Lacrosse Drops First-Ever Home Game to #9 Loyola, 15-8

Final score from Oosterbaan: Michigan 8  #9 loyola 15

Michigan could have easily given up after being down 10-2 at one point, but they fought back and fought until the end letting the fans go home encouraged.

This was Michigan's first-ever home game, and their first and only home game at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse this season. Next up Michigan will face conference opponent bellarmine on Saturday, March 17 at 3pm at Michigan Stadium. Lacrosse season ticket holders like me are geeked as hell.

^Michigan's W/L record in the ECAC column is not officially ECAC League games, but games against ECAC conference members. Michigan is an affiliate member in 2012 and will become a full member and eligible for the championship in 2013. Therefore, wins or losses for Michigan and wins and losses to Michigan by other schools will not count in their respective ECAC records.

Well, I'm not a lacrosse expert, but that score doesn't sound promising. However, when we first played soccer, we had our losses, but got a program together quickly. I'm sure that after taking a few lumps on the way, lacrosse will find its way. Their helmets have wings, don't they? Go get em!

ND lacrosse fans are some the most arrogant pricks out there. Whether it be them saying "the reason Michigan didn't schedule them is because Dave Brandon doesn't want his ego to be hurt"

I do try to inject some logic into their brains by telling them Michigan hasn't even completed their first season. Rome wasn't built over night. Stadiums aren't built in less than a year.

I have some inside info, and some of the things I'm hearing about Michigan Lacrosse home is gonna blow ND's out of the water.

I remember that name - he was a big star back in the day.  But - he's wrong.  Loyola is exactly the type of marginal power that will be hurt by Michigan's entry to the big time.  While its not a bad school, it is certainly not on the academic level of Michigan and it borders a really rough area of Baltimore.  It won't be long before Michigan is poaching recruits and beating teams like Loyola, Denver, Penn State, Ohio State, Hofstra and even some of the weaker Ivies.  It will never be Loyola lacrosse - it will be better!  (Today aside of course).

This game would put the greyhounds a game ahead of ohio in the ECAC standings if they were to win, but Michigan does not count as a conference win or loss for any teams until the 2013 season.

Same goes for Michigan, they are ineligible for the ECAC Championship and ECAC Tournament Championship until 2013. Michigan is eligible for a NCAA Tournament berth, but they would have to win out and then some to get one.

.500 was not really reasonable because their schedule is pretty tough and they're still basically playing with a club team.  But, they had a good opportunity for a win last Friday at Jacksonville but lost in overtime.  And they were without their  starting goalie for the first 4 games which made a big difference.

Loyola is #9 in the country, too, so this one is going as planned.  But, I hope and I don't think its out of the question, that they can pull off an upset somewhere along the way.  

So, to answer your question - 1-5 is about right but a little worse than expected.
