Endicott (3-0) V. Springfield (2-1)

A solid early-season non-conference matchup is on tap this weekend as Endicott and Springfield meet in a game that should have everything we need for an exciting match up. 

Endicott has opened the season looking dangerous offensively. The Gulls typically play a fast-paced brand of lacrosse and rely on balanced scoring across the lineup, often generating high shot totals and strong offensive production.

Springfield enters the matchup looking to continue building momentum. The Pride have learned more on defensive discipline and efficient possessions early in the season, often trying to control tempo and limit high-scoring games.

Historically this matchup has been competitive. The two programs have traded wins over the years, including several close games in recent seasons such as an 11–9 Endicott win in a recent meeting.

The key will be who can control the tempo. If Endicott can push the pace and turn the game into a scoring run, the Gulls will feel comfortable. But if Springfield can slow things down and control possessions, this one could be tight heading into the fourth quarter.

Players to Watch throughout the game 

Endicott

• Tommy Tysinski – 12 points this season and One of the offensive catalysts for the Gulls and a player capable of putting up multi-goal games when the offense gets rolling.
• Nick Graap – 12 points and A versatile offensive threat who contributes both as a scorer and playmaker and helps drive Endicott’s transition game.

Springfield

• Jake Degnan –9 points on the season and a key offensive piece for the Pride who often initiates the offense and can create scoring opportunities.
• Ian Cote (Goalie) – Cote has started the season strong posting a 57% save percentage this season. If Springfield wants to pull off the upset, a strong performance between the pipes will be crucial against Endicott’s high-volume offense.

Ursinus (2-2) V. Kean (3-2)

Ursinus and Kean meet this weekend in a non-conference matchup featuring two teams trending upward early in the season.

Ursinus enters the game with a 2-2 record, but the Bears have found momentum after bouncing back from two early losses with back-to-back wins over Catholic (15-14) and DeSales (16-8). The offense has been productive so far, averaging nearly 13 goals per game while generating strong shot volume. 

Kean comes into the matchup with a 3-2 record and riding a two-game winning streak, showing improvement as the season progresses. The Cougars have relied on balanced scoring and solid play in net, including strong recent performances from their defense and goalie unit.

These two teams played a tight game last season, with Kean escaping with an 11-10 win in Collegeville after scoring the go-ahead goal late in the fourth quarter.

Expect another competitive matchup this year. If Ursinus can continue its offensive momentum, the Bears could control the tempo. But if Kean’s defense and goalie play hold strong, the Cougars have already shown they can win tight games in this series.

Players to Watch

Ursinus

• Harry Sweitzer– 14 points this season and onne of the key offensive leaders for the Bears and a player capable of producing multi-point performances.
• Nicholas Grahame– 6 CTs, 12 GBs this season and a difference-maker on the defensive end that can slow down offenses all game long.

Salisbury (4-1) V. York (3-0)

This one should make for one of the best games of the weekend, with Salisbury hungry to bounce back from the loss against Lynchburg and York looking to get a staple win and cement their position within the top 5 of DeeThreeLax. 

York enters the game 3-0 and playing with confidence, recently picking up a convincing 14-6 win over Kenyon while showcasing balanced scoring throughout the lineup. The Spartans have been efficient offensively and disciplined defensively, outscoring opponents 33-22 through their first three games this season.

Salisbury, meanwhile, remains one of the premier programs in DeeThreeLax and opened the season 4-1 with impressive wins over Eastern, Grove City, Scranton, and Gettysburg before suffering a setback against Lynchburg. The Sea Gulls have been dominant statistically, already scoring 89 goals while holding opponents to just 44 early in the season. 

Historically, this matchup has leaned heavily toward Salisbury. The Sea Gulls hold a 27-3 advantage in the all-time series and have won the last four meetings, including a 17-11 victory in 2024.

For York, this is an opportunity to prove it belongs among the national contenders. For Salisbury, it’s another chance to defend home turf and remind everyone why the Sea Gulls remain one of the sport’s gold-standard programs.

Tufts (2-0) V. Amherst (1-0)

A classic NESCAC rivalry is on tap this weekend as Tufts and Amherst meet in what is always one of the more competitive matchups in the conference.

Tufts enters the game looking to continue its dominance in the series. The Jumbos have been one of the premier programs in DeeThreeLax over the past decade and have controlled this matchup recently, winning six straight games against Amherst, including a convincing 14–5 victory in 2025.

In that matchup last season, Tufts used two separate scoring runs to pull away after a competitive first quarter, highlighting the offensive firepower that has become a staple of the program.

Amherst, however, is never an easy opponent in the NESCAC. The Mammoths have traditionally relied on disciplined defense and strong goaltending to stay competitive in conference play. If Amherst wants to flip the recent trend in this rivalry, slowing down Tufts’ transition offense and limiting scoring runs will be critical.

Despite Tufts’ recent run of success, the overall history between the programs remains close, with Amherst holding a slight edge in the all-time series 36–34 dating back to 1955.

With conference implications and rivalry bragging rights on the line, expect another physical and competitive NESCAC battle.

Players to Watch

Tufts

• Logan Lee – A dangerous defensive player for the Jumbos and a consistent threat to opposing teams. Lee has 6 CTs and 2 GBs in the first two games of the season.

The Bullets have been aggressive offensively early this season, generating nearly 49 shots per game while controlling possession and ground balls at a high rate.

Washington & Lee comes into the matchup 2–2 on the season and riding a two-game winning streak. The Generals remain a perennial ODAC contender and have consistently been in the national rankings over the past several seasons, making them a dangerous opponent any time they take the field.
