But he was not alone as his teammate Alec Stathakis had himself a nice 23 fantasy point day from 73% and 6 ground balls. Lastly, Gerard Arceri had a bounce back game versus Hopkins after failing to break 50% in his last three games. His 79% and 8GB were good for 27 FPversus Matt Narewski, who actually edged him out in their meeting two weeks ago.

Top Fantasy Lacrosse Matchups this Weekend
And to wrap up the show some rapid fire matchups to keep an eye on for your lineup this week:Â
Any players on Georgetown vs. St. Johns The Hoyas look to take advantage of a team that Denver beat up on two weeks ago.
TD Ierlan or Alex Stathakis vs. Marquette Stathakis had a great day last time these teams met, and this duo isn’t slowing down anytime soon.Â
Joey Epstein or Connor DeSimone vs. Michigan Despite lackluster performances this week, Epstein and DeSimone should bounce back for Hopkins with Michigan on deck.
Petey LaSalla vs. Richmond’s FO unitÂ
Any of the usual suspects on Maryland vs. Penn State

Tyler began his lacrosse journey in Yorktown Heights, NY, where he had the pleasure of being a member of the Yorktown Huskers Varsity Lacrosse team. By then he had already become very passionate about the game, becoming a bonafide Lax Rat both on and off the field. Now as playing days wind down, he looks to use his degree in Sport Media and broadcast journalism to cover the College and the PLL ranks, creating content of all kinds. You can disagree with his takes, or his analysis, but one thing he IS certain about are his 3x abilities. (He'll bring his three, you bring yours.)
