4/11 D-Fly & Dixie: Sink or Swim with Rutgers' Cardin Stoller Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

As we get to mid-April we get to Rivalry Week Part 1, and we see classic games like North Carolina-Duke and Army-Navy. For the most part we have great conference clashes up and down the schedule this week. However, one giant non-conference game highlights the schedule this week. Central New York powerhouses Cornell and Syracuse head to Long Island to square off in the Game of the Week. D-Fly and Dixie are here to set the table for all of this week’s feast.
This year, Inside Lacrosse is proud to partner with the NCAA to offer you, our loyal listeners, $5 off all single-day ticket options (men and women) by using the code ILPOD at checkout.

Our guest this week is Rutgers standout sophomore goalkeeper and 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Cardin Stoller. Stoller has been excellent, especially in last week’s upset Maryland in which he stopped 14 shots and scored his second goal of the season. The guys talk about Camp Takajo, the MIAA to Rutgers pipeline, redshirting, Big Ten Freshman of the Year, the 2025 Scarlet Knights season, his Rutgers teammates, Goaliesmith, the upcoming matchup with Michigan, swimming in the Inner Harbor, Boys’ Latin all-time greats and much, much more.
WEEKEND PREVIEW
Six games in our preview this week, with five legit Top 20 matchups and two Top 10 games and one of the best rivalries in the sport to highlight this week’s schedule.
SATURDAY
No. 5 Army (9-1, 4-1 Patriot) at Navy (7-4, 3-2), 12:30 p.m., CBS Sports Network
One of the best rivalries in the sport. Army has won the last two years, but Navy won 4-of-5 prior to that. While this is one of those rivalries where record truly doesn’t matter, that is not the case. We haven’t talked about Navy in a while, but they’re right behind Army.
No. 19 Johns Hopkins (6-5, 0-3 B1G) at No. 8 Penn State (7-3, 1-2), 1 p.m., Big Ten Plus
What can you say? The Jays need this. Hopkins has controlled this series, winning last year and four of the last five meetings. However, this one is at Penn State, and the Nittany Lions have won four of the last five meetings in University Park.
No. 6 Maryland (8-2, 1-2 B1G) at No. 2 Ohio State (11-1, 3-0), 2 p.m., Big Ten Network
Big game in Columbus. Maryland has dominated this series, 14-3, and the Terps have won six in a row and eight of the last nine.
No. 7 North Carolina (8-2, 1-0 ACC) at No. 12 Duke (9-3, 0-1), 4 p.m., ACC Network
Fans may remember last year when a depleted UNC shocked No. 2-ranked Duke, 15-12. The 2025 Tar Heels aren’t going to sneak up on anybody.
No. 4 Syracuse (9-2) vs. No. 1 Cornell (9-1), Uniondale, N.Y., 4 p.m., Corrigan Sports Network
Cornell has won four of the last five, including two consecutive. The game has gone into OT each of the last two meetings, with Cornell winning 18-17 in 2OT last year, and 16-15 in 2022. We can only hope for another one as good as those.
SUNDAY
No. 14 Michigan (6-5, 2-1 B1G) at No. 18 Rutgers (6-6, 2-1), noon, Big Ten Network
Rutgers is 10-1 all-time against Michigan, dating back to 2012. RU lost in Ann Arbor in 2015 in the first ever meeting of the two teams as Big Ten foes. Since then, Rutgers has won nine straight, including a 6-0 all-time record at home against the Wolverines.
In this week’s Ovie-themed Give & Go, the guys talk about Ovechkin breaking Gretzky’s record and Ovie’s status in the pantheon of Washington, D.C. all-time great pros.

4/9 DIII: NPI Release, Goal Controversies, Heavy Hitters Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

The first NPI — the NCAA Power Index, a replacement for RPI— has been released. With that has extreme implications for the NCAA Tournament and how it is seeded. Kap and Caleb are back with that, plus a ton of big-time results: Salisbury’s victory over CNU, Tufts' OT thriller with Wesleyan, and a Roanoke vs. Lynchburg game that immediately was tagged as a classic.
There has been goal controversy with a pair of games involving the Jumbos that the guys touch on, too.

4/7 The Tailgate: Prep for the Stretch Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

Whether it was Rutgers' upset of Maryland, Syracuse's win over Notre Dame in front of a record crowd in the Dome or Penn State's comeback at Michigan, IL's Terry Foy, Larken Kemp and Nick Ossello (who was brave enough to show up for a portion of the episode despite the Irish's loss) unpack Week 9 of the college lacrosse season.
They dissect the Ivy League, from Harvard's one-sided win over Dartmouth to Yale's pivotal outcome over Penn to Cornell's closer-than-it-seemed victory vs. Brown. From there, they dive into Carolina's dominant second half vs. Virginia, then move into the quick-hitters: Gtown over Marquette in OT, High Point upsetting UMass, Loyola getting its first win over Bucknell in OT, Duke snapping its two-game losing streak and Army-Navy pitting two teams coming off wins.

4/4 D-Fly & Dixie: Baltimore Love with Syracuse's Billy Dwan Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

As we head into the month of April, Inside Lacrosse has released its first Bracketology presented by Get Reps. Based upon RPI and Strength of Schedule, I wasn’t surprised at the top four (Princeton, Maryland, Notre Dame and North Carolina), but it was something to see the nation’s No. 1 team, Cornell, as IL’s seventh best resume and the current third-ranked team, Ohio State, on the outside of the bubble. But hey, that’s why we play the games! This week there are five Top 20 matchups and one delicious Top 10 matchup for your viewing enjoyment. D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you ready.
And as teams battle the week-to-week storms of April conference play, don’t forget that famous old expression, “April showers bring May prowess.” Ok, maybe I just made that up, but the teams that weather and grow from conference battles always set themselves up best for the postseason.

This week’s guest is Syracuse junior All-American, defenseman Billy Dwan. As the Orange prepare for a Top 10 showdown in the Dome against Notre Dame, the guys talk about paying your dues on the JV, growing up as the son of a coach, being an impact freshman, choosing Syracuse, overcoming early season setbacks, Baltimore, Notre Dame, Loyola Blakefield legends and much, much more. This was a good one that you don’t want to miss.
WEEKEND PREVIEW
Six games in our preview this week, with five legit Top 20 matchups and one Top 10 game to highlight this week’s schedule.
SATURDAY
No. 12 Duke (8-3) at No. 15 Boston U (8-2), 1 p.m., ESPN+
These schools have met six times since 2014. Duke has won all six, including a back and forth, 11-10, victory on a rainy Wednesday last March.
No. 11 Harvard (7-2, 1-1 Ivy) at No. 18 Dartmouth (7-2, 1-1), 1 p.m., ESPN+
With both teams coming into the game ranked in the Top 20, it’s not hyperbole to say that this is the biggest game ever for these Ancient Eight rivals.
No. 3 Ohio State (10-1, 2-0 B1G) at No. 17 Johns Hopkins (6-4, 0-2), 2 p.m., ESPNU
Homecoming at Homewood. Hopkins leads the series, 11-7. JHU won last two, including 11-10 OT win in Columbus last April.
No. 5 Notre Dame (5-2, 1-0 ACC) at No. 7 Syracuse (8-2, 1-0), 2 p.m., ACC Network
Big time ACC game between Top 10 foes. Notre Dame has won the last seven straight games in this series, including last year’s 14-12 victory in South Bend.
Virginia (5-5, 0-1 ACC) at No. 8 North Carolina (7-2, 0-0), 4 p.m., ACC Network
Pivotal early ACC game for both teams, but especially for Virginia.
SUNDAY
No. 9 Penn State (6-3, 0-2 B1G) at No. 13 Michigan (6-4, 2-0), noon, Big Ten Network
Penn State downed Michigan 14-8 in the regular season, but the Wolverines got their payback in a big way, downing the Nittany Lions 16-4 in the Big Ten Championship game.
GIVE & GO
In this week’s Baltimore-themed Give & Go, the guys get real about their love for their hometown of Baltimore, Maryland.

3/31 The Tailgate: The Best We've Been Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

On a weekend when the hierarchy of games wasn't immediately clear, the results didn't stop the world on its axis and the season-long trends weren't upended, the boys produced what they think is — inarguably — the best Tailgate Podcast of 2025 so far.
IL's Terry Foy, Nick Ossello and Larken start with a breakdown of Army's win over Carolina, discuss Notre Dame doubling up Duke, stop in College Park for Maryland's bounceback win over Penn State, then dive into what is annually one of the most anticipated matchups in the game: Syracuse at Virginia. On top of that, they examine whether it was a better for Michigan or a worse loss for Hopkins, then parse through the Ivy League, highlighted by Larken's appearance at the Brown tailgate.

3/28 D-Fly & Dixie: Big Green Flowers with Dartmouth's Colin McGill Mar 28, 2025

Show notes

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the middle of the season. (Be sure to check out IL’s Midseason All-Americans.) Who would have guessed that last week’s three Big Ten road underdogs would end up in first place in the Big Ten? That Maryland and Hopkins would lose at home to .500 ball clubs? The thing that makes sports so great is that anything can happen, and that is why they play the games. It sets up another exciting weekend of action, and D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you ready.

This week’s guest is Dartmouth senior standout, attackman Colin McGill. McGill and the Big Green have been turning heads this season and it’s time to give them their flowers. Ahead of the big game vs. Princeton, the guys talk about Dartmouth’s terrific 7-1 start, the culture change in Hanover, getting a validating win at Penn, Malvern Prep lacrosse, moving up the Big Green all-time scoring list, who makes the best rack of lamb in New Hampshire and much, much more.
WEEKEND PREVIEW
Five Top 20 matchups to highlight this week’s schedule, and the start times are noon, noon, noon, noon and 1 p.m. So don’t plan any yard work during that noon to 3 p.m. window on Saturday.
SATURDAY
No. 5 North Carolina (7-1) at No. 9 Army (7-1), noon, ESPN+
A big game, slightly soured by Army’s loss last week. Army is in dire need of a quality win.
No. 4 Princeton (5-2, 1-1 Ivy) at No. 18 Dartmouth (7-1, 1-0), noon, ESPN+
Princeton has won nine straight in this series, including a 15-5 win last season in the Garden State.
No. 11 Duke (8-2) at No. 7 Notre Dame (4-2), noon, ESPNU
Coming off a bye week, the Fighting Irish welcome Duke to Arlotta Stadium. Duke is looking to bounce back from its head-scratching loss to Denver. ND has won six straight in the series with ND beating Duke twice in each of the last three years.
No. 6 Penn State (6-2, 0-1 B1G) at No. 2 Maryland (7-1, 0-1), noon, Big Ten Network
The Border War between two teams that just do not like each other. Historically, Maryland has dominated this rivalry.
No. 14 Johns Hopkins (6-3, 0-1 B1G) at No. 19 Michigan (5-4, 1-0), 1 p.m.
Hopkins has had a lot of success against Michigan, winning 11-of-13 matchups all time against Michigan, but the Wolverines got a leg up last year 10-7 in the B1G Tournament. JHU won the regular season matchup, 15-11.
In this week’s garden-themed Give & Go, the guys talk about spring landscaping, flowers, the unwanted wrath of the home owners’ association and more.

3/24 The Tailgate: Basque in the Glow of an Epic Weekend Mar 24, 2025

Show notes

They say “Kempin’ Ain’t Easy” and listen to this — we’ve got an analyst currently recording from San Sebastian.
As such, we’re recording before Penn State-Ohio State, but we've got everything you need from Michigan's three-overtime upset at Maryland, Dartmouth's epic OT win at Penn, Boston U's star-making win at Army, Brown's deep dig at UMass, Denver's domination of Duke in Dallas and much more. Among the quick-hitters:

Fairfield is the last undefeated team
Livvy Dunn leads Bucknell over Lehigh
Two Top 20 matchups — No. 14 Richmond 13, No. Gtown 12 and No. 10 ’Cuse 16, No. 18 Colgate 12 — can’t even break into the deep game recaps
Nick’s Utah upsetting UVA prediction goes wrong, but Terry's prediction that UVA’s RPI would fall despite two wins was correct and they’re now 24

All that and more in a podcast that can be described in no other way than as a celebration of life and lacrosse.

Are the Big Green for real? Penn has won 10 straight in this series. Can Dartmouth end that streak?
