À propos de cet audio

This episode chronicles the evolution of lacrosse from a handful of East Coast prep school games into a major force in American college athletics. Beginning with Johns Hopkins University's pioneering program in 1883, the story follows the sport's expansion through Ivy League institutions and its eventual spread across the entire United States. Host Ollie Bennett examines the development of legendary rivalries like Johns Hopkins versus Syracuse, the establishment of the NCAA tournament in 1971, and the geographic expansion that brought competitive lacrosse to the South and West. The episode explores how university-based development created institutional continuity and resources that club teams couldn't match, while examining the role of coaching innovation, recruiting sophistication, and academic excellence in shaping the sport's college culture.
