A considerable amount of lacrosse talent comes from the mid-atlantic states, but lacrosse has certainly picked up in the northeast. Considering how both Johns Hopkins and Maryland have been traditional national powerhouses, having them both become apart of the inagural Big Ten lacrosse league will not only enhance the league's notoriety, but also positively impact Michigan's lacrosse recruiting now that we will have access to talent rich New Jersey, Maryland, New York, New England, and Virginia. 

I'm really looking forward to seeing our program contend at the national level in the coming years. Go Blue.
