Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3159101, member: 549"] [SIZE=4]Connecticut lacrosse in the national spotlight once again[/SIZE] >>A year ago the national-championship runs by the Yale and Wesleyan men’s lacrosse programs raised the visibility of the sport in Connecticut. Lacrosse will be front and center once again on the national stage with Yale one of the four teams playing NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse quarterfinal games at Rentschler Field on Sunday. That is merely the tip of the lacrosse iceberg as the Division I men’s national championship team in 2021 and 2022 will be crowned at the site of the UConn football program. The popularity of lacrosse in Connecticut seems to grow with each passing year. For those who need any proof, consider that Loyola (MD) and Penn will be playing in East Hartford on Sunday and the only Division I men’s program with more Connecticut natives on the roster than Loyola’s 10 and Penn’s eight is Vermont. Six of the eight NCAA Division I quarterfinalists have at least one Connecticut player.<< [I]Here’s a look at the Connecticut high school programs with the most current Division I men’s lacrosse players[/I] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Brunswick[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]17[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Darien[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]17[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]New Canaan[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]15[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Staples[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]10[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Ridgefield[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]9[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Greenwich[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]8[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Fairfield Prep[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]7[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Cheshire[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]5[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Glastonbury[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]5[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][LEFT]Xavier[/LEFT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]5[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [I]Division I men’s programs with the most Connecticut products (teams in bold are in the quarterfinals)[/I] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Vermont[/TD] [TD]11[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Loyola (MD)[/B][/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Penn[/B][/TD] [TD]8[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Brown[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Quinnipiac[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Colgate[/TD] [TD]6[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bucknell[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Holy Cross[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]UMass[/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Virginia[/B][/TD] [TD]5[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [I]— Jim Fuller[/I] [/QUOTE]
