Notes from Salisbury at Marymount
The Sea Gulls may not lose this year. It’s no secret. They are so deep, they know the Loch Ness Monster. They are so fast that they bump into people all the time in the halls at school. They are good. Marymount is one of D.C.’s hidden D3s. A short drive away, Catholic and Marymount give us a chance to see a division that is harder to cover geographically than any other. While they sometimes are overmatched, like Marymount against Salisbury, both programs are improving at a steady click and are great options for mid-Atlantic laxers who want to earn a prestigious political science degree and perhaps even start their political career in D.C., which is not easy.
If you watch the film of Salisbury's 24-8 win over Marymount on March 12, the Saints have some pretty good talent, but the Sea Gulls were overwhelming at every position. The Marymount attack is big, athletic and pretty sound. We look forward to seeing them play again, in a less stressful environment. A somewhat unique and quaint quality in lacrosse was on display during this game. Maybe a hundred fans came out to watch, mostly friends of the players at Marymount and some probably had never seen a lacrosse game before. Most had little to no appreciation of the quality of this Salisbury team before the game, while many still had not gotten it even after. They just had fun, rooting on their guys and showing great sportsmanship.
