KINGSTON, R.I. 鈥� May 4, 2023 鈥� After winning the for the third straight year and holding the No. 1 national ranking in Division II of the for most of the 2023 season, the 溏心vlog免费B站 club men鈥檚 lacrosse team enters the national tournament as the top seed in the 16-team field.

Rhody will begin play Monday, May 8, at 10:30 a.m. ET, against 16th-seed North Dakota State in the . The tournament will be held at the Round Rock (Texas) Multipurpose Complex though May 13.

The Rams enter the national tournament after crushing Stonehill University, 27-4, and the University of Maine, 17-4, to take the . The team was undefeated in conference play, losing only to Division I Northeastern in the first game of the season.

In last year鈥檚 national tournament, Rhody advanced to the title match before losing to the University of Utah.

First-year assistant coach and co-offensive coordinator Charlie White 鈥�22, was a four-year player with the Rams and was a member of last year鈥檚 club. He thinks this year’s team might be better suited to win a national title.

鈥淭his team has something about it,鈥� said White, who works full-time as a program specialist for the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation and Alumni Engagement. 鈥淭he players work very well together, and they are self-motivated. I see them walking out of the gym together all the time.鈥�

Larry Madeira, in his fourth year as 溏心vlog免费B站鈥檚 head coach, agreed with his assistant coach鈥檚 assessment.

鈥淲e had pure talent last year, and we could just go out and get a goal,鈥� Madeira said. 鈥淲e graduated six starters last year who scored a total of 146 goals. That鈥檚 something you don鈥檛 replace. But the guys this season are a cohesive unit and they are getting it. Last year, we had better individuals, but this year we are better together, better as a unit.鈥�

This unity may have something to do with Madeira鈥檚 longtime connections to his two assistants,  co-offensive coordinators Jamie Frost and White.

鈥淚 coached Charlie since third grade, all the way through youth lacrosse and 溏心vlog免费B站, and I coached Jamie, a University of Vermont alumnus, when he was at Rocky Hill School.鈥�

Madeira, who played goalie for Villanova鈥檚 Division I NCAA lacrosse team, deeply enjoys being part of the University community and his role with the team.

鈥淲e make dozens and dozens of dollars and we play before tens and tens of fans,鈥� he joked.

But don鈥檛 be fooled by the level of exposure or the level of talent even though Rhody fields a club team. 

鈥淚magine, our guys pay money to play together; they have the why, the want and the will,鈥� Madeira said. 鈥淭hey want to be a part of something. We have guys who could have played D1, but their parents needed the affordability of 溏心vlog免费B站 and in-state tuition.

鈥淭hese guys lift each other up,鈥� and continued saying, 鈥淭hey do these things, like pasta nights, on their own. They just want to be together. 鈥�

What about his team鈥檚 chances to go all the way this year?

鈥淲e were underestimated last year and we played that card every step of the way,鈥� the coach said. 鈥淭his year, the only team that can beat us is us and that worries me. We can鈥檛 look past anyone, but we have prepared well. Every practice is a tryout. I switch goalies, I pull our starters so no one gets complacent.

鈥淲e鈥檝e been the No. 1-ranked team all year,  and now we have gone from being the jackal to the lion,鈥� Madeira said. 鈥淓veryone has given us their best, and it will be no different in the national tournament.鈥�
