainly worth the effort. Has to help the Gators down the line. Florida State took out Central Florida 22-14. FSU was up 13-3 at the half. As we suspected UCF can score but can't defend. "Defense wins championships", had to get some coach speak in! Maybe UCF will find some defense? Need to see more of Miami, they start playing again this weekend.
But it looks more like the "same old, same old" FSU @ Florida April 15th for division championship.
SELC Division I - SouthEast Division
Alabama - On the road defeated LSU 15-10, Baylor 13-4 and Tulane 17-3.
Auburn - Did not Play.
Georgia - Lost to FSU 11-5 and Central Florida 18-11 in Tallahassee.
Georgia Tech - Beat West Virginia 5-3 at home.
Mississippi - Lost to West Virginia 7-6 in Atlanta.
Alabama is 4-0 and appears to be the class of the division. They seem to be proving that they are for "real"! "But" will Auburn and Georgia start to play like they usually do. Georgia Tech and Mississippi seem to be offensive challenged. Seems as though this entire division has a problem with offense, with the exception of the Tide.
There is a window of opportunity here for Alabama!
I will get to see Mississippi and Auburn play this weekend in Oxford Mississippi.
