D-Fly & Dixie: NCAA Championship Weekend Preview

About this episode

The episode previews the NCAA Championship Weekend in lacrosse, featuring insights from guests and analysis of the semifinal matchups.

NCAA Championship Weekend Preview Oh, how the season flies by. The college lacrosse season moves like a blink. In early February, teams are grinding through freezing practices and games, breath visible in the air, the whole journey still ahead of them. And then, almost instantly, the cold is gone, the stakes rise, and every game feels like it carries a season’s weight. By late May, only four teams remain. The noise is louder, the weather warmer, and the margin for error gone. Championship Weekend arrives like a rush, the final sprint toward a trophy that suddenly feels both impossibly close and hard‑earned. It’s one of the sport’s quiet wonders: a season that starts in the cold and ends in a blaze, faster than anyone expects. D-Fly and Dixie enlist friends Richard Chizmar and Evan Washburn to help get you set for what should be a fantastic weekend of lacrosse in Charlottesville. First, best-selling author and Virginia Lacrosse parent Chizmar weighs in on the coaching news and gives elite Charlottesville restaurant recommendations. Then, Dixie and his broadcast teammate Washburn break down the two semifinal matchups. GAME PREVIEWS Saturday, May 23 Scott Stadium, Charlottesville…
