Stony Brook`s victory over Rutgers highlights a competitive lacrosse season with standout performances from various teams.

Stony Brook Seawolves achieved a significant milestone by defeating the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 9-8, marking their first victory over a ranked opponent since 2021. This hard-fought win comes after a grueling early season schedule that included tough matchups against North Carolina and Rutgers, all while navigating a young and injury-stricken roster.

In the Atlantic Lacrosse Conference, Pittsburgh leads the North division with a 1-0 record, while Virginia Tech dominates the South division at 2-0. Virginia Tech has made a strong impression, scoring 45 goals while allowing only 6, showcasing their offensive prowess and defensive strength. Clemson follows closely with 23 goals scored and 21 allowed, indicating a competitive start to the season.

Meanwhile, in the Empire 8 conference, St. John Fisher University is on the hunt for its sixth consecutive title. The Cardinals are currently ranked 14th in the preseason United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association poll and 15th in the Inside Lacrosse Preseason Poll. With key players like seniors Jimmy Atkinson and Riley Henselder returning, they aim to maintain their dominance.

In the National Lacrosse League, the San Diego Seals are gearing up to face the undefeated Buffalo Bandits, who have not lost in nearly a year. The Bandits` defense has been formidable, allowing only 57 goals this season, while their offense, led by Dhane Smith and Josh Byrne, continues to score consistently.
